Santa Cruz vacations come in various shapes and sizes, but to get a real feel for this destination, we'd suggest 5 days is about right. With this timeframe, you can fit in headline attractions like Palheiro Gardens and Pinnacle Viewpoint and seek out some lesser-known spots. Don't forget to explore cool neighbourhoods such as Santa Maria Maior and Sao Goncalo either. If you're clever with your time, you can even schedule a day trip from Santa Cruz too.

Santa Cruz has all the ingredients you need for the perfect trip — coastal beaches, hiking and fishing are just the start. Whether you'd like to check out attractions such as Palmeiras Beach and Santo da Serra Market, or venture off the beaten track, there's plenty to experience on your Santa Cruz vacation.

Use Expedia's handy filters to help you find some terrific Santa Cruz package deals. When you start your search, simply set your maximum budget and then sort the results by "Price: low to high." If you want to save, plan your escape for midweek, or look for Santa Cruz package deals in the off-season. Play around with your travel dates and you may land even better discounts. As a rule of thumb, it's usually best to book your vacation package well in advance.

Expedia vacation packages are designed to make your money go further. Bundle your hotel, flight and car rental into one great-value price and you could save hundreds of dollars.
