How to create your own travel itinerary

Have you already created a travel itinerary? If the answer was “no”, it’s time to learn this process and make the most of each of your trips. It is important to remember every detail when creating the itinerary, after all, it is planning to transform your trip into a unique experience.

Imagine being in Rio Janeiro and not having time to visit Christ the Redeemer because you lost control of your time during the trip! Having an itinerary on hand in advance is important so that you can visit the most desired places in the region and manage your time intelligently.

Creation of the travel itinerary

First of all, establish the number of people who will be with you on this trip. Traveling alone will give you greater freedom of decision when choosing destinations, but traveling with other people can be more fun!

Next, it is important to write down in hours how much travel time you will have. This way, you will have a more practical time measurement with a healthier margin of error. Take into account your sleep time, your physical disposition and the time spent on other tasks such as lunch, dinner, etc. Remember: unforeseen events happen. If possible, set aside some blank time for possible unexpected situations.

Prioritize your most desired tours and leave the least desired ones for last. Observe the distance between them to study the best way to move between locations. That way, if something happens during your trip, you'll have visited the places at the top of your list.

Travel itinerary creation tools

Some tools like Google Maps and Trip Advisor help make putting together this itinerary a little easier and more automated. Some of the functions of these tools include viewing important information about destinations, such as tourist attractions, restaurants, among others, as well as sharing experiences among users, making each trip a collective journey. You can use them if you want a more technological itinerary, moving away from pen and paper.

Expense identification and documentation

To avoid going overboard with your expenses during your trip, you will need to create a budget for your trip. Prioritize spending on accommodation, food and transportation, but also think about spending on tours and other activities. Always have some money in reserve in case you want to buy a souvenir to take home or if you have any unforeseen circumstances during your trip.

Another very important point in planning your trip is documentation. By creating the itinerary in advance, you will have more time to provide missing documents necessary for the trip, such as passport, visas, etc.
