Two Weeks in Peru for Me, for You?
November 3rd, 2008 Posted in Cheap Latin America Travel, Leffel projects, Travel adventures, contests
I am heading back down to Peru in December on assignment, but if you can fire up a great travel essay, you may be heading there yourself. Beth Whitman runs the Wanderlust and Lipstick blog and has a book out by the same name. (She also wrote a story about Hampi for Perceptive Travel.) She is running a writing contest now and I’m one of the judges.
First prize is a 15-day full-blown Peru tour with Intrepid. There are a million tour companies running trips in Peru, but Intrepid is one of the good ones for people that don’t normally like group tours. Small numbers and responsible travel practices mean trips that are more about experience and interaction than checking off boxes from a bus seat.
The runner-up prizes are nice too, like five bags from Timbuk2 and three of my favorite green travel item: the SteriPen.
