You need a vacation, that much is for sure. But where should you go? Somewhere far? Somewhere familiar? The city? The mountains? Something adventurous? Something serene? It's possible to check all these boxes at once, which is why we've teamed up with a couple of awesome partners to send you on an all-inclusive adventure to explore one of South America's most iconic sites: Machu Picchu.

An ancient city built into the Andes Mountains at 8,000 feet, things look different from the amazing vantage point of Machu Picchu. And another 3,000 feet up the mountain lies Cusco, Peru, a stunning mountain town dripping with history and natural beauty. The whole area has become a popular tourist destination in the last few years, which means you cannot see the ruins without an authorized guide… which is actually a good thing because the winner of our contest gets:

  • Round trip flights from the US to Peru
  • An all-inclusive, seven-day stay in Peru
  • A full-day guided tour of the Cusco and the Sacred Valley
  • A three-day hike of the Lares Trail
  • Three nights of camping on the Lares Trail
  • A guided tour of Machu Picchu at sunrise

  • You know it from books, movies, TVs and your one friend's Facebook profile picture. Now it's time you have your very own journey through the Lost City of the Inca.

     
    ADVENTURE, PLEASE

    Parachute's warm quilts, soft sheets and fluffy pillows are as autumn as it gets. With modern style and ultimate comfort, they make a pretty strong case for ditching apple picking and staying near blankets until spring. Everything that's great about fall can be experienced through a cracked window, anyway.
