I usually put contest announcements on the discussion boards instead of in the blog, but Beth Whitman who was just on the Amateur Traveler talking about Traveling to India as a Woman Is having a writing contest. Submit a blog entry to Beth and you could win a trip to South America.

Join Intrepid Travel and discover a land of contrasts as you journey from Lima’s coastal shores, through the lushness of the Amazon Jungle, and onto the snow-capped peaks, llama-filled plains and quaint colonial towns of the Andean altiplano. Get up close to wildlife while staying in a jungle lodge, embark on the trek of a lifetime along the Inca Trail and immerse yourself in the culture and history of fascinating La Paz. This insightful adventure is sure to leave you astounded by the magic and mystery of the sacred land of the Incas.
