Our cover story in last Sunday's print edition was about Guyana, French Guiana and Suriname. Have you been to any of those countries, or anywhere else in South America that you've really enjoyed? You might have been inspired by wine-tasting in Chile, dancing the tango in Argentina, fine dining in Peru, wildlife-watching on the Amazon, hiking in Patagonia or enjoying the beaches of cosmopolitan Brazil. The reader who sends in the best entry wins a £500 voucher.
