This week we’re searching for tips on historical sites in Latin America, from pre-Columbian pyramids to neo-gothic cathedrals. But don’t just tell us how awesome Machu Picchu or Oaxaca are – we want to know about local guides, local secrets and what to do nearby. And don’t stick the classic tourist sights - we’re just as interested in small colonial towns and off-the-been-track ruins.

Send us your tips via GuardianWitness – including as much detail as you can (with website and prices if possible) and you could win a £200 hotel voucher.

The best tips will appear in print in next weekend’s Travel section and the winner, chosen by Tom Hall of Lonely Planet, will receive a £200 hotel voucher from Hotels.com, allowing you to stay in more than 260,000 places worldwide. Submit your tip by clicking the blue button and using the text tab.

You’re welcome to add a photo if you own the copyright to it – but it’s the text we’ll be judging!

Your tip should be around 100 words long. Terms and conditions.

Closes 2 December 10am GMT
