An All-expense Paid Trip for Two to Remote Patagonia is up for Grabs...

An all-expense paid trip for two to remote Patagonia is up for grabs as Upscape and Crua Outdoors encourage customers to opt outside this Black Friday

A Black Friday giveaway for the trip of a lifetime valued at $20,000 USD, with the real, priceless value of complete disconnection. Two brands dedicated to bringing their customers to faraway places in style, experiential travel company Upscape and durable outdoor product maker, Crua Outdoors, are joining the Black Friday movement to, “opt outside” this holiday season. The co-branded giveaway, “The Great Crua Outpost Escape,” will include prizes announced weekly and the ultimate prize, an all-expense paid 10-day/9-night trip to Chilean Patagonia, including three nights at Outpost Patagonia and a stay at the Lodge at Chacabuco in Patagonia Park.

Departing March 4, 2019, the trip will start at Outpost Patagonia, which sits on the shores of the Jeinimeni River in the Aysén region of northern Patagonia, and over the course of 10 days head south exploring the rest of Jeinimeni National Park, the Gloria Mountains and Patagonia Park. “This is a really special trip, not only because travelers will experience Outpost Patagonia on its official inaugural season,” says Upscape founder Brian Pearson “but because we will traverse incredible landscapes that are currently undergoing important conservation efforts”. The conservation work spearheaded by Tompkins Conservation and CONAF include connecting the 200,000 acres in the Chacabuco Valley with the Jeinimeni Reserve and the Tamango Reserve further south, coming together to become one large 640,000-acre Patagonia National Park, allowing bi-national access across the border of Chile and Argentina and opening previously blocked wildlife corridors.

Outpost was launched earlier this year and opened with Outpost Patagonia and Outpost Maule, with Outpost Elqui soon to be announced for the total solar eclipse in 2019. Each site comes fully outfitted with private tents—the Loj by Crua—hotel-quality bedding, shared lounge dome and responsibly-handled tent restrooms, a private chef and guides. “Over the past few years as the Upscape team developed Outpost and tested various products, it was great to see their success with our products in the dramatic and unpredictable weather of places like Patagonia, the type of setting they’re made for,” says Crua founder Derek O’Sullivan.

To enter the sweepstakes, participants submit their name and email on the brands’ landing page. Additional engagement will take place across Instagram and Facebook channels over the course of the sweeps, as repeat registrations are accepted daily. Winners will be announced on November 30, 2018.
