End of the Hunt

Curaçao's long-running Hidden Treasure promotion came to a close this week, as 10 finalists scrambled around the island on a quest to claim the ultimate booty - a cool $500,000 grand prize. Earlier this year we blogged about the campaign hosted by the Curaçao Tourism Board (CTB), which put 70 trips up for grabs and ultimately gave 10 lucky wannabe-hunters the chance to visit Curaçao and participate in the big race. The frenzied two-day event culminated with California mother of four, Michelle Salge, unlocking the treasure chest and taking home the half-mil yesterday. So congrats to Michelle...and I'm jealous.

The official race may be over for the year, but you can still plan your very own island treasure hunt...just check out our low-season travel specials and hot deals to cash in.
