One hotel in Peru is trying to win the cuteness prize for best Valentine's day promotion ever.

JW Marriott el Convento Cusco in Cusco, Peru, has a resident baby alpaca named Panchita who visits the hotel every day with her human friend for meet-and-greets and lots of selfies with guests.

Cue: the "aws."

Panchita's adorable and JW Marriott el Convento Cusco knows it, which is why they're offering Facetime Valentine's Day grams to a lucky few who request one!

The process is easy. All you have to do is fill out the form on a website that JW Marriott el Convento Cusco has set up, called lovepanchita.com.

Then enter the name of the person you want to send a Panchita V-Day gram to. This can be your significant other, family member, best friend or whoever you want to show love to this Valentine's Day.

You'll also need to explain the person's relationship to you, provide their telephone number with country and area code and provide a personalized message.

Recipients will be selected at random and will receive their "Alpaca-gram" on February 14.

All requests must be submitted by 5 p.m. PST on February 12, and only one entry is available per person. The telephone numbers must be within the U.S., too.

Time is running out, so submit fast! You're Valentine won't forget this special V-day gift from JW Marriott el Convento Cusco.
