Since 2001, Southbound Travel has been Chile's premier destination management company (DMC), providing comprehensive DMC services across all Chilean destinations—from the Atacama Desert to Patagonia's glaciers. As your dedicated Chile DMC partner, we combine over two decades of local expertise with 24/7 on-ground support to deliver exceptional travel experiences for groups, MICE events, and incentive programs.
Since 2001, we've been providing destination management services in Chile, building an unparalleled network of suppliers, guides, and local partners throughout the country. Our longevity as a Chile DMC means we know which hotels deliver, which guides are exceptional, and how to handle the unexpected.
Unlike regional DMCs, we cover all of Chile: Atacama Desert, Santiago, Wine Regions, Chilean Lake District, Chiloé, Carretera Austral, Patagonia (Torres del Paine), Easter Island, and even Antarctica expeditions. This nationwide reach allows us to create comprehensive multi-region programs under one Chile DMC contract.
We are Travelife certified, demonstrating our commitment to sustainable and responsible tourism practices. As a Chile DMC, we prioritize environmental protection, cultural respect, and community benefit in all our programs—critical for corporate clients with ESG requirements.
Our operational headquarters in Puerto Varas provides round-the-clock support for all programs. When weather closes roads in Patagonia or a client needs emergency assistance in Atacama, our Chile DMC operations team responds immediately with local solutions.
Member of LATA (Latin American Travel Association) and ATTA (Adventure Travel Trade Association), we maintain the highest industry standards for DMC services. Our partnerships ensure quality control and provide additional resources for complex programs.
Our network of expert guides speak English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, and more. All guides are licensed, highly trained in their specialties (natural history, wine, culture, adventure), and passionate about sharing Chile's wonders. This expertise elevates every Chile DMC program we deliver.
As a comprehensive Chile destination management company, we provide expert DMC services across all major Chilean destinations:
Our nationwide presence as a Chile DMC allows us to create seamless multi-destination itineraries—from Atacama's deserts to Patagonia's glaciers—all managed by a single, trusted partner.
A DMC (Destination Management Company) in Chile is a professional services company with extensive local knowledge, expertise, and resources specializing in the design and implementation of events, activities, tours, transportation, and program logistics across Chile. As your Chile DMC partner, we handle all ground arrangements, accommodations, local transportation, guides, activities, and unique experiences throughout Chile, Patagonia, Atacama, and beyond.
Since 2001, Southbound has been Chile's leading DMC with unparalleled local expertise across all regions from Atacama to Patagonia. We are Travelife certified for sustainable tourism, members of LATA and ATTA, and have an on-ground operations team available 24/7. Our comprehensive DMC services include group tours, MICE events, incentive travel, and FIT programs with multilingual guides and complete logistical support.
As a full-service Chile DMC, we cover all major destinations: Atacama Desert, Santiago and Central Chile, Chilean Wine Regions (Casablanca, Colchagua, Maipo), Chilean Lake District, Chiloé Island, Carretera Austral, Chilean Patagonia (Torres del Paine, Puerto Natales, Punta Arenas), Easter Island (Rapa Nui), and Antarctica expeditions. Our DMC network extends throughout the entire country.
Our Chile DMC services include: accommodation sourcing and management, ground transportation (coaches, vans, private vehicles), professional multilingual guides, activity and excursion planning, restaurant reservations and catering, event planning and execution, venue sourcing for MICE events, logistics coordination, 24/7 on-ground support, travel insurance coordination, emergency assistance, customized itinerary design, and budget management. We handle every aspect of your Chile travel program.
For group tours and MICE events, we recommend booking 6-12 months in advance, especially for peak season (November-March in Patagonia, June-September in ski areas). This ensures availability of preferred accommodations and allows time for customization. For Torres del Paine and Easter Island, even earlier booking (12-18 months) is advised due to limited capacity. However, our experienced DMC team can also accommodate shorter lead times when possible.
Yes, MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, Events) is a core specialty of our Chile DMC services. We provide complete event management including venue sourcing (from modern Santiago conference centers to unique Patagonian lodges), audiovisual equipment, catering, team-building activities, gala dinners in extraordinary locations, spouse programs, pre/post-conference tours, and all logistical coordination. Our Chile MICE expertise covers events from 10 to 500+ attendees.
Let our expert Chile destination management team create an unforgettable program for your group, MICE event, or incentive travel experience. Contact us today for a customized proposal.
