AGENT GUIDE: How to give your clients the best possible South America experience

AGENT GUIDE: How to give your clients the best possible South America experience

From the snowcapped Andes and the Amazon rainforest, to the culture clad streets of Buenos Aires and Rio, South America is a treasure trove of rich experiences not to be missed.

And, with many of its most popular destinations still enforcing social distancing requirements, there’s no better time to visit hotspots like Machu Picchu than right now, before the pre-COVID level crowds return.

When it comes to booking a trip to South America, however, travellers and agents alike can easily become overwhelmed by logistics and the sheer volume of bucket list adventures spread across the vast continent.

Luckily, after almost 20 years in the South American travel space, Chimu knows a thing or two about how best to tackle South America.

Just last month, the tour operator overhauled its entire South American offering to fit its new signature style range of premium itineraries.

Chimu has focused on refining and simplifying its itineraries over the past eight months to provide the best possible travel experience for your clients with authentic and highly-rated hotels and exclusive Chimu features to showcase the history, culture and cuisine of the region.

Despite the challenges of the past two years, Chimu has also managed to retain all of its destination specialists who each have at least five years of experience in designing South American travel itineraries.

They’ve made the most of closed borders, taking the time to brainstorm, assess sales data, and collaborate with Chimu’s local offices on the ground in South America.

The result has been an against-the-grain approach to tour planning that reduces the impact of mass tourism and delivers a more authentic and meaningful experience.

Departure dates are flexible and guaranteed, backed by support from Chimu’s local offices who arrange all of the logistics, including private airport transfers, English-speaking support and sightseeing guides.

Your clients can make the trip their own by combining itineraries or booking extra add-ons like a Lake Titicaca Extension or Amazon River Cruise alongside Signature Peru.

With LATAM Airlines Sydney – Santiago route returning last month and the promise of more routes to come, South America is ready and waiting to welcome back visitors and there’s no better time to book than now.

Travelling with Chimu Adventures makes it easy to explore highlights such as Machu Picchu, Patagonia, or Rio de Janeiro, offering daily guaranteed departures, on the ground support, and experienced destination specialists to help with all stages of the pre-departure process.
