delivers impact.
The continent that changes people. That is what incentive travel is supposed to do — and South America does it better than almost anywhere else. Privatised Corcovado at sunrise. A salt flat dinner at 3,600 metres. A shamanic ceremony in an Ecuadorian hacienda. A private asado under Patagonian skies. Moments that no hotel ballroom can replicate.
Gaston-Sacaze operates incentive and corporate group programmes across all eight destinations with our own permanent teams on the ground. One partner, one quality standard, full operational control — from initial brief to final debrief.
South America works for incentive travel because it delivers genuine surprise — even for groups who have done Europe, Asia and the Middle East. The scale is different. The landscapes are unlike anything else. The cultural depth is real.
And the exclusivity is still accessible — private access to iconic sites, remote lodges, experiences that cannot be replicated by the participant booking independently.
Rio’s high-energy urban luxury, private Corcovado, exclusive samba school experiences, Guanabara Bay at sunset. Our most-operated incentive destination — and the country where Gaston-Sacaze operates as the exclusive DMC partner for the Lufthansa City Center network.
World-class gastronomy in Lima, transformative Inca heritage, community immersion, luxury Amazon lodges. Our deepest operation — teams in Lima, Cusco, Arequipa and Puno.
Extraordinary diversity in a compact geography. Andean haciendas, shamanic ceremonies, indigenous markets, Galápagos for ultra-premium groups.
South America’s most unexpected incentive destination. Uyuni at sunrise, geysers at altitude, flamingo lagoons, stargazing from 4,500 metres. For groups seeking something genuinely unlike anything else.
Atacama’s lunar landscapes, Patagonian wilderness, world-class wine valleys. Ideal for wine & gastronomy programmes, adventure incentives and executive retreats.
Tango, Malbec, gaucho culture and the world’s most dramatic waterfalls. Urban sophistication in Buenos Aires combined with wild Patagonian spaces.
to be remembered.

Full control.
Most incentive houses working in South America deal with a patchwork of local suppliers — different contacts, different standards, different accountability for each country. Gaston-Sacaze is different.
We operate with our own permanent teams in all eight destinations. We work with both specialist incentive houses and corporate travel managers across a wide range of sectors — automotive, aviation, pharmaceuticals, FMCG, financial services, technology and more.
- Single point of contact throughout — from brief to debrief
- Consistent quality standard across all destinations
- Direct supplier relationships built over 28 years
- Full operational control — no subcontracting of core services
- On-the-ground teams available before, during and after the programme
- Experience across group sizes from executive retreats to 150+ pax events
