ABOUT · Petru DMC Argentina
We work alongside travel agencies and travel advisors to design tailor-made programmes in Argentina, Chile and other Southern Cone destinations. Before developing a proposal, we listen to each client's needs and supervise every trip on the ground.
WHO WE ARE
Petru DMC began with something very simple: the wish to share our destinations in a close, careful and authentic way.
We are a family-run company and we treat travel as craft. Every proposal is thought through one at a time, with time, conversation and real attention to detail.
Petru DMC was founded in 2009 as a family project. Marta, Héctor and Nieves came together around one idea: to create a DMC that treated travel agencies the way they would have wanted to be treated. María joined the team in 2015.
We still work with the same outlook today: closeness, in-depth destination knowledge and supervised operations for travel agencies and travel advisors worldwide. From Argentina, we design and coordinate journeys across Argentina, Chile and wider combinations throughout the Southern Cone.
HOW WE WORK
Every programme starts from a blank page. We build around each client profile — pace, interests and budget. No off-the-shelf itineraries.
Our team follows every trip from Argentina, with real oversight and direct communication throughout the journey.
We work with hotels, guides and experiences we know personally and review on a continuous basis.
We work as an extension of your team. Strict B2B policy and one single point of contact from start to finish.
We deliberately stay small so every detail gets attention. Each file is supervised personally.
Weather changes, rescheduling or last-minute requests: we respond fast and with workable solutions.
THE TEAM
Petru DMC was founded in 2009 as a family project. Marta, Héctor and Nieves came together around one idea: to create a DMC that treated travel agencies the way they would have wanted to be treated. María joined the team in 2015. Héctor — the face and the voice of Petru at every industry trade show — passed away in 2020. His legacy still shapes the way we work: listen to the agency, understand each client's needs and turn an idea into a concrete, operable programme. Today we are eight people between Argentina and Spain. The team has grown; the way we do things has not.
Co-founder & Managing Director
With a background in management and tourism, Nieves keeps the wider view of the business. She cares less about org charts than about how each person fits the whole: in her reading, efficiency comes from putting people where they belong and looking after both the structure and the people who hold it up. Her role combines strategy, team leadership and commercial focus so Petru can grow without losing its family character.

Co-founder & Administration
More than fifty years in the travel industry. When something cannot be solved, Marta knows exactly who to call. She is the founding pillar of Petru and the living memory of a business that changes fast. Her experience, judgement and network remain a key reference for the team and for every important decision.

Sales Manager, Spanish market
Trained in communications. Patagonian by birth, based in Málaga by choice. María talks about Argentina with the familiarity of someone who grew up there and the perspective of someone who has lived in Europe for over a decade. That double view — from inside and from outside — is what she brings to every conversation with her Travel Agencies.

Head of Product & Sales, Latin America
A tourism graduate and a route finder. What sets Luciano apart is that he keeps looking: lesser-known corners, programmes nobody is building yet. When a Travel Agency asks for something different, he already knows where to go. At every trade show in the region he represents Petru with the same approach: spot opportunities, listen to the market and open new routes.

Sales, Europe
An adventurer by nature with a business background. That combination — management discipline and the eye of someone who travels without a script — is what he brings to every European Travel Agency he works with.

Operations, Spanish market
A tourism graduate: detail-driven, resourceful and always one step ahead. She knows the Argentine ground well and anticipates what may happen before it does. When an operation needs careful coordination, she has already thought three moves ahead.

Operations Support, Latin America
The team's artist and its technology enthusiast. Creative, versatile and practical, Fernando is key support for both operations and management. Always willing to step in wherever he is needed, and always with good energy.

Administration
Where others see scattered numbers on a spreadsheet, she sees structure. Behind every carefully built proposal there is equally careful administration — Daniela makes sure of that.
