A Latin American Luxury DMC Network
We Partner With
WhereNext Travel is a luxury Destination Management Company (DMC) specializing in custom travel throughout Colombia, Peru, and Latin America.
We design and operate tailor-made journeys through our locally registered Destination Management Companies in Colombia and Peru.
We partner with luxury travel advisors, tour operators, hospitality brands, and experience-led travel companies seeking knowledgeable local teams, reliable on-the-ground execution, and responsive support throughout the region.
Operated by Local Teams
WhereNext Travel is a growing network of regionally co-owned and operated, locally registered companies in Colombia and Peru. Our local teams manage each journey from the first itinerary draft through on-the-ground guest support.
We believe the best itineraries are designed by people who genuinely live in the destinations they represent. Local teams build stronger supplier relationships, solve problems faster, and remain directly accountable for the guest experience.
Our parent company, WhereNext Group, is based in Seattle, USA.
Storytelling Shapes How We Design Travel
Less brochure. More human. WhereNext Travel began as an award-winning storytelling and destination marketing company before evolving into a luxury DMC.
We think like storytellers as much as trip designers, creating journeys that introduce guests to people, places, and ideas they couldn’t find on their own.
What We Do
We help our partners:
Design tailor-made luxury journeys across Colombia, Peru, and Latin America.
Operate trips through locally registered Destination Management Companies (DMCs).
Coordinate hotels, guides, transportation, and experiences on the ground.
Support guests before, during, and throughout every journey.

How It Began
WhereNext Travel grew from the personal journeys of its founders, Angelika Köhler and Gregg Bleakney.
Angelika left Germany, planning to spend a year in Latin America. In Colombia, she found a new home, mastered salsa, and built a family.
Gregg moved from a career in track and field to tech, then set off on an 18,500-mile solo bicycle ride from Alaska to Argentina. He went on to build one of Latin America’s leading creative agencies.
Both experienced moments that changed everything. Neither returned “home.”
What they found—on very different paths—was the same truth: the best journeys make us laugh until our stomachs hurt, introduce us to new people and places, bring quiet in wild landscapes, and invite us to grow through challenge.
Today, WhereNext designs cinematic travel that shifts how guests see the world, and pushes them to return home (if they choose to) a little different than when they left.
Just like the trips that rewrote the story of Angelika and Gregg.
