Why Materia exists

We are María Natalia
and Juan Andrés.

Materia Travel House started from a conviction we both share: extraordinary trips are never improvised. They are designed, curated, and operated with the same care you bring to the rest of your life.

We built Materia for the Latin American traveler who already travels well and knows what they want. Someone looking for a real advisor. Someone who understands how they want to travel, gets involved from the first message, and takes responsibility for the result.

Materia isn't an agency. We work the way a design studio does. Every trip is built from the ground up, to measure, and delivered with judgment.

The network behind Materia

We've built a network of top-tier contacts and operators across Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East. People who understand what luxury actually means, who have spent years operating in their destinations, and who can open doors that simply aren't available to most.

That network has been built over years through the world's most important luxury travel fairs, ILTM Cannes, ILTM São Paulo, L.E/Miami and Pure, among others, where the finest operators in the world come together.

A good local operator does much more than arrange transfers. They are the person who knows the chef at the restaurant that doesn't take reservations, who secures access to a temple before it opens, who knows which season is worth it and which to avoid. Having that network across multiple regions is what allows Materia to operate to the same standard in Kyoto, Marrakech or Patagonia.

How we work

Every trip is a project of its own.
It begins with a conversation.

The first conversation
This is where it starts. Who you are, how you like to travel, what you're hoping to live, what the budget allows. Nothing worth designing comes before this.
Designing the itinerary
From here, the trip takes shape. Every hotel, every experience, every transfer, chosen with the same standard of judgment that runs through the rest.
On the ground
Once you're traveling, we're there. Anything that needs adjusting, anything unexpected, we take care of it.
Let's talk

Let's begin.

Tell us what you have in mind. From there, we design your trip.
