Despegar (Decolar in Brazil) is the leading online travel agency in Latin America, selling flights, hotels, activities, car rentals, insurance and vacation packages across the region. Its Despegar B2B platform exposes a partner API ecosystem so travel agencies and resellers can integrate hotel, flight and activity search, pre-booking, payment, booking and after-sales (cancellations, rescheduling, special requests) directly into their own systems, backed by geo/common-assets reference data and an event/notification channel. APIs are versioned under /v3, authenticated with a per-client API key (x-apikey header) with separate test and production keys, protected with mTLS for B2B transactions, and now also reachable through published Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers for AI agents. This profile was enriched from Despegar's public developer documentation at api-docs.despegar.com.
