Hi, there is no requirement for a carnet in South America as far as I'm aware. I never needed one anyway. You just get a temporary import paper for the bike at each border go through.

Ah! Esta mas claro!

Do you have an Automobile Association in Chile? In UK we have RAC who issue carnets here. You probably have something similar in Chile.
