Hi Juan,
At this stage, you should focus on your apps. If your grades are solid from a reputed university, your academic profile is in pretty good shape! South Americans tend to have lower GMAT scores on average and adcoms understand that standardized tests don't play a prominent role in your education system. You've crossed a major hurdle by landing a score that starts with a "7". Would a higher score help? Of course. But there are opportunity costs.
At first glance, it seems your score is good enough. But that's based on high level demographics. I'd have to know a bit more about your profile, goals, etc.
But congrats on a great GMAT score!

I'm gonna go with what Bhavik wrote here...
But I also wanted to add a few questions that might change the way you approach things:
1-3. Is it better for you to apply this year or next from a personal perspective? Professional? Strategic?
4. If you DID decide to retake, what would you evaluate as your chances to do better? How easy or hard would it be? How high could you go?
5. If you don't apply this year, what else would you do? How would your career progress?
I'd take at least all of these things into consideration before taking a final decision,
Best,
JF
