Our Verdict
It’s a bit of a strange time to visit South America, but any chance is a good chance in my opinion. Delta is quite weird in that they don’t publish an award chart, but they still have these award sales. These sales are cheaper than the lowest they ever price awards though, so that’s why we post these deals. Normally these flights would be 22,500 – 30,000 miles one way, so this is actually a significant savings.

“It’s a bit of a strange time to visit South America”
What do we busy people need to be aware of?
Strange for northern residents maybe, but this is the tail end of summer & travel season in the southern hemisphere, so a great time to catch good weather and still avoid peak crowds.
The period of travel (August to October) is late winter and early spring in Argentina, Chile, and southern Brazil. For Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia the time of year shouldn’t make much difference.
