You can use the Lan south America pass to price up the flights - or you can put in a multi itinerary on the site as well. The airpass version comes out at GBP 471 (priced in GBP because I'm based in the UK).

THere's al;so the oneworld visit south america pas, but from T&Cs "Available for sale only to residents of countries outside South America. This fare must be booked before departure from country of origin, and in conjunction with return travel to South America on oneworld member airlines."

im out of miles.. mainly...
the thing is LAN isn't giving any award flight availability to BA (where i have availability)
my question is about the "one world south america pass" how do i get it? and can i get either the LAN south america pass or the one world one, within 14 days of travel?

The oneworld south america pass doesn't mention an advance puchasae restriction, but does mention you have to buy it outside South america, before you fly in. You can contact any of the oneworld airlines to book it.

I see an overnight bus trip in your future.... 
The good news is that the buses are VERY comfortable, with the Cama Ejecutivo having 180 degree reclining seats and even a dinner service. (Pretend like it's a business class overnight plane flight)
http://www.plataforma10.com/ search from Retiro in Buenos Aires to Iguazu in the Misiones province and back. You could even save a couple nights in hotels that way.

As I recall, you just need an international booking code, any code really, there seems to be no check on dates, names, etc.
