GRU-EZE-BOG is really a routing?
I was looking for BA award tickets for Sao Paulo to Bogota, and found the above routing GRU-EZE-BOG available on many days. There is also a nonstop but much less available.
Has anyone actually flown this route? It's usually open in Business Class so might be reasonably pleasant on a 767-300. Still a long day!
Fares on the route are US$600+ in Y .
Thanks for any info!

It is a feasible routing, although not the most logical one. LATAM operates both the GRU-EZE and EZE-BOG services, so there may be a feasible connection at Ezeiza
The obvious downside is the layover and the total travel time.
The upside is that there's a lot more flights on both legs if you take the longer routing, so more schedule choices for you... IIRC, the GRU-BOG nonstop is only once a day.

LATAM Airlines Brazil got recently the fifth freedom of air, so they can fly to EZE and BOG on the same flight.
The lower price might be an oversight of Revenue Management. If you are willing to have a longer flight than the nonstop, then go for it
