Are you sure? SCL is considerably closer to GRU than LIM is, so that first/last leg is considerably shorter. (1626 vs 2160 miles)
EDITED TO ADD: I see you mention BOG but that's not the routing I am getting; both LIM and SCL origins connect to TK at GRU, using the link you supplied in the OP - at least for the outbound.

You may want to change the OP from Cyprus to Northern Cyprus or Turkey.
You will need a visa on arrival or in advance for entrance to Ercan. Furthermore, Istanbul to Ercan is treated as a domestic flight, meaning you must make an international-to-domestic transfer to Northern Cyprus.
Lastly, Ercan in Northern Cyprus is significant farther than the southern beach cities in Cyprus and requires a border-crossing to the EU side. Just a word of caution.

The trip from ECN to the Republic of Cyprus is not without risk. Technically, you can only enter on a day permit ... Now, there are reports of people having done extended visits to the south, but I wouldn't count on that ...
Also, and this is definitely the case, you'll have to walk through the demarkation zone, as cars (including taxis) can't pass.

Visas for Turkey can be bought online and are super simple if you decide to do a stopover in Turkey too if you're from the US or many other countries.
