South America and the Caribbean/Central America are different zones/regions, so you can't do it as a return award. You could do two one way awards.
From the BAEC T & C's:
13.15. Award tickets are subject to IATA fare construction rules. Travel itineraries for Award bookings may start and end at different airports within the same country, or in different countries, provided the two airports are in the same zone. Outbound journeys may terminate at a different airport to the airport where the return journey starts provided the two airports are within the same zone. The different zones are listed in the redemption mileage calculator table on ba.com.
