My example would be useless to you since it can't be replicated, but still.
A few years ago, before AA killed stopovers outside the US, I took an AA flight from JFK to IGU with a 3-day stay in Buenos Aires. From IGU took an overnight bus to Curitiba, then the train down to a beautiful little coastal town (don't remember the name). Then onto the bus to visit Blumenau during Oktoberfest, then a few days in gorgeous Balmenario Camboriu before another bus trip to Porto Allegro and flying back to JFK. That was one of the most exhilarating (and exhausting) trips in my life.
