One-way flights to South America seem to be spendy--almost the cost of a round-trip.
One option is to book a round-trip and push the return date to as far into the future as you can go. Then, at some point after August, change the ticket to the following July--most tickets are (AFAIK) good for one year after date of travel, so if you book a return flight now for travel next March (2015), you would technically have until March of 2016 to use the value of the ticket.
There will be a change fee for this (varies depending on the carrier), but even with a $300 change fee, the total savings is probably cheaper than booking two one-ways or possibly even one one-way and a later round-trip. Just an idea, anyway. Check that this is possible before committing to my advice, though!
