Should be able to do something like this however (availability dependent of course) BOS-CLT-GRU(stop)-JNB (US/SA) and then SA/US mix back to BOS. This itinerary is well below the MPM+25% and just over the actual MPM.

Then book a return from GRU via SCL with LAN. Personally, rather than use cash, I would book a return award in J for just 30k.. not bad for 10hrs flying time on flat beds.

Or alternatively BOS-PHL-MIA-LIM(stop)-GRU-JNB (US/AV/SA)
