~2 weeks travel to South America itinerary ideas

I started the process of planning for my next visit to South America in February 2017. My preference and passion is to prioritize nature over cities.

My initial plan is to fly to Buenos Aires, spend 3 nights there.
I am then thinking of flying to Santiago, spend 3 nights there, visit Valparaiso for a day trip
After that, plans are to fly to Easter island for 3 nights
And then fly to Lima, spend a day in Lima, visit Machu Picchu (4-5 nights).
Fly out of Lima

I think this is maximum I can do without being too rushed, however:
- I can easily reverse the trip - would you visit Machu Picchu first or last stop of your trip?
- any stops or side trips recommended?
- Would you recommend to go to Montevideo while in Buenos Aires for at least a day?
