Best use of 60,000 miles within South America?

Hello to everybody!

I was not sure on "where" to post this message and I ended up writing it here. I hope I am in the right section of FlyerTalk Forums.

I have a couple of questions.

The first is:

I am a StarGold and have little more than 60,000 Star Alliance miles on my account with Aegean (A3). I am based in GRU (Sao Paulo, Brazil). I would like to spend these miles in the best possible way for 2 round trip tickets (me and my wife) here in South America.

For now, I found an interesting flight from GRU to SCL (Santiago - Chile) but I am open to better or more interesting proposals/locations.

Second question is:

I used a tool offered by Copa to look for possibilities to redeem miles (here is the link: https://bookings.copaair.com/CMGS/Ai...=CMRED&lang=en) and I found a direct flight GRU-SCL. The tool say: TOTAL: 25,000 miles + $67.24 for each roundtrip ticket but, looking at details, the flight is operated by GOL (G3) that is not a member of Star Alliance.... so... is it a system error or I will be able to redeem Star Alliance miles with GOL too?

Thanks for you help!
