Why are LATAM ticket prices so high?

Why are LATAM tickets so extremely expensive?
For example SCL-LIM in business class.
Avianca is already quite expensive for this 4-5 hour flight, at about 1,000 USD. But LATAM charges twice that amount (granted, it's A321 vs. B787, but still).
(Ok, I just realized you can cut the price in half by adding a return flight, what the heck?)

Are there really so many people in South America who can pay these prices?
Or is there a trick to get a "local" fare?

I am interested in flying Rio-Iguazu-Buenos Aires-Santiago de Chile-Lima, and at least the SCL-LIM part I would like to fly in business class... But the prices are really putting me off. :/
