AA only flies DFW-UIO 3 days a week Wed/Fri/Sat. Never seems to work out for me. MIA is the main hub to UIO with 2 flights a day but getting to MIA from PDX is a real pain requiring a red-eye in a 321 on AA. AS doesn't fly to MIA just FLL. Splitting an itinerary is too dangerous when it comes to IRROPS like yesterday for me.
Flying through LIM is a possibility but pricing is usually like $5k crazy and you have to overnight in LIM
If your main issue is the getting down to UIO then again I would consider UA/Copa out of SFO. I take UA through IAH as I don't want to go through PTY (never have and it may be ok I'll let others respond to that). Copa F class is supposedly actually pretty good and relative to UA cheap but again that is not first hand knowledge as I use UA. They have at least a couple of flights a day with one around 10am (and some latter) so you don't have to knock yourself out by getting to PDX for a 5am flight into IAH and wait hours. Check it out.
