Does anyone have a list of the airports in South America that oneworld flyes to?

Thank you,

The LAN route map on their website lists most of their destinations although it doesn't seem to be entirely accurate. LAN has a seasonal route SCL-USH (Ushuaia) which operates something like Oct-Mar and they fly SCL-PUQ (Punta Arenas) all year round. Both are in the far south of Patagonia.

If you're looking for a non-oneworld alternative, I believe AR fly to El Calafate and Ushuaia from EZE (which you can get to using LAN, of course) but I think it's reasonably expensive.
