Long time lurker, first time commenter.
I've been trying to lockdown this fare, but I'm struggling to find a route that doesn't take me into both Argentina and Brazil (and thus subjects me to $300+ in entrance/visa fees). I've tried from both JFK and MIA (no price difference and about the same travel cost for me from ATL). I'd like to stop in two other cities in addition to IGU (planning just 2 nights and a full day there), such as SCL, GIG, GRU, or EZE/AEP but can't seem to get it to work. Any thoughts?
The best I've found is MIA-SCL (2 nights, 1 day)-EZE/AEP (4 nights) - IGR (2 nights)-IGU (extra Brazil fee)-MIA (with overnight LIM layover). This is in October.
Thanks!

Which OTA are you using? When navigating Orbitz, it's best to punch each segment into the multi city tool individually, even the short flights into/out of IGU.

Just managed to book another ex-JFK with stopovers in SCL and GIG, so this is still alive and well.
With a 6pm arrival in IGU, one full subsequent day, and an 11am departure on the following day (2 nights total), does anyone have any advice on how to see both sides of the falls? I read somewhere that the Argentine side opens at 8am, and the Brazil side closes at 6pm. Would it be feasible to take the jungle/boat ride on the Argentine side in the morning, and do a short tour for pictures in Brazil until 6pm closing?

Here are the hours:
Brazil - 9am - 5pm
Argentina - 8am - 6pm
Bird park in brazil - 8:30 - 5 pm
seems pretty ridiculous and I doubt I'll be able to fit it all in. Seems like the best strategy would to be ready to go on the Argentina side at 8 am.

Ended up with a stopover in Buenos Aires, then visiting IGU on the way back.
Whole itinerary is:
LAX-LIM-SCL-EZE(stop)-GIG-IGU(stop)-LIM-LAX
I'll be playing FF# roulette with the gate agents, hoping to credit to AS wherever possible, though the longhauls will have to go to AA.
I'm running a marathon in Mar del Plata on November 30th. The argentine peso is weak and continuing to drop, to the point where even the government is raising the official exchange rate. I'll definitely be bringing my USD @:-)

See my post #54 above...I managed to fit in long day layovers in SCL, four nights in GIG, and one night in GRU for $570. Most of us have been routing via LIM or SCL then onto GIG or GRU. The Argentina connections seem to be in the minority; in fact, for the mid-November dates I was searching, I didn't see any EZE/AEP connections in the $500-$600 range.

If you're looking for stopovers, you can still easily find itineraries on webjet.com. I've successfully priced out stopovers in SCL, GIG, LIM, MVD, EZE, GRU, BOG in the high 500 low $600 range from NYC and LAX.

Hi from Sheraton @ IGU. Absolutely happy that I jumped on this deal and was wondering how long I should wait for LAN to credit my flights to my AA account? Hopefully all of you enjoy Rio (was there for 3 days and def not enough!!)
