Yes, I think it is. The lates version of the CX rules says:
"Intermediate surface sectors permitted at passenger's expense. Surface sectors are counted as one stopover. When continents are crossed by surface, the stopover may be counted in either continent."
So it IS allowed to take a surface segment between continents.

Some I'm considering --
Arrive Cuzco, train to Machu Piccu and then to Titicaca and La Paz Bolivia by Train/Ferry. Either fly straight to Santiago Chile from there, or continue overland to Arica and fly from there. (Anyone try Arica)

In Chile, the NAVIMAG ferry from Puerto Natales (nearest is LA city is Punta Arenas) to Puerto Mont is brilliant. It's a RORO freight ferry with passenger accommodation. A fantastic way to see some of the most beautiful scenery in the world.
From Punta Arenas, LA used to fly to the Falkland Islands (MPN). This service is on again and off again - depends on the politics between Chile and UK. Worth it if you can get it.
The "continent" of the Falklands can be debated by airlines. Originally, QF said it was part of Europe ! Eventually they saw the lunacy of this suggestion.
