What class are you looking at purchasing? Jumping on a South African Airways flight across to JNB and purchasing your OWE originating in JNB will save you about $US900 in economy and $3000 in business and first compared to the prices ex Brasil. Given a GRU-JNB return costs around $1000, if you are flying economy you don't save but if Business or First its worth looking at.
It would also allow you to split your RTW into 2 distinct trips if that interested you eg GRU-JNB-Asia-Australia/NZ-SAm-GRU and GRU-Europe-JNB-GRU

Pricing seems strange; you have a LONE5.
ex GRU has a base cost of USD3900.
ex USA has a base cost of USD5100.
Are you sure you were booking a xONEx?
Until you fly the first segment, the booking agency must make any changes. After that, any oneworld entity can.

The bad is the price. For my itinerary LAN charges US$ 2.960,00 total and AA wants US$ 4.400 plus taxes (the guy gave-me the same price i can get on the OW website)
.....
Just a dumb question: if I buy the ticket with, lets say, LAN, and want to change the date of one flight, that must be done with LAN or I could use another airline, like AA?

AA will not change your flights etc. if the ticket has been issued by LA and it is not an AA flight.
