If you plan on visiting more than a couple of countries in the region of South America, it will be more practical if you get a multi-country air pass. Get a Mercosur Air Pass. You can save a lot of money with this Option, rather than buying individual tickets.

Mercosur Air Passes lets you travel extensively on eight different airlines to Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay. Just like the rule of Eurail Pass' purchase outside of Europe, you can only purchase Mercosur Passes outside South America.
