 <\/p>\n

One of the best things about American Airlines is the ability to use only 20,000 AAdvantage miles to travel in Economy class from North America to certain countries of South America such as Bolivia, Paraguay, Chile, Uruguay, and Argentina. 20,000 American Airlines miles can only be used during the Off-peak season which is also called a MileSAAver Off-Peak Award. The off-peak seasonal dates are defined as \u201cMar. 1 – May 31; Aug. 16 – Nov. 30\u201d.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re wondering about Brazil, I recently wrote a separate article for it since it contained so many different cities.<\/a><\/p>\n

I know a lot of people already have plans booked for this fall, so I am only going to focus on next year\u2019s dates which are Mar. 1 \u2013 May 31. As of today, the award calendar only goes up to mid-May.<\/p>\n

I have only been to Santiago, Chile and would love to one day visit La Paz, Montevideo, Asuncion, and Buenos Aires.<\/p>\n

So which countries in South America have the best award availability for only 20,000 AA miles?<\/p>\n
