So far my highlights have been;

 • Galapagos Islands, Ecuador
 • Rio de Janeiro, Brazil - "Cidade Maravilhosa" - the marvellous city.
 • Iguacu/Iguazu Falls, Argentina, Brazil
 • Ilha Grande, Brazil


I've only been to Brazil and Ecuador (not counting brief trips across the boarder) - but I've heard so many great things about Patagonia, Peru, Columbia that I think there many many more highlights in this stunning continent.

I have only been travelling the Esat coast and highlights for me were:

The Pantanal in Brazil for the wild life and remote experience
Iguacu Falls in Brazil and Argentina for the views and it really looks as good as on paper
Buenos Aires in Argentina for the excellent steaks and red wine
Cartagena in Colombia for being a beautifil city and its nice people
Santa Fe in Venezuela for the beuatiful sea, loads of wild dolphins and very nice people

enjoy your trip

- Chilean and Argentine Lake District.
- Northwest Argentina - Tilcara, Salta, Cafayate.
- Torres del Paine, Chile.
- Fitzroy and Torres, Argentina.
- Perito Moreno Glacier, Argentina.

Lots more info is on my blogs if you want to have a look.
Good luck planning!

I've only been to Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia (hoping to make it to Colombia this summer) but so far my highlights would have to be:
Galapagos Islands, Ecuador - TB: Galapagos!!!!!
Laguna Quilatoa, Ecuador - TB: Here comes the sun! (The photos really do not do justice to how beautiful it is)
Machu Picchu, Peru - TB: Machu Picchu (in the mist!)
Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia - TB: A pinch of salt
Have fun!
