Route notes
Why this routing works
This 4-week itinerary is structured as a northbound South America routing from Denver to Santiago, then onward through Bolivia and Colombia before returning to Denver. The sequence keeps the long-haul crossing at the start and end of the trip, with shorter regional flights linking the interior segments in between.
A key feature of this ticket is the open-jaw in Chile: the trip flies into Santiago and resumes from Calama, with that section handled overland. That setup allows the route to move efficiently from northern Chile into Uyuni and then continue onward to La Paz without backtracking to the original arrival city.
From a ticketing standpoint, this is a multi-stop itinerary rather than a simple round-trip, combining one transcontinental outbound, several intra-South America flight sectors, and a final return to Denver in business class. For a February departure within a 4-week window, the routing is paced to fit multiple stops without adding unnecessary flight legs.
The final sector from La Paz to Bogota before the return to Denver gives the trip a clean finishing sequence, avoiding the need to retrace the Bolivia portion. Overall, the route is built around directional flow, an overland break where it makes sense geographically, and a straightforward return to the U.S. from the last stop.
