Adam,

If you want connectivity to Latin America (inc. S. America)
from the 
US (LA & NY),  then you probably want to be at NOA in
Miami. That is 
a Terremark facility, but lots of carriers are there. Look
at their 
carrier customer list and you will see all of the carriers
connected 
to them in Miami:

We have a few connections which go through NOA and we have
found the 
pricing to get high speed circuits to NY and LA from Miami
to be very 
reasonable. Good luck with your project.

Most people (including the facility itself) call it
"NotA". 

Terremark runs an IX in Miami with lots of "south of
the border"  
networks, as well as the one in São Paulo, which is probably
the one  
you found.

Other than that, there's another IX in São Paulo just a few
miles from  
the Terremark facility with some additional, as well as some
 
duplicate, carriers.

Besides São Paulo, I do not know any IXes in SA with lots of
good  
peering, but would love to be educated.
