See below for the percentage of Latter-day Saints by country in South America as of year-end 2021. You can click on the table to make it larger. Membership is estimated for the Falkland Islands as the Church has not published membership data for the Falkland Islands since 2013.

 

Potential Temples in South America

The majority of the stakes in South America were created between 1990 and 2000. In the past eight years, the majority of the stakes created were primarily in four countries: Brazil, Colombia, Peru, and Venezuela. Although membership and congregation growth rates have slowed since then, membership is becoming more mature and "seasoned." Once this occurs, the number of temples in South America should increase dramatically.


Above I posted a map of South America with the yellow dots representing existing temples, green dots representing temples which are very likely to be announced, and purple dots representing temples which are not as likely to be announced as soon as the green dot temples.
