The Rhea species of ostrich is found in South America.
There is really no such bird that exists in South America. There is, however, a bird that looks like an ostrich that lives in Australia: that bird is called an Emu. However, a flightless bird that lives in South America is called a Rhea, also known as a Nandu.
There is no bird that looks like an ostrich related to the emu. The ostrich (from Africa), rhea (South America) and the cassowary (northern Australia and Papua New Guinea) are all Flightless Birds in the same category of "ratites" as the emu. Ratites have wings but the bones in their chests do not have the capacity for flight muscles, which is what a bird needs to fly.

The flight time will vary depending on where in America you will be flying to. However, the approximate flight time is 18 hours, 4 minutes.
