This is the list of the top six.
In the continent of South America:
From greatest to least:
#1 Argentina
(% is how much Jews per capita, and the number is how many Jews total)1% 395,379
#2 Brazil
0.051% 95,125
#3 Venezuela
0.1% 25,375
#4 Chile
0.131% 20,900
#5 Colombia
0.008% 3,436
#6 Peru
0.01% 2,792
All this is very ambigous so I will give you the top countries in Central and South America compared to the world.
First number = Rank in world, next is country, then population of Jews, then precentage of Jews in the country, and then precentage of total Jews in the world in the country.
5 Argentina 395,379 1% 2.71%
10 Brazil 95,125 0.051% 0.652%
15 Mexico 53,101 0.05% <0.5%
20 Uruguay 30,743 0.9% <0.5%
22 Venezuela 25,375 0.1% <0.5%
24 Chile 20,900 0.131% <0.5%
32 Panama 10,029 0.33% <0.5%
44 Colombia 3,436 0.008% <0.5%
47 Peru 2,792 0.01% <0.5%
48 Costa Rica 2,409 0.06% <0.5%
50 Estonia 1,818 0.136% <0.5%

I should note this has nothing to do with the converso population. Those numbers are really not known.

Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Mexico and Puerto Rico by my account, but there was a Puerto Rican "Inquisition" and many of these Jews fled to Costa Rica.
