I've spent quite a bit of time in South America, and I love the place. I don't know where to start to be honest in recommending places to visit, but one thing I can say is it's a stunningly beautiful part of the world that is full of unexpected surprises.
Arequipa in Puru, the lake district of Argentina, the Torres del Piane national park in Chile, whale watching in Cape Valdez, the salt flats of Boliva, the Amazon rain forest, Beunos Aires.......
It's difficult recommending somewhere to visit when a single area like Patagonia is half the size of Europe.
It's a bit like someone asking 'I'm visiting Europe, where are the best places to visit?'
What I'll add is you will be enchanted wherever you go. It is a wonderful part of the world, full of beauty, stunning scenery and friendly people.
Just go and visit the place. I can't recommend it enough. I'm sorry I can't suggest anything specific but that's because wherever you go, you'll have memories that will live with you for a lifetime.
Don't take British pounds with you when you go though, take US dollars. You'll find it more or less impossible to change sterling.
