It's between Sao Paulo and Buenos Aires. BA has the advantage of geographical location, height and semi-iconic scrapers. Sampa has quantity. Both have collections of scrapers from every period.

To me, it's

1) Sao Paulo
2) Buenos Aires

Lima has some interesting scrapers but they lack height!

Sao Paulo because of the number of skyscrapers, if you look at it from the air it looks like row after row of skyscrapers that stretch out forever. Overall i'm not very impressed with South American skylines, i don't think they have anybuildings that are super tall or iconic, all them look and feel the same, no originality or buildnigs that really stick out.

As of 2006?

Definitely Many Brazilian cities AND Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The others come way behind...
