Other than Juan Diego, are there any Saints who were in South America in the 16th century?
It seems like some of those missionaries who went in right after Cortez must have been Saints, but I can't come up with anyone in particular.

Mexico

Peru

An Army in Battle Array - St. Rose of Lima by Sister Mary Jean Dorcy (oop) (Dorcy Biography)
Martin de Porres, Saint of the New World by Ellen Tarry (oop) (Vision Books)
Saint Martin de Porres, The Story of the Little Doctor of Lima, Peru by Mary Fabyan Windeatt
Saint Martin de Porres: Humble Healer by Elizabeth Marie DeDomenico (Encounter the Saints)
St. Rose of Lima, the Story of the First Canonized Saint of the Americas by Mary Fabyan Windeatt

South America
Saint Francis Solano, Wonderworker of the New World and Apostle of Argentina and Peru by Mary Fabyan Windeatt
The source for all of books listed above is Reading the Saints by Janet McKenzie. I did not include St. Joseph's picture books that were listed, nor did I include coloring books listed.
Stories From the Americas by Frank Henius (oop) fits your setting but not necessarily your period...but I thought I'd include it anyway just in case. It's a lovely book and contains a beautiful version of the story of Our Lady of Altagracia (Our Holy Lady of Good Grace - Dominican Republic).

And of course, you didn't ask for books, but I assumed you were looking for something to read. Maybe not though.

Another South American saint who lived during the 16th century was St. Turibius of Mongrovejo.

It sounds like you are seeking maybe general saints of the "New World" from that century. You mentioned wanting South American Saints but since you mentioned St. Juan Diego I'm assuming you also are interested in any Mexican, Central American and Caribbean saints as well, since he is a Mexican saint.
I've included some early 17th century saints as there are some that straddle the century and it give a few more to choose from in that colonization period. So in addition to those mentioned, I've added:
South America
Martyrs of Paraguay
St. Roque Gonzalez, S.J. (1576-1628) Paraguay/Brazil
St. Juan del Castillo (1596-1628)
Alphonso Rodriquez (1598-1628) Paraguay/Brazil
Bl. José de Anchieta (1534-97) - Brazil
~Also found this great story about him in the Treasure Chest of Fact & Fun comic book. Joseph Anchieta, S.J.: Apostle to Brazil
Martyrs of Brazil (d. 1645) Bl. Ambrosio Francisco Ferr, Bl. Andre de Soveral, Bl. Mateus Moreiras
Mexico
Child Martyrs of Tlaxcala (d. 1527 & 1529), Mexico - first martyrs of the New World
Then there is a group of native Mexican priests and Spanish priests who had also served in Mexico who actually died in Japan as missionaries - Martyrs of Japan in 1597. Martyrs of Japan including St. Felipe de jesus de las Casas, St. Pedro Baptist Blasguez, and others
The Saints of North America (O'Malley) book indicates the Bishop Juan Zumarraga (bishop of St. Juan Diego) is a Servant of God.
Central america
St. Louis Bertrand (1526-81) Panama, West Indies, Columbia
St. Peter Betancur (1619-1667), Guatemala
West Indies/Caribbean
St. Peter Claver (1580-1654) - West Indies
