Bolivia is definitey the odd one out there. I would cluster Bolivia with Peru and Ecuador in no small part because it is part of the core area of Quechuan language.
The other countries cluster well because they have some of the strongest European influences in Latin America with comparatively less indigenous and African influence as well as some climatalogiacal similarities being further from the equator than most of Latin America.
South America can be divided into the following four regions:
Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador = Andes incan culture
Paraguay, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile = Southern South America
Brazil = Brazil
Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, French Guyana = Northern South America, I would also add Panama as they consider themselves South Americans rather than Central Americans and feel closer to Colombians and Venezuelans than to Central Americans.
Generally more prosperous and peaceful. Safer for a newbie to travel and live in who isn't streetsmart regarding "typical Latin American issues." Temperate climate, a bit higher % of "white Latin Americans"
I'm thinking of spending a week and a half in Chile within the next couple of years. Its a latitudinal, mirror image of N. Americas west coast. Barren cold current desert transitioning to Mediterranean scrub and agriculture transitioning to cool, temperate rain forest with fjords and glaciers.
Just got back from Australia. Love the southern hemisphere.
As I've known Argentina, Bolivia, Uruguay, and Paraguay are member of Mercosur,a sub-regional bloc and Chile is one of Mercosur associate countries.
So I think name of the cluster of countries that includes Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Uruguay, and Paraguay is Mercosur.

You are right.
Thankfully, Chile is not a member (only associate )of mercosur in any way, shape or form. Just wanted to make that clear. Venezuela is though.

It's actually Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and Venezuela. I'm fine with all countries being there except Venezuela

The late "Comandante" Hugo Chávez FrÃas had a lot to do with Vnzla being included in that group.
Similar ideologies being shared at the time (21st Century Socialism - Socialismo del Siglo XXI) with Brasil (Lula), Argentina (Kirchner), Uruguay (Mujica), Paraguay (Lugo) and the ca$$h box that he brought along with him had a big impact and allowed to be admitted.
