==Film segments==
This film features four different segments, each of which begin with various clips of the Disney artists roaming the country, drawing cartoons of some of the local cultures and scenery they see.

===''Lake Titicaca''===
In this segment, the Disney artists make a cartoon where [[Donald Duck]] visits [[Lake Titicaca]] in [[Bolivia]] and [[Peru]] and meets some of the locals, including an obstinate [[llama]] as an American tourist. When Donald tries to ride the llama over a bridge, he ends up falling into the sea and rows away in pots and pans.

===''Pedro''===
''Pedro'' is a story about a small anthropomorphic airplane from an airport near [[Santiago]], [[Presidential Republic (1925–1973)|Chile]], engaging in his first flight to retrieve [[air mail]] from [[Mendoza, Argentina|Mendoza]], with disastrous consequences. He manages to safely return to the airfield with the mail, which happens to be a single postcard. [[RKO Pictures]] released this particular segment as a theatrical short on May 13, 1955.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://affichesdisney.canalblog.com/archives/pedro/index.html|access-date=December 3, 2010|title=Pedro|language=fr}}</ref>

Chilean cartoonist [[René Ríos Boettiger]] (known popularly as "Pepo") was disappointed with how the character Pedro represented his country. In response, he developed the character ''[[Condorito]]'', who went on to become one of the most iconic comic magazine characters in Latin America.

===''El Gaucho Goofy''===
In this segment, American [[cowboy]] [[Goofy]] gets taken from [[Texas]] to the [[Argentina|Argentinian]] [[pampa]]s by the Narrator to learn the ways of the native [[gaucho]]. This segment was later edited for the film's Gold Classic Collection VHS/DVD release to remove one scene in which Goofy is shown smoking a [[cigarette]].<ref>{{cite web|author=Gerald Wurm |url=http://www.schnittberichte.com/schnittbericht.php?ID=1996 |title=Mehr als 4000 detaillierte Zensurberichte zu Filmen, Spielen, Comics, Serien und Musikvideos |publisher=Schnittberichte.com |date=May 15, 2008 |access-date=November 26, 2012}}</ref> This edit appears again on the Classic Caballeros Collection DVD.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ultimatedisney.com/classiccaballeroscollection.html |title=Saludos Amigos & The Three Caballeros: Classic Caballeros Collection DVD Review |publisher=Ultimatedisney.com |access-date=November 26, 2012}}</ref> This sequence has since been restored as the unedited version has been much requested.

===''Aquarela do Brasil''===
''Aquarela do Brasil'' (Portuguese for "Watercolor of Brazil"), the finale of the film, views Disney artists creating pictures that magically turn into different pictures. One of them is a flower, which turns into Donald Duck after a bee goes into his mouth. When the bee flies out of his mouth, Donald sees a paint brush creating a brand-new character, [[José Carioca]] from [[Rio de Janeiro]], [[Vargas Era|Brazil]], who shows Donald Duck around South America, lets him have a drink of [[cachaça]] with him, which is so spicy for Donald that he starts hiccuping, and introduces him to the [[samba]] (complete with the songs "[[Aquarela do Brasil]]" and "[[Tico-Tico no Fubá]]"). After that, the film ends.
