Most people (including the facility itself) call it "NotA". :)

Terremark runs an IX in Miami with lots of "south of the border"  
networks, as well as the one in São Paulo, which is probably the one  
you found.

Other than that, there's another IX in São Paulo just a few miles from  
the Terremark facility with some additional, as well as some  
duplicate, carriers.

Besides São Paulo, I do not know any IXes in SA with lots of good  
peering, but would love to be educated.
