Well, it can be done even on epic speed. But will require some pre-birth game, coz you can spend tons of time, waiting Spain colonise Grenada and build something usefull here.
Since i was playing with Inca - i decide to switch to Colombia and try them (finally i got Colombian UHV, i was always short in time even on Marathon in 1.17)
All you need - settle couple of cites in Grenada. Thats all. Of cause if you improve them - be much better. You need Caracas, Riohacha (2nd Core city) and Ciudad de Panama. You'll get 2 Legion in each city - so your started army be bigger.

I switch to democracy, Caste System (food for Bogota), FreeEnt, and Clergy. You can switch to Slavery, if there any workers around to capture.
I got a lot of GE but couldn't use them, since all industrial wonders was build before i discovered them. I only got Guadalupe Basilica (since i left it in building status by Inca, but Argentina usually build it, so you'll get it anyway) and also i was able build Molle Antonelliana in Inca's city later. So better get GS first to bubble Chemistry. Maybe you'll need spare some GP for GA. I got GA in 1906 for completing 3UHV (so sell resources as mad)
Science - Chemistry, Ballistic, Flight (you'll need Howitzer vs Machineguns), Microbiology to grow Core cites. Also i build some Courthouse only in big cites, and then only by settlers in Global Era. So Your core can handle in Global Peru and Argentina w\o problems.
I left Inca to strong, so spend a lot of turns to beat them, then Argentina and Brasil. Then you build up Bogota - start building second army to attack Brasil from 2 side. Legions with generals will be your T-800, but some riffles need to protect them, don't let them moving alone. And don't lose your starter canons. Use them only for bombarding.

Actually, you can play without pre game, imo
You can build 2 settlers quiet fast in Bogata with CS and Redistribution. And if Inca dead - capture Andes fast. And on marathon you'll get a lot of time to capture all South America.
