Flyng back to NY
we are very interested in this itinerary. But it looks like there is no way to get back to NY from La Paz without taking 3 planes and/or having a 7 hour layover in the Bogota airport. Anyone have advice or suggestions??? Might be a dealbreaker

Have you called Tauck, what do they offer? There aren't a lot of convenient (direct, short, short layover) flights to/from SA, especially Bolivia. If there are more/better options on Monday, you could book an extra night in La Paz through Tauck at the end of the tour. If you are a previous Tauck traveler you might be eligible for a free "Gift of Time" post-tour stay. A quick look at the flights on a typical Monday look only slightly better, however. In any case, whatever day/time you go, Tauck will provide transport from the hotel to the airport in La Paz.
Are you trying to fly all legs with the same airlines or code shares? Another option is to book a round-trip NY-Lima with a major carrier. Fly another, non-code share airline (Avianca, COPA, Peruvian, LATAM, etc.) from La Paz to Lima.
You could also spend an extra night in Lima and turn lemons into lemonade- turn a long layover into an extra day and/or another opportunity to explore.
I can't imagine you can't find at least a few flight schedules that would not result in a "deal breaker" for you when a Tauck trip is concerned! For us, the tour is the main thing, then we find the flights or make the arrangements to 'make it work.'
