The first Games were held in 1978 in [[La Paz]], [[Bolivia]]. They have since been held every four years, with the most recent edition in 2022 in [[Asuncion]], [[Paraguay]]. The Games have had an equivalent to the [[Olympic Flame]] since their inception: the [[South American]] Flame, which is relayed from [[Tiahuanaco]], Bolivia, to the host city.<ref name=flame>

For the XI edition in 2018 there were two bids: [[Cochabamba, Bolivia]], and [[Barquisimeto]], [[Venezuela]], with the final hosting decision in favour of Cochabamba in 2011. Starting with the 2014 edition, the South American Para Games are held for South American Paralympic athletes. Just like the [[Olympic Games]], the host city for the South American Games is also the host for Para-South American Games.

The detailed history of the South American Games together with an extensive list of medal winners was published in a book written (in Spanish) by Argentinian journalist Ernesto Rodríguez III with support of the [[Argentine Olympic Committee]] under the auspices of the Ministry of Education in collaboration with the Sports Secretary of Argentina.<ref name=cada>{{Citation|last= Rodríguez III|first= Ernesto|year= 2010|title= LIBROS DEL CICLO OLÍMPICO ARGENTINO - Libro I de los Juegos Odesur 1978-2010|publisher= Alarco Ediciones|publication-place= Buenos Aires|url= https://www.scribd.com/doc/41949572/Libro-I-Juegos-Odesur-Ernesto-Rodriguez-III|access-date= 3 June 2012|language= es|isbn= 978-987-1367-18-4|pages= 192|edition= 1a.|url-status= dead|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20120104102158/http://www.scribd.com/doc/41949572/Libro-I-Juegos-Odesur-Ernesto-Rodriguez-III|archive-date= 4 January 2012}}</ref>
