According Arnold Hague, she sailed in Convoy OT 1, which left Curacao on May 18-1942 and arrived Trinidad on the 22nd. See also Page 4 above.

He has also included has her in Convoy BT 8, leaving Bahia on March 24-1943, arriving Trinidad on Apr. 5. The Norwegian Bajamar and Bañaderos are also included - see the external website that I've linked to below for more on these convoys. (Again, see Page 4 above).

Hegland states that Betancuria narrowly avoided an attack by U-172 (Emmermann) on July 16-1943, position 22 32S 33 53W, but spotted the U-boat in time and managed to get away. Going to Page 4 above, we find that she was on a voyage from Pernambuco to Buenos Aires on that date, having left Pernambuco on July 13-1943.
