I've found a similar floor pattern here and this Chilean bus blog (near the bottom of the page). It's the bus station in Temuco, although I wouldn't call the evidence conclusive.

good catch  :tup:   I'd say the stores are similar in the Temuco Terminal.

 :lol3: Neobie got it right.  The "Katrina" is located on Lago Todos los Santos.  Here it is!   ;)

It's about where Onces Bellavista sits, just south of Ensenada. And the confessional viewpoints are roughly similar to the Hotel/Cabanas del Lago on the outskirts of PV. So I'm wondering...do they head west instead of east, finishing up in PV?

How about our production hotel, Cumbres Patagonicas?




P.S. What are they doing in Temuco? Mid-journey stopover? Waffle House breakdown? ("I'm happy!")

I forget...do we have the Llamas yet??

From the original newspaper article>>Onces Bellavistas

Their website: http://www.oncesbellavista.cl/cabanas.htm

And from their photogallery>.we get llamas! http://www.oncesbellavista.cl/albums/page_01.htm

Smells like a Pitstop to me.






Oh...and milk too!

Looks like Monique takes quite a kick from that cow.

Ow!

Jordan looks sad.  I hope they don't come in last this leg!!

They will win the first three legs, and then Jeff will make a critical error and then Monique & Shawnee will overtake them ala Charla & Mirna.

Don't we already have a Pit Stop in the town of Puerto Varas itself, where Jody/Shannon were seen in the grotto with Phil and the greeter? Am I missing something?

Really exciting leg after seeing those previews

Wow... that kicking has gotta hurt.

I wouldn't want to be in her shoes at that time

Nice, but that isn't the Pit stop we already have those spoiler pictures already in Puerto Varas

Sorry...I didn't mean the MAT Pitstop...I meant the place where the racers spend the night. :lol:  Might they go back here??  ???

Someplace with a narrower "inlet," I think; I like Neobie's hotel.
If Jebber is Ep2, then the cars still have to be resolved. The trunk cap looks like cabs, not self-drive (yellow roofs, driver standing by). And I don't think anyone has figured out the "old joint."

 :lol:  No surprise here, Temuco is the end of the line for the bus trip.  They switch to (taxi?) cars at the Terminal Rodoviario de La Araucanía, Temuco, Chile.   :snicker:

eta:  which leaves them a good 200 miles from Puerto Varas...   hmmmm, why do we see a lone racer looking worried in the bus terminal? ....did they miss the connection? ....are they taking a cab to catch up with the others further south? ....so many questions  :lol3:  :duno:

Maybe they have to take cabs back to Osorno, then bus to Angostura/Bariloche.

Remember, teams check in at the end of Leg Two around mid-day of the 1st. If teams are released from Santiago/Valparaiso on the morning of the 30th (following the assumption that gloves=morning), that means a daytime bus ride would result in an overnight stay somewhere around Puerto Varas. Would that be at the Onces as Peach pointed out (any insider info?), at the Temuco bus stop, or maybe in the cabin Jet/Cord are searching in? It's a 13.5h bus ride to Puerto Varas, 9.5h to Temuco.

Jebber has the teams in Argentina, so I'm pretty sure that's Leg Three.

Hypothesis: Travel to Temuco by bus, arrive around sundown, find a departure time in the cabins a la Southern Colonel in TAR 8 (Jet/Cord doing the OK sign), depart the next morning by taxi.

Nice work on the Temuco cap!  :tup: A morning departure for Temuco is easy with Tur-Bus; I couldn't get the Pullman site to work.

Do we know if the roadblock was done before or after the detour?

If the overnight rest hypothesis is correct, then maybe this is to make up for the lack of an overnight rest on Leg 1.

Remember there was an overnight rest on TAR 15's second leg as well.  :tup:
