In this Detour, teams had to choose between Agua and Roca. In Agua, teams have to collect half a cup of water by the taproot of cacti. Once they have collected enough water, they must give the water to a naturalist which he will trade them for the next clue. In Roca, teams have to shovel a wheelbarrow full of large rocks and deliver them to a pit about half a mile away. After filling up the pit, teams must break open the rocks with a pickaxe to divide them into two parts. Once all rocks have been split, they will receive their next clue from a native desert local.
