So after the first exciting day of TAR on Iquique and me following them around and waiting for the last team to arrive at the first pitstop of this race, this is what I could gather from some personal contacts and what this forum could find on twitter. Locations are confirmed but the order of the events in Santiago are not confirmed.
Leg 2, Iquique - Santiago, Chile
June 10
Pitstart: "Plaza Prat's Clock Tower"
Jut before midnight start for the second Leg under the Clock Tower from Iquique's Main Square Plaza Prat.
June 11
Route Info: "Museo Replica Corbeta Esmeralda"
Make your way on foot to the museum, it opens at 8:00 and it takes 10 minutes on foot to get there from the main square, so teams are probably gonna get all together. No Task here only clue inside.
Route Info: "Irland 3 Salt Mine"
Teams took taxis from the museum to "Kilometro 21" (they might call it differently) from where they grabbed a bike and ride it to the abbandoned Irland 3 Salt mine, they were followed by a 4x4 pickup truck with camera and sound crew.
Detour: "Ireland 3 Salt Mine"
Both choices inside the open salt mine.
Option 1: Change in your swiming suit, jump in to a pool of salt water, get out and stack some salt sacks (confimated by preview)
Option 2: Break an amount of Salt Rocks and (maybe) fill some sacks.
Route Info: Santiago, Chile.
Drive your bike back to "Kilometro 21" (They might call it differently) and from there teams would take back the taxi they left waiting for them to take them back to to Iquique to take a bus to Santiago's Estacion Central.
June 12
Route Info: Estacion Central.
Take the metro train from "Estacion Central" to "Plaza de Armas" this are two stations that teams are gonna need to change lines, so if they don't understand the metro system they are gonna get lost underground. From twitter user.
Route Info: Plaza de Armas.
Teams and clue box spotted here.
Roadblock: Paseo Ahumada or Plaza de Armas
Shoe polish and stored your tools in an specific way and take them to an unknown location. From twitter user.
Route Info: Cascada de las Animas, Cajon del Maipo, Santiago, Chile.
Twitter and taxi drivers talk about driving the teams to the Waterfalls. Canopy is an activity that can be done here and the preview shows the teams doing it over what probably is "Rio Maipo"
Pitstop: Unknown. Probably on Cajon del Maipo, Santiago, Chile.
Possible bridge over "Rio Maipo" is seen on the "on our way" preview for this season.
And that is the end of my contribution to this forum at least from this season. Peach and co. feel free to edit and apply your layout to this. No links this time but feel free to add them to this.
All in one leg? THAT'S AWESOME!!! :conf:
not sure if anyone else saw it yet, but episode 3 title quote is "King Arthur Style".

Oh the ZIPLINE, lol. Now I get it! :-[
Racers strip down and muscle up for a bizarre salt bath in Santiago, Chile.

Oh no they don't. They do it in a mine right outside Iquique. 1000%. :funny:
I don't think we have ever had a mistake like this in the press releases before... Sure hope they won't be trying to portray this as being in Santiago!! :ascared

New promos show that team Bingo are 'desperate' and that the Afghanimals have hit rock bottom and are bickering :'(Ya'll are amazing :hearts: ..
I really don't understand the newspaper part of the task... :crazy:

In the Dead Sea in Israel, saltiest sea on Earth, it is common to be floating so much that people can read a newspaper without geting the paper wet. I think it should be something similar. There are images for sure in google images about that. ;)
Route Info: "Irland 3 Salt Mine"
Teams took taxis from the museum to "Kilometro 21" (they might call it differently) from where they grabbed a bike and ride it to the abbandoned Irland 3 Salt mine, they were followed by a 4x4 pickup truck with camera and sound crew.
That's a good stretch of a cycle after a 24h bus journey.
Based on this bit of information provided by Vitoko:QuoteRoute Info: "Irland 3 Salt Mine"

and this picture of Team Bingo riding the bikes:
I was able to find a likely location for the Detour. The solar altitude indicated by the nose shadow says it is about 9:30 am. At that time the sun was shining from azimuth 74.5 degrees. Sincre the sun is exactly at his left we know the roadway that he is riding on is pointed with azimuth 74.5 + 90 = 164.5 degrees. That helps to find the right stretch of roadway. Looking within one taxi ride from Iquique I found a road with exactly that angle! It's the A-750 south of and inland from town.
From Kilometro 21 it is a 3.6 km ride to an abandoned salt mine. Thanks to Vitoko, I believe this is the location of the Ireland 3 Salt Mine and our Detour. :conf:
Wikimapia is calling it Salina La Isla (http://wikimapia.org/3549777/es/Salina-La-Isla), but take that with a grain of salt (:funny:......sorry) because even the commenters can't agree on what "oficina" it represents.
Is that NFL in cap 5?
Is that NFL in cap 5?
No, since cap 5 is clearly labeled Brandon and Adam, lol.
Didn't TAR have a similar task in Peru some seasons back? Yep, leg 2 of TAR 7 in Arequipa, Peru before teams flew to Santiago, and it was also a roadblock.

Only this time they have to find a checkpoint and bring the equipment with them, making it slightly tougher I guess :yess:

That's because since TAR 7, we have improve our shoeshine techonology :yess:The sad part is that I'm not kidding, there is a lot of them in Chile and some of them are made out of steel or wood
The shoeshine task is about to be my favorite task on this Leg! I hope the Chilean peso goal is high and looking impossible when teams begin. :hearts: Looks so much more challenging since teammates will have to drag the station around with them in Santiago than being literally "stationary".Didn't TAR have a similar task in Peru some seasons back?

I think we have some of these in Ireland in shopping centres (Irish spelling of centers), not 100% sure ???
I like these challenges that could cause lots of place changing amongst the teams.

RESPONSE TO BAD PUN: :groan:
Anyway, does anyone know the distance between the Lustrabotas stand street and zipline location? It seems really far as the forest background completely contrasts the city life.
Could there be an unaired task in between rb and pitstop?

Well how would we know if it's unaired.. if the episode hasn't even aired yet :crazy:

It should do as we see it in the promo.Could there be an unaired task in between rb and pitstop?

Well if you looked at the leg summaries on page one, you'd see the only task we know of between the RB and PS is the zipline. None of us know for sure if the zipline is going to air or not, we'll just have to wait and see.

Are we?
What if it was unaired because the back of the pack got there at night so it was too dangerous for them to do it :S
Ashley&Ally talk about San Alfonso in the pitstop interview from the insider videos, and the clue from the roadblock didn't say anything about it, maybe this was edited out.
I still think is the beginning of Leg 3 though.

Hmm, I thought you haven't seen the preview yet? Leo and Jamal open the first clue that tell them "Fly to Portugal", with Jamal wearing red shirt
I do not know if they got to shower, but they probably had time. There was a wait for the bus for most of the teams, but was there a shower handy.
I wonder if teams got a chance to shower after doing brinning? Otherwise the 24+h bus ride might have been tad uncomfortable...
