wow,  a first time visit to Colombia!
since we have visited Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, and Paraguay before,  Colombia is the new addition to SA leg and a new country.

THIS THREAD IS FOR SPECULATION ON and DISCUSSION OF OUR LIVE FINDS AND OTHER SPOILERS.

The title is TAR 28 Speculation and Discussion of **SPOILERS**

IT IS NOT for general casual speculation.

This is a work zone,  please help keep it mean and lean.

Take it to wish list if you want to chat about where we could maybe go.

Thanks everyone, this is how we work, we need to be able to review data fast!

I'm going to say it's probably actually Cartagena, Colombia. These are frequently sold in the street markets in Cartagena.



Just Google "Bags Cartagena, Colombia"

Not that e-a-s-i-l-y! Patterns, materials and colors vary between countries and regions. Those are definitively non-Mexican textiles. Go search for Colombian textiles and see how geometry matches.

There are nine daily flights to Colombia from Mexico City and some more from Cancun, I definitively knew that Colombia was next but I couldn't tell the flight or departure point. All of yesterday's flight went by without any sighting and so did the one from this morning.

The pictures posted on live thread are definitively from MEX T2. At the time they were posted, two flights left for Colombia from T2, both of them from AeroMexico, one to Bogota/El Dorado BOG and one to Medellin MDE and another flight left for Bogota from T1.

If the race has stuck with its rules of using two flights close together, then everything points to Bogota and to these two flights:

Out of T1 MEX-BOG 5:45 p. m. → 11:15 p. m. InterJet 2932 4O/AIJ

Out of T2 MEX-BOG 6:09 p. m. → 11:58 p. m. Aeromexico 0708 AM/AMX

This should put all teams into Bogota by midnight. Both flights are now entering Costa Rican air space.

I'm actually going to guess it's the open air market Mercado Bazurto in Cartagena, Colombia.

Ah, very nice.  Thanks for the tip.  Definitely look more Colombian in style.  But can we pinpoint Cartagena from that?

ALen found these:

To Medellin:

AM798 MEX MDE 6.07PM 11.38PM GATE 10 TERMINAL 1

To Bogotá:

AM708 MEX BOG 6.19PM 11.48PM TERMINAL 2

The Instagram poster specifically said Bogota too.

I can absolutely confirm now that all of these are Colombian textiles, but it is impossible, just impossible to confirm the city as the picture above is from Bogota.

There are quite a few pictures of bags with the exact colors and patterns all over the place (pinterest, tumblr, etc) from people on vacation and seeing them in the street markets.

The Mercado Bazurto is a famous market that is apparently crazy and you can actually pay to have a guided tour of. Apparently it's a labyrinth and it sells pretty much everything.

I have searched the pictures of the Colombian Textiles.
Nearly all of the pictures are tagged with Cartagena

Phil may hint Cartagena as the next destination?

Just a tip:

Since El Dorado is an imaginary Colombian town and it is also the name of Bogotá's International Airport, Colombians rarely refer to the airport as BOG or el aeropuerto or Bogota International or the airport, for everyone searching the social networks try just "El Dorado".

Cartagena de Indias, Bolivar, Colombia

As for the Cartagena suspicions. Cartagena de Indias is the most beautiful colonial city in all of the Caribbean coast, maybe a point in its favor. MasterChef Mexico just came back from filming in Cartagena so film promotion must be high. If the final destination is Cartagena, then teams might have been splitted into AeroMexico to Medellín MDE connecting to Cartagena CTG and AeroMexico to Bogota BOG connecting to CTG.

This puts Cartagena as number 2 probable city after Bogotá.

Okay guys, thank you!

Just as a reminder, both Cartagena and Bogotá had legs in different seasons of TARLA.
