I agree, it looks like the Roadblock come first. Too much activity in connection with the Detour (Shoot it or Climb it) to then go back to do the Roadblock with what looks like at least 6 teams all bunched up. So think order of the day reads something like this:
1. Drive from Valley of the Dead to Calama Airport
2. Fly to Puerto Montt via Santiago
3. Find the Fish Farm nearby, ROADBLOCK, (who is quick with their hands?) catch barehanded (a la Survivor a plus for Romber) one or two flounder-type flat fish and carry them a ways to the fish monger who will give them the next clue.
4. Travel to Rio Petrohue area for DETOUR, either Climb It (scale 40 foot cliff) or Shoot It (shoot the rapids in a rubber raft) Two teams try to Climb It but decide to Shoot It instead. One team has trouble and loses a member overboard (either Mary or Teri).
5. At end of task, proceed to PIT STOP. One teams arrives, but must go back to pickup clue. The team (Bill and Joe or Mary and David) has just followed the others to the Pit Stop without picking up clue at the end of the Detour.
6. Mary and David have just had too many bad things happen to them in the leg and end up being Philiminated as the third team to be sent to the isolation of sequesterville in A Ka Pul Co!

GMAN, I have to respetively disagree with your forecast of timing. I think that the plane into Puerto Montt will be landing at 1240. At that time of day, rafting will take several hours and logic tells me it will be started ASAP. Fish farming is not time dependent and can be done anytime, so it will be done later. In about one hour we should know which order is correct.

I'll try to start with what I think we know so far, but I'm going to need lots of help from apskip's flight data and Chateau's time/shadow shots and mswood's timelime eye--and all of y'all to chime in on this...
Okay--I don't think we know when the teams arrived at the pitstop last week --maybe exit interviews will help pin it down? for now, I'll assume afternoon on the 23rd, and also assume a 12 hour pitstop...
Leaving the pitstop:
Drive themselves back to Calama airport: This should be about 50-60 miles, so let's figure about 1 1/2 hours to get to the airport and another hour to 2 for finding a flight and checking in. Assuming that most of the will be leaving the pitstop in the wee hours of the morning, that allows for airport bunching.
The first flights I see out Of Calama to Puerto Montt are shown below (assumes 11/24) :
So let's assume that our guys arrive in Puerto Montt between 12-1PM. (Do we think any of them are so far behind that they won't get on the AM flight?)
Both rafting companies I checked have departures from Puerto Varas (just a little bit away from the airport at Puerto Montt--see Maps! Maps! Maps!) at 3PM with 5 hour total trips, 2 hours on the river--and somewhere I read that it takes about just under an hour to get to the river, and there will be some sort of a safety briefing too to need some time.

.
So I need shadow help here as to whether or not the Fish-Block or the Rafting/Climbing comes first?
Since we know that this is an elim week thanks to TES preview, where would the most likely pitstop be? I think it makes more sense to have them at the fishery late in the day rather than at the river--but I'm just guessing here. (I'm thinking it is time for a shower somewhere and not just a river bath! :lol:) Where would the team having to go back for a clue fit in? If the pitstop wasn't at the river but maybe at Puerto Varas, that could be very time-consuming to have to go back to the river--but might work with the whole having to go somewhere to get a clue...)
If the last task was the Fish-block--where would they have to go that required going back for a clue? Wouldn't that all be right there?--We see the teams at the clue box...
But in any case, looks like we'd be looking at late afternoon/ early evening pitstop arrivals.
That would mean early Am flights again on the 25th to get our teams to Punta Arenas for their time shots of early afternoon, already determined by Chateau. (We know they are at Cerro in Punta Arenas by at least 12:45 or thereabouts...)
Then here is where it all gets tricky and confusing...
We have Punta Arenas on the 25th (with some possible clues for an Intersection? I'm not 100% convinced about this)...
We have apskip's findings of no scheduled flights on Sundays(11/26) from Punta Arenas to Ushuaia, setting up the possibility of a l o n g bus ride(SAT PM to SUN AM??) (although I do still think a chartered flight is an option given that we need them in the park by 11/26).
We know the teams were seen in Tierro del Fuego park on 11/26 (zodiac boats) and again on 11/28 (Guido's at internet/booking place)
This all starts to smell like a combined leg to me--at least a TBC if not a NEL...
This still needs work--what do you all think?

PEACH,
All teams should easily get to Calama in time to make the 730am flight, which after connecting through Santiago arrives at Puerto Montt at 1240(information contained earlier in this thread).
In looking at going from Puerto MOntt to Punta Arenas, there is big trouble because there are only 2 nonstop flights most days and a third connecting flight on some (including fortunately Fridays). The first one out is LAN 260 back to Santiago leaving at 0600, connecting to Lan 281 which arrives Punta Areans at 1125. Anyone that misses that is going to get the 1305 nonstop and not get to Punta Arenas until 0315.

Neener Neener the detour is first :yess:
gingerman28:
So now we have a positive ID for the church in the opening vidcaps: San Pedro de Atacama. Missed that first stop, but the rest followed the plan pretty well. Did any team actaully try the rock climb? The tease said "two teams switched tasks" during the Detour, but I did not see anyone trying the rock climb.
There must be a fairly good spread between the arrival of the teams at the matt, as the B Q's actually had time to retrace the route back to the La Maquina marker to pickup the clue they missed and still get back in time to still be in fourth place.
A really broad hint in the "next week" promo that disaster strikes Romber. What a crushing blow this is going to be after actually winning handily the first three eps (that must be somekind of record). But they will have a nice vacation in A Ka Pul Co for over two weeks.
puddin:
I can't recall them even showing E/D climbing? and only heard teams deciding which detour they might take?
Maybe it will be on the Insider Clips :lol:
