GEORGIA PEACH, it's a fabulous place but 250 miles from PUNTA ARENAS. I just don't think it's possible with the timing to get to such an out-of-the-way place.
hakushu8:
Is it possible that the two detour choices here are the flounder and the rock climb, and the roadblock is the white water rafting? Looking at this image, doesn't it seem like Danielle is holding a clue with something yellow on it? (Credit to whoever originially posted it. :lol:)
But then again, that could just be the envelope. Although why did Eric take off his jacket, if maybe to help/jump afterwards, kind of like what happened in the "By Machine (?)" detour from Ep. 2. Or maybe he just took of his jacket because of the heat.
Just my rambling/speculations. ;D

--- Quote ---Ok how could we have 4 detours?
40 foot rock climb< clue says detour
white water rafting < clue says detour
the sign painting
the gold compass's / map
and of course the Fish/Roadblock

Sounds like the TBC. Officially, as in what has been promo for the next epi, we only know about
40 foot rock climb< clue says detour
white water rafting < clue says detour
and of course the Fish/Roadblock
So the other tasks are the second half of the TBC.

PUDDIN, don't be so quick to act on that. That's because there is a fifth activity that we already know about in the USHUAIA area, the zodiac boats that should have to be part of a TBC leg. Also, what do the teams do after the zodiac boats on Nov. 26 and before the pitstop late on Nov. 27? Finally, why wouldn't whitewater rafting and rock climbing be alternate detours in the Puerto Montt area?
The first two legs of AR11 have been about airplane flights and long stretches of driving, with very few ROADBLOCKS and DETOURS. It's about time that we have an episode with some action. I believe that episode 3 is that episode without being a double leg, but i guess we'll see.

The probability that whitewater rafting is somewhere near PUERTO MONTT has gone way up. This also means that the waterfall is probably the Rio Petrohue and the Volcano is Osorno, both in the vicinity of Puerto Montt. I am going to guess that the alternate DETOUR to whitewater rafting is ROCK CLIMBING, so teams do not have to do both.
The most logical flights into and out of Puerto Montt given tthe context of the race are:
Depart Calama on LAN 355/391 to SCL 1910 to 2105
Depart SCL to PMC on LAN 261 2355 to 0135
I assume that the activities in the Puerto Montt area will take all morning and maybe part of the afternoon.
Leading teams should get LAN 293 PMC to Punta Arenas 1450 to 1700
Straggling teams will get LAN 297 PMS to PUQ 2140 to 0050

I'm still rafting--and probably all wet!
Would this work? The Rio Azul link
--- Quote ---The Tres Monjas mountain looms over the valley to river left. On river right, the turquoise water of the Rio Azul flows from the ice-capped glaciated peaks that form at its headwaters. An inviting white sandy beach marks the entrance of ClubFuta at Campo Tres Monjas.
The Río Azul (Rafting, Kayaking, Fly- Fishing, trekking)
This river runs into the Futaleufu on river right shore next to our camp. This glacier-fed river can range between 600 to 2000 cfs, depending on rain and snowmelt in the mountains. This is a great warm-up for the Class 3/4 kayaking trips. The Azul is a great alternate river for when the Futaleufu is too high. Technical and defined, the Río Azul takes its name from the aquamarine colored water. This is great fish habitat for the native rainbow trout.
