EP3: "I'm Sorry I'm Wearing A Bathing Suit. It Is Very Weird, I Know."
puddin:
No luck finding the 40 foot rock climb but this looks like fun! No idea if you could climb it though :angel:
gingerman28:
Petrohue area seems like the best bet for both rafting and rock climbing. More information here:

Another possibilty would be in and around Chaiten (3 hours by bus from Puerto Montt (or a 25minute charter air trip) Rafting in the Rio Fotaleufu and Rock climbing on the Torre de los Vientos (Tower of the winds)

I've been up and down the Lake District Gman with no luck ..I was leaning towards Puerto Octay, Osorno and of course Puerto Montt.
I think the detour is first, as we see the teams bunched somewhat then the Roadblock but, I can't help but to wonder what the clue was missed per webclues? Was it something to do with the detour or the roadblock? I wonder how far back they have to go? or did they do what teams have done in the past..see Phil at the Pitstop before knowing the last task and that confused them? ...with Phil sending them back to complete the task of course.
** At the pitstop, one team's joy turns to shock when Phil tells them that they did not get one of their clues and they have to go back to retrieve it. Is this the end of their race?

Wow - everyone here does such an amazing job with the research - I'm glad I could help a little.
I've only rafted the Fu down there, but the couple places you've narrowed it down to look spot-on. I tried e-mailing my former river guides down there to find out more info, but I'm just getting auto replies that they're all on the river. Oh, well, I tried. :'(
One thing I did notice was that in the preview when Teri is arguing at the airport counter, it's definitely NOT in Puerto Montt which has a solid wall behind the ticketing agents.

Given Puerto Montt is over 850 miles from Punta Arena, it does look like a TBC in Chile/Argentina is likely. Ushualia is only 160 miles from Punta Arena, BTW.
B:) OK, times up, back to racing, err.... I mean spoiling. ;)

Maybe PA is just a seperate leg?

I am now considering the possibility of 5 South America legs. #3 at Puerto Montt, #4 at Punta Arenas and #5 at Ushuaia. This occurs to me because of the wealth of activities that appear to happen around Puerto Montt, elevating that to its own short leg(although there is 1000 miles of flying to get there). Also, the statement that there were ultimately 5 teams in Sequesterville - Acapulco has bothered me, because I just don't believe they would bring someone back from Mozambique to Mexico. Having all South America eliminations at Acapulco makes more sense to me.

Having a two-to-three-week vacation in Acapulco ain't all that bad! Great clubs, great restaurants, great beach, etc. just too many people! What a change from 1963 when I was first there.

GMAN, my only trip to Acapulco was in 1976. It was a very trendy resort then, but not overblown. I went to a sleepy little village called Zihuatenejo to seen the construction for Ixtapa, which had just started. The daily cliff diving demonstrations were the highlight in Acapulco.
BOINGO, I want to clarify your statement that "Ushuaia is only 160 miles from Punta Arenas." That's as the crow or airlplane flies and unfortunately there is no scheduled air service from Punta Arenas to Ushuaia on Sundays(Nov. 26). The alternative by water is over 300 miles and would take 1.5 days minimum. The alternative by land takes express buses 11 3/4 hours including the 2.5 hour ferry crossing to Porvenir. It's a long, winding rough road from Porvenir though Tierra del Fuego Island.
