Speculation on season 13
apskip:
It's a good time to create a pure speculation thread. Teams are about to leave Buenos Aires. Where are they headed? I can state the following:
1. The emphasis in AR11 on Patagonia makes it unlikely that they will go there again.
2. The trip to Mendoza in AR7 makes that area unlikely too.
3. The trip to Motevideo, Uruguay and San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina in AR5 make those unlikely.
4. The AR11 focus on Quito, Calama, Santiago, and Puerto Montt makes all of Chile unlikely.
5. The previous trip in AR7 to Lima and Cuzco and Arequipa make Peru unlikely except for Iquitos.
6. The previous trips to Rio de Janeiro in AR2 and Sao Paulo in AR9 make those two major cities in Brazil unlikely.
Where in South America does that leave as possible?
1. Paraguay - untouched in its entirety
2. Iguassu Falls - on the border of Brazil, Paraguay and nearly Argnetina
3. Bolivia - untouched in its entirety
4. Brasilia
5. all of the Amazon including Manaus, Belem, Iquitos
6. Salvador, Brazil
7. Recife, Brazil
Where would I go?
Iguassu Falls, which is where I think they are about to arrive at right now by bus or plane from Buenos Aires.
When South American legs are done, how would I leave South America?
The jump to Johannesburg has been overused. I would go direct to Europe, probably Paris or London or Lisbon or Madrid. Of those Madrid is the only one never on an Amazing Race before so that would be my favorite.

Good thoughts! Lately they haven't done much "natural beauty" stuff. How about staying in Buenos Aires? Something to do with Evita Peron? Dancing (although that's been done to death). Soccer & beach volleyball have also been done.
Side note: There have been lots of news stories about the terrible smoke in Buenos Aires over the last few weeks.
Zack.:
I'm thinking Bolivia; it has a variety of climates so that it can provide the contrast between legs that the South American legs tend to use (city vs. jungle in TAR2, TAR9, city vs. mountains in TAR5, and the different parts in TAR7 and TAR11). Second best bet would be northern Brazil in the jungle (Manaus would be fine). If they were to remain in Argentina, perhaps Rosario and other cities along the Rio Parana would be visited?
After South America is done, I also think we'll have a leg in Europe. My top choices in Europe would be either Madrid or London, though I don't think a leg in Germany (perhaps an actual Frankfurt leg) is too out of the question. From there, who knows? I do think that given the emphasis on the Mediterranean in the last race, that there might be some more northern European legs (and maybe TAR will finally go to Belgium or Denmark, whose exclusion in TAR so far has baffled me).
And as far as far out predictions, I suspect there will be a trip to New Zealand near the end of the race - it's been a while since they visited the land of the Kiwi. Perhaps Phil's trip home earlier in the year was for more than just recreational purposes...

How about the Falklands? or Malvina's
and then Peach's long awaited trip to the Antarctic - though Winter is approaching
And i agree re: Northern Europe. I would like to see the UK again for obvious reasons.
So much they've missed (only London and Cambridge) Morris Dancing as it will be May soon.
I definitely expect to see Copenhagen in this one and The Czech republic hopefully Madrid

Also we need to remember I assume that the store was checked when sited on the 23rd), that even when teams can't purchase a guidebook or don't want to spend the money. Every single episode that has footage (or online clip) shows or talks about teams hiding the books of the place they are going so that teams that get their later wont beable to find a copy.
