Speculation on season 13

--- Quote from: apskip on April 25, 2008, 03:13:11 PM ---I noted in Kogs' listing of all flights from Buenos Aires that Asuncion and SantaCruz Bolivia were both there multiple times. His list was developed based only on EZE, the international airport. Newberry (code AEP) is the Buenos Aires domestic airport. It has flights to all over Argentina. It also has some international flights. I found a 2-stop flight to Iguassu Falls and a 1-stop flight to Asuncion. However, I basically agree with the depth of listings that Kogs found from EZE. The could get to Iguassu Falls and many places in northen Argentina by bus, but I don't think that's what they did.

--- Quote from: apskip on April 25, 2008, 12:59:52 PM ---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.

The above post #10 holds up extremely well despite the shift from Buenos Aires to Sao Paulo. The only thing that changes is the first #6, which changes from Sao Paulo in AR9 to Buenos Aires in AR5.

Given the shift to Sao Paolo, I think that Salvador and Recife are fairly good follow up destinations (assuming Sao Paolo isn't just a transit point to another city).

Don't overlook Manaus or Belem; good locations for a ding on the Amazon to chase piranhas.
Won't deal with ethanol again I am sure.
And good chance they will come back through GRU on April 26; but to where?

GMAN, if you read the Timetables and Flight Information thread, maybe you could answer that question. My answers include:
Madrid
Lisbon
London
Paris
Frankfurt
All of these have nonstop flights from Sao Paulo that I have listed in a posting. However, the most interesting possiblity is going to Auckland New Zealand via either Santiago Chile or Buenos Aires, both of which have nonstop service that is also listed in a separate posting.
Of course, my logic of nonstop flights proved faulty on the first flights from LAX, but is less likely to prove faulty going long distances over the Atlantic Ocean or the Pacific Ocean as they are no reasonable transit points along the way. We could easily have a connecting flight to get to Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires, or Rio de Janeiro before hopping over the Atlantic or to Santiago or Buenos Aires before hopping over the Pacific.
