graytex, that was an OK task, but:
1. it was a DETOUR Perro or Tango and
2. It was in Buenos Aires where dog walking is a common event, not anywhere in Brazil
ROADBLOCKS in Brazil, which I don't think are close to the standard for Switchbacks, were:
AR13, ep. 2 - In Caucaia, one team member must find the name of their next destination on an advertisement painted on the wall of the park.
AR9, ep. 2 - In Sao Paulo, teams had to climb one of three stairwells 400 feet (120 m) on a fire escape of the Edificio Copan. Once on the top, their arrival order deteremines when they get to put on a harness and rappel down the building.
AR2, ep. 2 - In Foz do Iguacu, Parque Nacional do Iguaçu leaving from Macuco Safari Dock, take speedboat into Iguaçu Falls and spot the flag at the top.

hmm? I think that was just an honest mistake!
TARPortland:
Hey guys, long time TAR fan and lurker on RFF! I just thought I would maybe mention that perhaps TAR would go to South Africa (maybe Cape Town) for the World Cup Draw on Friday. World Cup is a HUGE world event that truly connects the world and thats also what TAR tries to accomplish (showing its audience the beauty and diversity of the planet and its peoples!) So perhaps since they haven't been to Africa in many seasons now would be a perfect time to go and also pay homage to a truly global event taking place on the continent for the 1st time ever! I think people should be on the lookout for them towards the end of the week!
georgiapeach:
Hmmmm...thank you! You are the second person who has mentioned that to me in the last hour! So warrents a very close look.
:welcome: to RFF!

:funny:
I hope she produces a moment like Danielle in All-Stars:
"We're on our way to Australia!"
Eric: "We're going to Argentina!"
:jumpy:

As TAR 16 is in Chile, I thought I'd point out that the world's largest swimming pool is in Chile. The pool 1000 meters long, covers 20 acres and is 115 feet deep at one point.

It seems like the just the sort of place that would appeal to the Amazing Race producers, although it's too long to make them swim. Maybe a kayaking task or a find the clue among the dozens of buoys task.
However, it's about 250 miles from Viña del Mar to Algarrobo where the pool is located (or 290 miles from Santiago), so I think it's only a possible destination if they do a second leg in Chile.
