TAR16 - EP1: "Nana is kickin' your butt (Chile)"--
Neobie:
Oh! Looks like teams start on the north side and have to work their way UP instead of down the wire, starting on the Villaseca side and working their way south to the Artilleria side. What suggests this to me: the clue box with the Route Info is facing the wires, not the Ascensor Artilleria, where teams would come from if they came from the South.
So we have teams taking the Ascensor Villaseca up the north hill, a Roadblock with one team member crossing south to the Artilleria side with the partner miraculously (?) appearing across the valley, and ending with teams getting a Route Info and very likely heading down the path to the touristy Paseo 21 de Mayo and the Ascensor Artilleria to catch a taxi or whatever.

Yes, we figured that out from the EXIF data. The pictures at the clue box are a couple of minutes after we see Dan and Allison on the wires.
And, yes, I always thought the racers were coming from the North side to the South side.

If the ocean is on the right (west) in this picture, then dont they travel south to north, when going from Villaseca to Artilleria, on the wires?
Nevermind, with the curvature of the bay, they are going north to south. The ocean is on the east in this pic!!

No. The area is on a peninsula sticking off the west coast of Chile. The water you see to the right is to the east, but it's a bay that comes around the peninsula. The ocean is to the west, but it's on the other side of the hill.
He figured it out. :lol:
