TAR 20 Speculation and Discussion **of Spoilers**
georgiapeach:
Doesn't matter. Neuschwanstein is also known as the "Cinderella" castle.
Some of what we could see:
--- Quote ---King Ludwig's chamber was a major highlight with its bedroom arrayed with all sorts of elaborate wooden furniture with a hunting theme. The bedroom also had a hidden locked door to a private toilet, one of the first in Europe that featured running water. There was an artificial grotto that made up one of the hallways, complete with fake rock and waterfall. The ballroom on the fifth floor was also a highlight, with its incredible display of artwork. As King Ludwig was a big fan of Wagner's operas, scenes from the operas were posted on murals throughout the building, especially in the bedroom.

The competitors will also face a food challenge in Italy and search King Ludwig's quarters in the German castle that was the inspiration for the castle in "Sleeping Beauty."

You are quite close, but AR3 teams did not visit Neuschwanstein. That pit stop was in a meadow overlooking Neuschwanstein on the nearby grounds of Schloss Bullachberg. Either way, it was Fussen.

If Google Earth is right, Santa Barbara is about 135 km from Salta as the crow flies and is at about 6700 feet in the middle of nowhere. I can't even find roads going to it. Google Earth can't give me driving directions from Salta to Santa Barbara. I'm a bit skeptical. It would be pretty isolated from a security standpoint though.
However, this could very well be where the skydiving happens. We already have matched up the river below the sky divers and Google Earth does show river valleys in those mountains. I'll try and match up the river with the location of Santa Barbara.
Update:
Whoops! Here's what Neobie found:
It's Salta alright! Rio Santa Marta near the town of Cafayate, 150km/90mi south of Salta city.
Santa Barbara is 135 km/80 mi NORTH of Salta, so it's almost 175 miles away from the skydiving. Now I'm even more puzzled about Santa Barbara. Maybe it's the name of an estate or ranch.
