TAR 21 Predictions
apskip:
I was in Auckland and Rotorua, New Zealand last July. Temperatures in evenings did drop to 0 degrees Celsius in Rotorua and about 5 degrees Celsius in Auckland but were still quite pleasant. It is on the South Island that New Zealand temperatures routinely go below 0 degrees Celsius. The Amazing Race could have done even the South Island in the winter, although I certainly agree that its summers are much more pleasant.

Not going into logistical side or even assuming it might happen, but it depends on what part of South America, they'd like to reach. Ecuador (and by extent Galapagos Island used as finish line in TAR:LA2 if I'm remembering that correctly) for example is so close to the equator line that they don't really have seasonal changes. The same could be applied to most of the countries on the northern part of the South America.

I don't see it that way. Brazil is a subtropical country even in winter. Argentina's northern half (down to about Mendoza) has surprisingly mild winter temperatures. Chile well below Santiago has the same due to the effect of the Pacific Ocean.

Definitely Mexico deserves a second visit. If WRP loves bringing Elimination Station down here, why not bring the race back here again? 37 million Americans vacation here every year, why not bring down 24 more for a couple of days.
Most people don't realize how big Mexico is. It is in the world's biggest 15 with 3/4 of a million square miles and more than half of the country lies at least 500 miles away from the areas under the US "travel warning".
It seems silly to me not to visit a country with almost 50 major international airports which more than half are served by US airlines, leaded by United.
As In any other country in the world there are areas which remain "off reasonable limits" and there are many examples from all over the world, including London, Moscow, Los Angeles, Mumbai, Buenos Aires and New York.
I hope there are some intelligent people in WRP who decide to go for an Aztec, Mixtec, Zapotec, Olmec, Toltec or Mayan adventure and not only bring Elimination Station down here like if we were just a dump.

I know. The travel warning is mostly in the north around here.
There is still a LOT of other places they can visit, and it's almost summer. They won't have to worry about cold temperatures.
