Third Day



Teams take the Santa Anita buses and go to the Brotas town about 250km away from Sao Paulo  (thanks to  Charlierose, supsandalee, Chateau_d_If)

In Brotas, teams have to drive  Volkswagon Bug to the waterfall (thanks to  puddin)
all teams have to rappel down the Cachoeira de Santa Maria waterfall (thanks to  Chateau_d_If)

From TV Guide spoiler:
4 pm: Many of the teams have finished the challenge and have arrived at a warehouse to watch an indigenous cultural ceremony. The teams are required to take part by lighting a candle and handing it to one of the locals to receive their next clue. Some become visibly affected.

5 pm: Finally, everyone starts showing up at the first pit stop. Something I often hear from teams at the first mat chat is that the Race is nothing like they expected. Everyone thinks it looks so easy on TV, but are shocked at how dificult it really is. And this is just the beginning. There's more than 50,000 miles to the finish line, and cameras will be rolling every step of the way.

Chateau d If:
Actually, Banzai, it was Charlierose (by nine minutes :'( ) who got the Brotas idea.

But you can give me the rappel down Cachoeira de Santa Maria.   :giggle:
