El Penon will be a perfect way to start the leg. The teams in TAR Australia 6 had to climb that thing and it was no joke.

This leg from the preview definitely looks more interesting overall than the first two, especially the switching Detours 4 times.

it also has public transportations like jeepney and boat (albeit chartered) so it should be a better leg than the first two

Seems that one of the tasks is collecting coffee beams.

If you look in the area close to the El Peñón, there are several coffee plantations around.

Hard to tell with the pictures because I can't make out anything other than a sausage, but I'd bet that one side of the Detour is cooking bandeja paisa, the most known dish of Antioquía (Medellín's department)

i assume this will be a "two legs in a ep" case for this season judging how many tasks there are in Colombia

[Alenaveda]

It took some time and patience but I think I found the area where was located the cooking task: is on a section of the Guatapé street 29.

Well, in the sneak peek they talk about arepas and chicharrón, two of the elements of the that dish.

[Alenaveda]

Don't remember if this was already found or also told in the Tik Tok video posted on the live sightings (if that's the case my apologies in advance) but the loading task seems to be performed in the Municipal Parking Lot on the street 30 (the images on Google Maps are from 6 years ago, but the resemblance is huge).

[Alenaveda]

Speculating about the PS location, if is located in Guatapé, my TAR game designer mind only find three suitable spots for it: the city's Malecón, the Parque Principal (in front of the church) or the Plazoleta de los Zócalos (personally, the one I'd choose if it were one of my games ).

Isn’t the PS on top of some hill? It’s in the press picture with Danny and in the season previews with Double Dutch slipping and falling.

Yeah it's on a hill that requires hiking. It's likely near the coffee RB location; teams may even travel directly there on foot (walking uphill from the Roadblock to the Pit Stop).

The Leg structure is likely as follows:
Pit Start at El Peñón, Guatapé. Teams climb up and retrieve Detour clue.
Detour in Guatapé (teams take the colorful cars from El Peñón to the town proper, as seen in many previews with Sunny/Bizzy saying "we're in a race around the world!")
Teams travel by boat across the Guatapé Reservoir- however long, we do not know.
The Roadblock/Pit Stop/paragliding Roadblock in Leg 4 are all across the reservoir from Guatapé, either fully or partially, in a lush, more mountainous side of the lake.

From a logistics perspective, if teams are only provided transport on the ground in Guatapé, and then a boat, it wouldn't make sense for teams to need ground transport again between the Roadblock and Pit Stop. Otherwise, they likely would've stuck with ground transport, either taxis or the buggies seen in the previews, the whole leg.

[Alenaveda]

I think there's an instruction to go to some point of the lake again. We have a picture of Sunny and Bizzy with a roadblock clue with the lake as a background.
