Oh Good Catch!

I wasn't ready for it and just heard "on the Amazing Race"!

But I want the multi-episode preview with all the little shots of each place! But maybe they won't do that this time because y'all have gotten too good! :o :lol:

Oh. My. God. (laughing helplessly)

I also have this timeline done--mine is scribbled notes on the back of an old envelope!

That is one seriously awesome job! I am beyond words....

Do note that Whirley says that it takes at least 3 hours to get to the ranch from Quito. Other than that, how can you add to perfection? :puter:

Thanks.  I can make tweaks really easily.  There are a lot of arbitrary time allocations that are sized just to make the things we know so far fall into place.

I really just wanted to see how to fit in the Antarctic leg.

Here's a stab at putting things in order.

Well,  CHATEAU, an excellent start on getting everything into a timeline for the first 5 legs. I only have a few small details that you might consider correcting:

1. The 945pm flight from Quito will arrive Santiago at 600am. With international customs clearance, 40 minutes is not sufficient to get onto the 640am flight to Calama (CJC). There are 2 ways around this, first to leave on the 605pm flight through Lima to get to Santiago by 225am. That will allow plenty of time to get on the first flight to Calama at 640am. Second, in conjunction with 6am arrival schedule the 705am flight to Calama arriving 910am or 25 minutes after the earlier one.

2. Your comments about the Guidos missing the plane from Ushuaia do not jive with my understanding of schedules. As long as teams leave Ushuaia for Buenos Aires domestic by 936pm, they will be fine in getting to Buenos Aires International and Sao Paulo and onto the first possible transatlantic flight to Johannesburg leaving at 625pm on the second day.

Thanks askip.  Can you re-post that 9:36 pm flight data.  I was hunting for it but obviously unsuccessfully.  I'll re-stack the time elements after I get a few more corrections.

Also, I saw the 2:25 am arrival flight but used the other one for no particular good reason except it was so early in the morning.  The time blocks before the flight are adjustable.

CHATEAU, asked "Can you re-post that 9:36 pm flight data." It is:

2136 USH to ALP (Buenos Aires Domestic) arrives 0056 next day; ground transfer needed to international

0610 EZE(Buenos Aires International) to GRU (Sao Paulo) arrives 0900
Other later flights arrive 0920, 1037, 1140, or 1350

1825 GRU to JNB (Johannesburg) arriving 0715 second day

0840 JNB to MPM (Maputo) arriving 0940


In addition, I have another addition to make your timeline more accurate. There is only one flight on Saturday Nov. 26 from Punta Arenas to Ushuaia. Indeed, there are only three in a week. It is LAN 997 leaving PUQ at 1400 arriving USH at 1450.

Thanks apskip, that's good to know.  Is it Saturday or Sunday the 26th?  What are the other two flights?  They may play a role in getting around down there since Ushuaia is such "a pain to get out of" according to the blogger.

I've added a new thread for maps--hopefully it will be useful...

I couldn't credit everybody over there--but I shamelessly stole your posted maps to put them over there--so thanks to you all! :yourock:

If I missed something and you want  it added directly into the appropriate section, let me know and I'll add it in. Otherwise, just add yours in....The more, the merrier!

Oh, and thanks to Slowhatch--I  started a links/sources section in the first post. If anyone has a favorite that isn't there, would you PM me so I can have all our best links right on top? Thanks!

Well, the "pain to get out of" issue is quite true. I noted it in a previous post(possibly not on RFF) about the options for going from Punta Arenas to Ushuaia. The options(including the addded fourth one) are:

1. LAN flight 997 nonstop departs 1400 arrives 1450 but only flies Saturday, Monday, and Wednesday.
2. A bus that takes 11 3/4 hours and leaves at 0730 every Friday and Sunday, crossing the Strait of Magellan on a ferry first.
3. Go over on the ferry and get Drive-yourself cars, which would not be much faster than the bus.
4. Ships that typically take multiple days and have many scenic stops before getting there (but would be about 2 days if they went straight through).

What is clear is that you can't fly commercial on Sunday and they could not have taken the bus on Sunday. Since we have a sighting at the Tierra del Fuego National Park near Ushuaia on Sunday afternoon, they had to get there somehow. Maybe a charter plane flight? Drive-yourself- cars combined with the ferry may still be a possibility.
