  For this Roadblock, one team member would have to traverse across a series of hammocks hanging between trees, making their way from the start to the end of the course without touching the ground. At the end of the last hammock, they would find their next clue. The clue then told teams that the other team member would have to complete the course in a must faster time, to receive their next clue proper. Before leaving the reserve, teams voted for who would be Yielded.
  The Detour was a choice of בננה (Banana) and אננס (Ananas – Pineapple). In Banana, teams made their way to Finca La Rebusca, a banana plantation, and entered the field of banana trees. Each team was given a number, and teams would have to find five bushels of bananas that were marked with this number and harvest them. They would then load the five bushels onto a hanging track and use the local pulley system to deliver them to the preparation plant, where they would receive their next clue. In Pineapple, teams made their way to a nearby pineapple field where they would have to harvest 100 pineapples and then load them into a truck to receive their next clue.
  Additional tasks
  At the start of the leg, teams traveled by taxi to a marked area of the Hacienda Sueño Azul. At the bottom of a grassy valley, teams would find a pile of coconuts and some local baskets and tools, and teams had to use these tools and whatever other means available to them to transport 200 coconuts up the uneven hillside of the valley to a marked drop off point. Once 200 coconuts had been delivered, a man dressed as Baloo would give them their next clue.
  Teams then traveled to the reserve's suspension bridge and crossed it to enter the jungle. There, they would observe a sign with Spanish names and pictures for 12 creatures that could be found in the jungle, including bugs, frogs and a snake. Then, one team member would have to pick up six of these same living creatures from a cage and pass them to their partner, who had to place them correctly in 12 labeled cages. If all of the creatures were placed in the correct cages, teams would get their next clue from Mowgli.
  At Ticari Village, teams would discover the results of the Yield. Afterwards, teams would have to choose a local vending device that was essentially a tabletop attached to the top of a bicycle. They had to use this unwieldy device to transport glasses of juice, a maximum of 80 at a time, across a rugged path through the village. At the end of the path, teams had to pour the juice into a container, trying to fill it up to 8 quarts of juice. There was enough juice in 80 glasses for 8 quarts, so if teams did not spill anything they would only have to make one trip. After filling 8 quarts, teams would get their next clue.
  At San Isidro El General, teams had to find a cattle-drawn Sarapiquí cart in Santa Elena and convince two locals to take a ride in it. Teams would help lead the cattle through the streets to the town's church, where they received their next clue.
  At Parque Morazán in San José, teams would have to dress in gigantes y cabezudos costumes and dance to the music of a local band. As soon as the band stopped playing, teams could then run to the Pit Stop, while still wearing the costume, at the Edificio Metallica. The team who was yielded must wait for the hourglass to empty before beginning the task.
