  The Speed Bump required Matt & Ashley to use an old-fashioned typewriter to properly type out a llama loan application before they could continue racing.
  In this leg's Roadblock, one team member had to harvest a row of sugarcane using a machete to receive their next clue and a bundle of sugarcane from a farmer.
  The leg's Detour was a choice between Mamas or Papas. In Mamas, teams had to walk through the busy streets of Otuzco's marketplace to find five different shops and purchase nine ingredients used to prepare chicha, a Peruvian moonshine, from a provided recipe, then deliver them to an elderly lady known as La Señora de La Chicha. She would trade the ingredients for a glass of chicha that teams had to drink in order to receive their next clue. In Papas, teams traveled to a lush potato field and had to pack potatoes into bags. They then had to deliver the potatoes to a market and display each type of potato in a separate bin of a marked stall. Once these potatoes were perfectly arranged, the potato vendor would give teams their next clue. If the potatoes were incorrectly sorted, the stall would collapse and teams would have to start over.
  Additional tasks
  At Plaza de Armas, teams had to find a brass band master of ceremonies with their next clue. Teams that arrived at night would receive a departure time for the next day and could enjoy a fireworks festival called Festival de Fuerza.
  At Plazuela de la Merced, teams had find their next clue at "a shine with the morning sun", a shoeshine stand.
  At Parque Ramón Castillo in Otuzco, teams gave their sugarcane from the Roadblock to a fitness expert. Then, they used a chalkboard to write their activity data (steps and calories) from their Fitbit fitness watch device and used a calculator to calculate the steps needed to work off the 576 calories (2,410,000 J) from a sugarcane juice drink. Lastly, they had to drink a glass of sugarcane juice to receive their next clue from the fitness expert.
  After the Detour, teams had to walk to the Statue of Virgen de La Puerta beside Plaza De Armas for the Pit Stop.
  Additional note
  Teams were provided tickets for a flight to Trujillo but were under no obligation to use them.
