  For this leg's Roadblock, one team member had to cross a 65-foot (20 m) tightrope between the 35 story San Francisco Bay Towers, pick up their clue on the other tower, and then cross back to the first tower.
  This leg's Detour was a choice between Filet and Sole. In Filet, teams traveled to Panama's largest fish market, El Mercado de Mariscos, where they had to deliver fish to different marked stalls throughout the market. Each stall only accepted a certain kind of fish up to a certain weight. Once they were done with their deliveries, the fishmonger gave them their next clue. In Sole, teams traveled to the Salsipuedes Market where they had to find a sandals stall and use one piece of leather each to make the sole and strapping for a pair of sandals for a customer. Once the cobbler was satisfied, teams received their next clue.
  Additional tasks
  Before leaving Brussels, teams had to dress up as the two bumbling detective characters from the popular Belgian The Adventures of Tintin comics, and figure out one of the three names ("Thomson and Thompson", "Dupond and Dupont", or "Johnson and Johnston") by which the characters are known in Belgium. Then, using a photo given to them with the clue, teams had to find a man dressed as Tintin standing in front of a Tintin mural and tell him any one of the name variations of the characters they were dressed as in order to receive their next clue.
  At Parara Puru, teams signed up for one of four times the next morning within 15-minute intervals starting at 7:00 a.m. to receive a temporary tattoo that would reveal their next location: the San Francisco Bay Towers in Panama City.
  After the Roadblock, teams were given a riddle, "Success in Suez led him to Panama. His failure inspired others to succeed. Find him beneath a rooster and you'll find your next clue.", directing them to the statue of Ferdinand de Lesseps in Plaza de Francia.
  At Cathedral Square, teams had to find a group of tamborito dancers wearing pollera dresses and had to find the location of the Pit Stop, Panamá Viejo, which was etched on the dancers' necklaces and written on one dancer's dress.
