context_page_description: The sixth season of The Amazing Race is the sixth season of the Latin American version of the American reality show The Amazing Race. As in seasons prior, the show consisted of 11 teams of different nationalities competing, though for this season the Race took place entirely in Ecuador. The program was broadcast throughout Latin America on cable network Space, and in Ecuador on TC Televisión. The prize for the winning team was US$100,000, which was less than the prize given in previous seasons.
  The program was hosted once again by Toya Montoya, who was joined by Ecuadorian presenter Jaime Arellano. This is the first time in the worldwide history of the format that the Race was presented by a pair of hosts, as opposed to a single presenter.
  Brothers-in-law from Ecuador, Giovanni López and Juan Carlos Estrada, were the winners of the Race.

  In the first Roadblock of the leg, one team member had to dive into the water and search among the coral reefs for some artificial coral coloured with Race colours, which could then be traded for their next clue.
  In the second Roadblock of the leg, their teammate who did not perform the diving Roadblock had to help with reforesting efforts by planting 10 Scalesia trees in a marked area a long distance away to receive a CNT tablet with their next clue. They could only carry two tree saplings at a time along the marked path.
  Additional tasks
  At the beginning of the leg, teams were given a set of geographical coordinates and instructed to travel to the Claro Information Centre to look them up on the internet. The coordinates will lead them to Baltra Island, and they would get their next clue.
  At Itabaca Canal, teams would have to get into a kayak and paddle themselves across to Santa Cruz Island.
  At German Beach, teams would receive a questionnaire about the importance of the Galapagos Islands to humanity, and would have to search among many flags on the beach for the correct answers to these five questions. Once they had the five correct flags, teams would get their next clue.
  At Finca El Manzanillo, teams would find decorative giant tortoise shells. Teams had to pick up a Samsung Galaxy S5 and use the Dual Camera mode to take a selfie with a real tortoise in the background. When their photo was approved, teams would receive their next clue.
