  São Paulo (Edifício Copan – Bloco F) 
   São Paulo (Terminal Rodoviário Barra Funda – Terminal Turístico) to Brotas (Terminal Rodoviário de Brotas)
   Brotas (Camping Bela Vista or Usina Jacaré)
  Brotas (Fazenda Primavera da Serra (in Portuguese)) 
  In the first Roadblock of the Race, one racer from each team had to climb one of three stairwells on the building's fire escape. Once at the top, they would put on a harness and rappel 400 feet (120 m) down the building to receive their next clue. The order which they arrived at the top determined the order of descent.
  The Detour was a choice between Press It or Climb It. In Press It, teams had to drive to Camping Bela Vista to process raw sugar cane and distill its juice. Then, teams had to make 500 milliliters of ethanol to fuel their cars as an alternative fuel source. After completing the task, teams poured the newly created ethanol into their cars and the chemist handed them their next clue. In Climb It, teams traveled to Usina Jacaré and hiked to a nearby waterfall. Once there, they climbed 90 feet (27 m) up a waterfall using mechanical ascenders to the top to receive their next clue
  Additional tasks
  At the start of the leg, teams traveled to Edificio Copan and have to search for Bloco F for the next clue.
  After completing the Roadblock, teams traveled to Terminal Rodoviário Barra Funda and had to find tickets for one of three charter buses to Brotas departing at 10:15 a.m., 11:15 a.m., or 12:15 p.m. Upon arrival, teams would find a Volkswagen Beetle and their next clue.
