  In this leg's Roadblock, one team member had to complete an obstacles circuit with their hands tied, crawling over a pool with water, digging on the sand with their feet until they found a figurine, and then digging with their feet to make enough space to go under a tree trunk to receive their next clue.
  For their Speed Bump, Evelyn & Jorge had to eat one plate of mofongo each before they could continue racing.
  In this leg's Detour, teams had to choose between Distancia (Distance) and Precisión (Accuracy). In Distancia, each team member had to hit five golf balls at least 200 yards (180 m) away to receive their next clue. In Precisión, each team member had to hit a golf ball to the hole in no more than two hits. Once each team member sunk five balls in the hole, they would get their next clue.
  Additional task
  At the 27 Charcos de la Damajagua, teams had to complete a circuit in which they had to climb small waterfalls and then return sliding down the waterfalls and in some cases jumping off them. Then, teams had to collect two small bags with coins and deposit them on a Scotiabank piggy bank. Once teams completed the course, they would receive their next clue from their guide.
