caption_attribution_description: Español: Debido al interés entre Panamá y Francia se tomó la iniciativa, para que en la parte interior de lo que era la fortaleza militar Chiriquí, se realizara un reconocimiento a los franceses, que en la década de 1880 dieran inicio a la gran empresa canalera, y en honor a este acontecimiento, surge lo que hoy conocemos como la Plaza de Francia. Cabe señalar que en dicha plaza, se fusiló a Victoriano Lorenzo, líder guerrillero coclesano, (nacido en la Provincia de Coclé, República de Panamá), que defendió desde muy joven los derechos de los desfavorecidos. Al fondo de la plaza hay doce paneles de mármol que relatan la aventura canalera francesa, fuente de inspiración del Doctor Octavio Méndez Pereira, también encontramos los bustos de los franceses Armando Reclus y Lucien Napoleón Bonaparte Wyse, y, por supuesto el busto de Ferdinand De Lesseps. Un hermoso obelisco, rematado con un gallo, símbolo de Francia, le da un toque personal a la plaza. This is a picture of the panamanian cultural heritage monument with the ID 08-078-DMHN

  In this leg's Detour, teams had to choose between Tierra (Earth) and Agua (Water). In Tierra, both team members had to ride an all-terrain vehicle on a course while looking for their clue under one of many buckets, with only a few containing clues and the rest containing hourglasses. If teams found an hourglass instead of a clue, they would have to wait until the sand went from one side of the hourglass to the other before continuing their search. In Agua, one team member at a time had to ride a wakeboard while being towed by an electronic mechanism from one side of a lagoon to the other without falling from the board, and then returning in the same way to the starting point. Once both team members had completed this task successfully, they would receive their next clue.
  In this leg's Roadblock, one team member had to search among the classified ads of fifty newspapers for the one containing their next clue. This ad instructed teams to make their way to the next Pit Stop, the helipad of the Bayfront Tower.
  Additional task
  At the Scotiabank ATM, teams had to get their leg money, US$260, from the automated teller machine.
