6:40 AM. The 7:00 AM plane was delayed forty-five minutes, so all of the teams on that flight took the 7:40 flight with almost all of the rest of the teams. Susan and Patrick, Debbie and Bianca, and Rob and Amber were on the 6:00 flight.
Meredith and Gretchen. Surprisingly, Meredith and Gretchen fared better than most of the other teams doing this task and they arrived at the pit stop in sixth place. The other task during this Detour was called "Rope a Basket" and teams participating in that task had to carry heavy baskets of alfalfa on their backs for two thirds of a mile to receive their clue.
Debbie and Bianca. Debbie and Bianca received ten thousand dollars each for arriving at the first pit stop in first place. They departed at approximately 10:30 pm the following night.
Ryan and Chuck. Ron and Kelly narrowly defeated Ryan and Chuck, and although the final position came down to mere seconds, Ryan and Chuck were the first team eliminated.

35 pounds – 2/3 mile. The baskets were full of alfalfa and had to be delivered to Tienda Victoria Valdivia, a store in the market. (I paused the video to get the spelling from the sign at the store.) The teams that chose "Rope a Llama" had to take two llamas to a pen to receive their next clue. It was not said how far they had to guide the llamas.
Debbie and Bianca. Debbie and Bianca were the first team to arrive at the detour. They had not decided on the task to perform when the second team arrived.
