Although the Gaghans also drove to Pier 14, the Paolos were able to complete the task first.
Panama. Teams departed from the fourth pit stop at Preservation Hall in New Orleans, and finally flew out of the United States. The Bransens, Linzes and Paolos flew to Panama on the first flight, and the Weavers, Gaghans, and Godlewskis arrived two and a half hours later.

In this task, they had to find a clue box containing a certain bearing which they needed to find on their compass. They would then need to follow their different clues to the end where they would receive their clue.
