- The nine remaining teams travel from Puerto Varas, Chile to Bariloche, Argentina. Some people become physically exhausted at one of the Detour choices, while at the other option, others find it mentally challenging to follow directions in a search for buried loot.—Allister Coots
- Open with Jet & Cord reading about the first trip of this leg: Teams will take one of two buses through the Andes mountains to an old saloon (El Boliche Viejo) in Argentina where they must win a hand of poker against the mascot of a national travel website. Only the first three teams will get on the first bus.
While waiting for the bus, Jet & Cord ask some locals for directions to the saloon.
We cut in on fourth-placers Brent & Caite and see they both appear to be suffering from food poisoning. They are dehydrated and vomiting and end up going to the Puerot Varas hospital to get some IV fluids instead of starting the race. They get to the bus station and realize that starting the leg three hours late won't really cost them any time.
