Eleven Teams depart Los Angeles for Chile, where Racers find themselves dangling 120 feet in the air, battling exhaustion and their fear of heights in order to stay alive in the game, and one Team discovers that Brazilian currency will not get them very far in Chile.

The nine remaining teams travel from Chile to Argentina, but one pair end up in an emergency room before they depart. In Argentina, the duos must rope a steer's horns and then choose between locating hidden treasure in a field or playing polo on a wooden horse.
