Episode summary (Episode 33)

• At the start of this leg, the swapped teams met with Yehuda on Paseo de los Héroes Navales and were instructed to find their next clue on a marked pickup truck outside of the Sheraton Lima Historic Center. Teams were then driven to the Chilca Dunes, where they had to sandboard down a marked slope to receive their next clue sending them to Plaza de Toros de Acho.
• Once at the bullring, teams had to dress as a bull with each racer facing an opposite direction and stand in the center of a circle. Teams then had three minutes to knock down three matador cutouts, each of each rose up for four seconds, to receive their next clue, which instructed them to travel by taxi to Malecón Grau.

Episode summary (Episode 34)

• For this leg's Duel, two teams had to take part in a Cajamarca Carnival tradition and throw water balloons filled with paint at each other and onto a paint canvas. The first team to throw seven balloons onto a canvas received their next clue, while the losing team had to wait for their next opponents. The team that lost the final Duel had to wait out a 15-minute penalty. Adi & Mai lost the final Duel.
• After the Duel, teams had to travel to Santa Marina Market and convince 15 people to board a bus from the market to the Compañía Italiana de Bomberos Garibaldi N°6 fire station with a fare of one Peruvian sol. If a passenger left before they reached the fire station, teams had to find a new person to ride the bus. After reaching their destination and disembarking all their passengers, teams found their next clue outside of Puntarenas Restaurant.
• Once at the restaurant, teams received a letter and had to decipher their next location. Teams had to figure out from the letterhead "CodeInTheNo." that they had to use to phone number on the letter (945-816-298). Each digit corresponded to a word on a line of the letter (ex. the second digit 4 referred to the fourth word on the second line of the letter). Once teams decoded "You must reach the central square where your final clue awaits you" ("עליכם להגיע לכיכר המרכזית שם ממתין לכם הרמז האחרון"), they had to travel to Plaza de Armas.

Episode summary (Episode 35)

• After teams arrived at Plaza de Armas, they faced one more task as individuals. Racers had to search among 150 National Symphony Orchestra musicians for one who was faking their performance. Once both racers from an original team found a correct musician, they could check in at the Pit Stop.

Episode summary (Episode 36)

• At the start of this leg, teams were instructed to fly to Montevideo, Uruguay. Once there, teams were released from the Aloft by Marriott Montevideo Hotel and instructed to travel to the parking lot of the Punta Brava Lighthouse. There, one team member had to direct their partner to drive a collector vehicle out of a lot with nine other cars. Much like Rush Hour, racers could only move the surrounding cars either forwards or backwards.
• After freeing their car, teams received a tablet with a video of Yehuda dressed as Carlos Gardel in front of a bar set to Gardel's song "Por una cabeza". Teams had to figure out that they had to drive to Gardel's statue outside of Bar Facal to find their next clue. Teams were then instructed to find their next clue using the hint "it takes two to tango". One racer had to sit on the empty seat next to the Gardel statue and spot the reflection of a sign that read "The clue is here" ("הרמז כאן") across the street. Teams then had to find the sign on an apartment building adjacent to the Bar Facal and find an apartment with their next clue, which instructed them to drive to El Establo.
