Notes:
1: Andre & Nico arrived 5th, but received a 15-minute penalty because Andre lost her Uruguayan arrival-departure document. This did not affect their placement.
2: Rosario & Pablo arrived 6th, but received a 15-minute penalty because Pablo popped his balloon and didn't go to get a new one in the Detour. The last two teams checked in during the penalty time, dropping their placement to last; however they were notified as a non-elimination leg, thus the remaining penalty time would be accessed at the start of the next leg.
3: Rosario & Pablo did not complete the Detour. Already in last place, they were allowed to check into the Pit Stop without being issued the penalty and were eliminated.
4: Felipe & Alejandro elected to use the Express Pass to bypass an additional task in the Puritama hot springs in Leg 7.
5: Felipe & Alejandro and Toya & Juan del Mar arrived 3rd and 4th, respectively, but both received a 15-minute penalty as they were caught speeding, dropping their placements to 4th and 5th, respectively.
6: Felipe & Alejandro, Maxi & Demi, and Kathy & Rick arrived 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, respectively, but received a 1-hour penalty as they were caught speeding. This did not affect their placements.
7: Leg 12 was a double-length leg with one Detour and two Roadblocks and was shown over two episodes.
