The Amazing Race
The Challenge:
1. Start in Lençóis Maranhenses, the state on the northeastern coasts, at the edge of the sand dunes nearest to the oceans. This will be a detour, and both members will have to walk ten miles, directly south, through the sand dunes. You will be given one compass to share, and one bottle of water and one 2 ounce bag of pretzels each. You will find a red flag when you have reached the ten mile distance.
2. There will be a basket on the sand next to the flag. This basket will contain one coil of wire, matches, a one foot squared piece of tinfoil, and apiece of paper. The paper will tell you this: This next challenge is a roadblock. Choose one member of your team to build a contraption, using any or all of the items given, that will attract attention for your rescue. Once you have attracted attention, a helicopter will come to your aid.
3. The helicopter will take you to west to the north west portion of the country and drop you off at Manaus, the base camp for excursions into the jungle. This challenge is a detour. You will be given a picture of the acai berry and the tree it grows in, as well as a basket. You will have five hours to find an acai tree, fill the basket with berries, and make your way back to camp Manaus. This will be the check-in point for the challenge. If you make it, you will have successfully completed the challenge.
