Legend:      The team finished in first place      The team finished in last place and was eliminated from the race      The team finished in last place in a non-elimination leg      The team that won The Amazing Race      The team that crossed the Finish Line second      The team that crossed the Finish Line third ϵ The team used the Express Pass somewhere during the leg ⊂ The team used the U-Turn ⊃ Recipient of the U-Turn ⋐ The team that used the second slot of the "Double U-Turn" ⋑ Recipient of a second U-Turn due to the "Double U-Turn" twist
Notes: 1: Stefanía & Felipe and Martín & Jenny initially arrived in 1st and 2nd respectively, but received a 30-minute penalty for not washing the wool in the marked area during the Roadblock. They fell to 4th and 5th place respectively. 2: Carlos & Orlando were given a 1-hour penalty for interfering with the model during the Armar Detour. However, since they arrived in last, they were eliminated without serving the penalty. 3: Audi was hospitalized during the third leg after it was discovered she had internal injuries resulting from her fall during the leg 1 Roadblock. Toya came to the hospital to eliminate her and David. 4: Juan & Cecilia used their Express Pass to bypass the Detour on leg 4. 5: Juan & Cecilia initially arrived in 2nd, but received a 15-minute penalty because they ignored the instructions in their clue and released their taxi at the U-Turn location. This did not affect their placement. 6: Sonia & Gabriel did not complete the second half of the Detour after being U-Turned and received a 2-hour penalty. However, as they were last place on a non-elimination leg, they were allowed to check in and the penalty would be applied to the start of the next leg. 7: Stefanía & Felipe used their Express Pass to bypass the second Roadblock on leg 6. Before using the pass, Stefanía elected to perform the Roadblock and this is reflected in the Roadblock count. 8: Martín & Jenny initially arrived in 3rd, but received a 30-minute penalty because they got on the bus after it had departed from the bus station. They fell to 4th after Giovanni & Juan Carlos checked in. 9: Nicolas & Javier and Giovanni & Juan Carlos initially arrived in 1st and 2nd, respectively, but each received a 30-minute penalty for taking the rubber padding out of their hats during the final challenge of the leg. Neither placement was affected.
