Detour: Dig or Dance
In Dig, teams must make their way by cab to the Ancient Ruins of Tazumal in Santa Ana. There they must participate in an archeological dig, until they find two items: the clue, and a picture/map that they will need later (the picture is of a mosque in the ancient city of Chinguetti, Mauritania, which will be visited later in the race.)

In Dance, teams must travel to Belgrano Square in the heart of San Salvador. Once they arrive, they must wear traje, ceremonial clothing, and take part of a performance of a traditional El Slavador dance, Dance of the Chapetones. Once they have danced to the satisfaction of the head dancer, they will receive their next clue and a picture that they will need in a later leg (the picture is of a mosque in the ancient city of Chinguetti, Mauritania, which will be visited later in the race.)

Roadblock: The Pier Market in the town of Puerto De La Libertad is one of the biggest fish markets in El Salvador. Teams must navigate the fish market with a wheelbarrow and successfully deliver five types of fish to five different vendors around the market. They must get the exact weight and fish type right on their first try, or they must start the roadblock all over again. Once they successfully completed the task, the fishmonger will hand them their next clue.
