These types of challenges often trigger meltdowns and fights among within teams.Ĭhallenges that require contestants to dress in traditional costumes also add to the full experience of visiting a country. In Seychelles, teams had to load a pile of coconuts into a cart which an ox then pulled to deliver the coconuts to a fruit merchant. In Paraguay, they had to carefully stack watermelons into a huge pyramid. In Vietnam, contestants had to catch 20 fish and cook them in order to get their next clue. In a Chinese workshop, teams had to sew a collar T-shirt. But to do it in a foreign country, trusting guides who speak a different language, and getting aerial views of countries like Chile, Argentina, or Zambia is another story.Ĭhallenges in developing countries always provide insight on what the lives and jobs of the locals look like, and they are usually physically and mentally exhausting. Skydiving, bungee jumping and paragliding are, as it is, enriching life experiences. But in addition to the traveling and running from one clue to the next, there are some types of challenges that are truly culturally enriching for contestants. The Amazing Race is known for pushing contestants out of their comfort zone and exposing them to different cultures and traditions around the globe.
