Mendoza vineyard

Wine, bunjee jumping and the effects of wine:
Still in the scenic Mendoza area, the players face additional physical and mental challenges as they compete in their next missions: in a vineyard hunting bottles of Malbec, then bungee jumping over the Rio Mendoza.

With only one woman remaining in the Final Six, the next person executed is a surprise to all but one player.

Merida, Venezuela Squeezed between two mountain ranges and two rivers, Mérida is a charming university town, with attractions and activities of both a cultural and scenic nature to tempt students and visitors alike. The cable car to the top of Pico Espejo is not to be missed; neither are tours onto the neighboring paramos, or rugged moors.

Click on the link or the photo for more information about this scenic locale.
