Leg 1 (United States → Brazil)
Airdate: September 25, 2015[10]
- Los Angeles, California, United States (Venice Beach) (Starting Line)
- Marina del Rey (Mother's Beach to Burton Chace Park)
- Los Angeles (Los Angeles International Airport) to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (Rio de Janeiro–Galeão International Airport)
- Lagoa (Lagoa Heliport)
- Rio de Janeiro (Christ the Redeemer)
- Copacabana (Copacabana Beach)
- Rio de Janeiro (Arpoador Lookout)
At the start of The Amazing Race 27, in public view in Venice Beach, California, Phil Keoghan told the eleven teams where they would travel first: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Their first task was to take a taxi to Mother's Beach in Marina del Rey and grab a Schiller water-bike. Then, they would drive it to Burton Chace Park. The first team to complete this task would receive the only tickets on the first flight while all the other teams would be on the second flight, departing half an hour later.
Upon arriving in Rio de Janeiro, teams had to travel to Lagoa Heliport to get either a Route Info or a Fast Forward clue. For the Fast Forward, teams made their way to Clube São Conrado Free Flight where they had to ride a hang glider from Pedra Bonita and soar above the city. The teams who did not go for the Fast Forward had to pick a number and take a helicopter past Christ the Redeemer on the way to Urca Hill. Once landed, the helicopter manager would ask the teams, "What's the name of the monument you passed during the flight?" If teams gave the right answer, which was Christ the Redeemer, they would receive their next clue.
The clue was a Detour, and the teams choose between Sand or Sidewalk. Both Detours had teams travel to Copacabana Beach where they changed into swimsuits. In Sand, teams had to play footvolley against local professional players. While the pros could not use their hands, the teams could. If teams can score six points before the pros scored eighteen, they will receive their next clue. In Sidewalk, teams had to do a giant geometric slide puzzle derived from the famous Copacabana pavement (a Portuguese pavement). Once teams completed the puzzle, they would receive their next clue. Both clues then directed teams to Arpoador Lookout for the Pit Stop.
Leg 2 (Brazil → Argentina)
Airdate: October 2, 2015[11]

- San Isidro (Calle Bartolomé Mitre – AEREA 1º Escuela Mundial de Danza Aerea Template:Es icon)
- Palermo (Campo Argentino de Polo)
At the start of the leg, teams were told to fly to Buenos Aires, the capital city of Argentina. Upon arrival in Buenos Aires, teams had to locate the church where Pope Francis was baptized, leaving them to figure out that this refers to Basílica María Auxiliadora y San Carlos. Once at the church, teams had to pick a number in the order in which they arrived. The following morning, teams went inside the church, one at a time, to find the altar room, where the priest would give them their next clue.
The clue was for the Detour, giving teams the choice of Cartoneros or Fletero. In Cartoneros, teams traveled to the Villa Crespo neighborhood at the intersection of Uriarte, Fray Justo Santa Maria and El Salvador Streets, where they had to pick up a cart, collect cardboard from recyclable bins, and transport it to a truck to be weighed. Once the cardboard reached a total weight of at least 100 kilograms (220 lb), the garbage worker would give them their next clue. However, there were only 8 carts available at a time. In Fletero, teams traveled to Plaza Dorrego and made their way to a Gabriel del Campo Antique Shop to pick up a statue, in pieces, and bring it to a truck. One team member would sit in the front and give the driver directions, while the other would hold the statue pieces in the back until reaching their next destination, the gazebo at Plaza Intendente Sebeer. Once they arrive at the park, they must bring all of the statue pieces, re-assemble them properly, and show the park director. If it's correct, they would get their next clue.
The clues after the Detour instructed teams to travel to Calle Bartolomé Mitre to search for the cluebox with their next clue, the Roadblock, asking "Who wants to go sideways?" One team member had to learn a tango routine with a twist, for the second half of the dance they were harnessed and had to finish the steps on the wall of a stage. Once they performed the entire routine correctly, they would receive their next clue, directing them to "The Cathedral of Polo", referring to Campo Argentino de Polo, for the Pit Stop.

At the start of the leg, teams traveled by bus to the rural town of San Antonio de Areco in the Pampas region. Upon arrival, they had to choose a pickup truck to proceed to their next destination, La Porteña, and their next clue. At the La Porteña ranch, teams received the Roadblock that asked, "Who's smoking hot?" One team member had to properly hang two racks of lamb and one rack of beef ribs onto a set of metal grills to cook the meat asado style. Once the meats were secured on all sides, skewered properly, with the bones oriented in the correct direction, to the head cook's standards, he would give them their next clue.
After the Roadblock, teams had to bring a roasted lamb and travel to Plaza Principal and deliver it to the judges in order to receive their next clue. The clue was for a gaucho-inspired Detour: Horse or Carriage. In Horse, teams had to pick a polo mallet from the plaza, walk to Boliche de Bessonart to change into polo gear. Then, they had to walk to a riverside across the bridge and pick out a fake horse where they must tack it properly and then push it back to the plaza. In Carriage, teams had to pick a buggy whip from the plaza, travel by foot to La Cinacina Estancia. There they had to change into Gaucho clothing, clean a carriage and then push it to a team of waiting horses. Once the horses are harnessed to the buggy, they had to ride back to the plaza. At the end of both Detours, they had to present either the fake horse or whip to the judges and receive their next clue, instructing them to travel by foot to the Pit Stop at Parque Criollo y Museo Gauchesco Ricardo Güiraldes.
