The Amazing Race 5 (also known as The Amazing Race on Space 3) is the fifth season of The Amazing Race , a Latin American reality competition show based on the American series The Amazing Race and the third installment of Space's iteration of the show. Hosted by Toya Montoya, it featured eleven teams of two, each with a pre-existing relationship, in a race across Latin America to win US$250,000. This season visited two continents and six countries and travelled over 12,600 kilometres (7,800 mi) during twelve legs. Starting in Cartagena, teams travelled through Colombia, Peru, Curaçao, the Dominican Republic, Panama and Mexico before finishing in Chiapa de Corzo. This season returned to the regular format by featuring teams from all over Latin America and not only from Brazil, unlike the previous season. This season premiered on Space and TNT on 16 September 2013 at 9:00 p.m. (UTC−3), and the season finale aired on Space and TNT on 9 December 2013 at 9:00 p.m. (UTC−3).

Notes
  1. a b c d e Four of the nine teams arrived at the Pit Stop after applied 2-hour penalties for failing to complete the second Roadblock (Esther, Jessica, Beto, and Ezequiel) The initial placements for all teams are as follows (the five boldfaced teams were not given the penalty):
    1st: Débora & Renata; 2nd: Darío & Esther; 3rd: Jessica & Michelle; 4th: Beto & Juanjo; 5th: Braian & Karina; 6th: Manfred & Pierre; 7th: Evelyn & Jorge; 8th: Ezequiel & Tobías; 9th: Astrid & Aleja
  2. a b Evelyn & Jorge use their Express Pass to bypass the second Roadblock in Leg 3. Before using the Express Pass, Evelyn elected to perform the Roadblock; this is reflected in the total Roadblock count.
  3. a b Astrid & Aleja and Débora & Renata initially arrived 6th and 7th, respectively, but both teams were each issued 15-minute penalties for traveling by mototaxi instead of by taxi to the Club Deportivo Caza y Pesca as instructed on the clue. While Astrid & Aleja's placement was dropped to 7th, Débora & Renata's placement was dropped to last place; however, they were notified the leg was non-elimination, and the remaining penalty would be assessed at the start of the next leg.
  4. ^ Leg 5 was a double-elimination leg. The last two teams to be checked in at the Pit Stop were both eliminated.
  5. ^ Evelyn & Jorge initially arrived 2nd, but were issued a 15-minute penalty for not dropping their belongings in the marked area during the additional task in the Club Universitario de Regatas. Ezequiel & Tobias checked-in during the penalty time, dropping Evelyn & Jorge to 3rd.
  6. ^ Astrid & Aleja used their Express Pass given to them by Evelyn & Jorge to bypass an additional task in the Club Universitario de Regatas during leg 5. Later, they arrived 7th at the Pit Stop, but were issued a 1-hour penalty for failing to complete the Roadblock. This did not affect their placement, since the remaining teams arrived at the time were unable to check in due to penalties accumulated during the leg (see note 7).
  7. a b Débora & Renata and Beto & Juanjo initially arrived 6th and 8th, respectively, but both teams were each issued 2-hour penalties for refusing to complete the additional task in the Club Universitario de Regatas. Débora & Renata were further issued their 30-minute penalty for not completing correctly the additional task where they had to make an Amazing Race flag. While Beto & Juanjo's placement was not affected by the penalty, Débora & Renata's placement was dropped to last place; as both teams were the last two teams to check-in at the double-elimination leg (see note 4), both teams were eliminated.
  8. a b Ezequiel & Tobías and Karina & Braian initially arrived 1st and 6th, respectively, but both teams were each issued 30-minute penalties for reaching the first Roadblock location before retrieving their clue from the cluebox. While Karina & Braian's placement was not affected by the penalty, Ezequiel & Tobias's placement was dropped to 3rd.
  9. ^ All the teams (except Darío & Esther) did not realise that they had to light a candle for Saint Michael at the San Miguel Church as indicated on a sign, and were forced to backtrack and light the candle before being allowed to check in.
  10. a b c Ezequiel & Tobias (who initially arrived 2nd) and Jessica & Michelle (4th) were each issued 30-minute penalties for exceeding the speed-limit while driving during the course of the leg. Their placements were dropped to 4th and 5th place, respectively. Evelyn & Jorge were eligible to be penalized for the same infraction, but they were the last team to arrive to the Pit Stop, resulting in their elimination.
  11. ^ Manfred & Pierre failed to complete an additional task at the Lienzo Charro Ignacio Zermeño. After all the other teams had already checked in at the Pit Stop, Toya came out to their location to inform them of their elimination.
  12. ^ Leg 12 was a double-length leg. It featured a Virtual Pit Stop and had one Detour (first half) and two Roadblocks shown over two episodes.

The prize for each leg is awarded to the first place team for that leg.
