The Amazing Race Latin America 6 (also known as The Amazing Race on Space 4) is the sixth season of the Latin American version of the U.S. reality show The Amazing Race. As in seasons prior, the show will consist of 11 teams of different nationalities competing, though for this season the race takes place entirely in Ecuador. The program broadcast throughout Latin America on cable network Space, and in Ecuador on TC Televisión. The prize for the winning team will be $100,000, significantly less than the prize given in previous seasons.
The program was hosted once again by Toya Montoya, who was joined by Ecuadorian presenter Jaime Arellano. This is the first time in the worldwide history of the format that the race is presented by a pair of hosts, as opposed to a single presenter.
Casting for this season was held from 1 May to 10 July 2014 for Latin America. Filming began in late July, to finish in August 2014. The cast was revealed on 28 July 2014.
The premiere of the new season aired in October 2014, airing in Latin America on Space, and in Ecuador on TC Televisión.

In this leg's Detour, teams chose between Armar (Assemble) and Tejer (Weave). In Armar, teams had to travel to the market and properly set up a stall using a completed stall for reference. Once it was perfect, teams would get their next clue. In Tejer, teams made their way to the Intercultural Center. There, they would have to use a loom to weave four traditional friendship bracelets that each followed a specific pattern. For each Detour, there were only five workstations available. In the Roadblock, one team member had to load wool into a traditional carrying sack and search the area for Josefina, who would give them natural soap made from water and aloe to wash the wool with. They then had to climb up to the washing station to receive their next clue.

In this leg's first Roadblock, one team member had to climb the high-altitude ropes and agility course above the lodge. They had to make their way to many stations on the course, each of which was marked with a number. Teams had to add up the numbers to reach a total of 24 before leaping off a tall platform and getting their next clue. In the second Roadblock, whoever did not perform the first one had to complete the Cotopaxi ropes course and retrieve a flag from the end. The flag could be exchanged for a Samsung Tablet with their next clue on it.
