The Amazing Race 6 (also known as The Amazing Race: Ecuador and The Amazing Race on Space 4) is the sixth season of the Latin American version of the American reality show The Amazing Race. As in seasons prior, the show consisted of 11 teams of different nationalities competing, though this season took place entirely in Ecuador. The program was broadcast throughout Latin America on cable network Space, and in Ecuador on TC Televisión. The prize for the winning team was US$100,000, which was 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 a season was presented by a pair of hosts, as opposed to a single presenter.
Brothers-in-law from Ecuador, Giovanni López and Juan Carlos Estrada were the winners of this season.
