Meet the 11 new teams for Season 20

This season -- the 20th sprint around the globe for the series -- will make first-time visits to Paraguay, Azerbaijan and other exotic locations. Along the way, the teams will travel through five continents, 22 cities and nearly 40,000 miles. "The Amazing Race" premieres Sunday, Feb. 19, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.

This season's racers will endure one of the most competitive courses ever, as they find themselves skydiving in Argentina, training with the Masai warriors in Tanzania, racing through Africa's "Garden of Eden," putting their taste buds to the test with one of Italy's most popular cuisines and searching for King Ludwig's quarters in the German castle that served as the inspiration for the castle in "Sleeping Beauty."
