Desafío is a reality show in which a number of participants should survive, live together, and compete in 4 different stages, for a big price in money. These contestants are grouped into three teams according to the theme chosen in each season. Social classes, generations, regions of the country and the degree of popularity are the elements used to give identity to these groups. Another one of the characteristics of the Challenge and which encloses the success of this format is that the conditions of life in this competition are not fair. While a group spends its day in a beach house with servants, exquisite delicacies (High Beach), the other group suffers the complete lack of accommodation and food (Low Beach). In this reality, as in real life, the teams would be able to exceed or fall on their comfort levels, depending on the performance in the territorial Challenges.
It was the first season of the hit reality show. For this they called former participants of Expedition Robinson, and Expedition Robinson: the challenge to integrate the group of survivors, celebrities, were composed by famous people in Colombia and challenging for people chosen at casting.
It was a reality show broadcast by Caracol, in 2005, sequel to the first season was a success; but shares similar characteristics with Survivor, the most important is that competition develops at sites near the sea, are not equal formats thus potential lawsuits by copyright were never carried out.
A significant change was made, were not chosen in the same way the participants, but all were chosen by casting based on their social status, with the PRIVILEGED the upper class, the gleaners the middle class and CARRIED the class come down.
The reality is focused on the survival of 24 participants on an island (Bocas del toro Panama) further divided into 3 teams of 8 people, which are grouped according to their age or generation. Teams according to their generation are called: Pelados (18-25 years old) Cuchachos (26-38 years old) and Catanos (39-49 years old) who compete as a group in the first stage of the game against other teams.
They chose 5 teams instead of the usual 3, participants were chosen based on their region of origin.
6 Teams, Los Cachacos, Los Costeños, Los Paisas, Los Santandereanos, Los Vallunos; as in the previous season, and Los Emigrantes, consisting of Colombian International team.
This season each region has six participants. Four regions will be disintegrated in the initial stage. Representatives will continue in these regions are chosen by individual competition rather than election by the group, as in the two previous editions. This time every two representatives from each region deleted, plus an additional participant selected among all participants who had been eliminated in the individual competition. Alongside the two regions that were not disintegrated team competed Survivors, composed of representatives of the disintegrated regions.
This edition featured three speakers instead of two, as usual. The slabs were removed for security reasons and were replaced by caves. The team of migrants will not be in this edition and will be replaced by the Challengers team, consisting of participants residing in regions of Colombia than those who took part in previous editions. This year they integrated five participants from previous challenges, one for each of the traditional regions of the challenge, competing for three additional quotas.
In this Challenge 6 teams competed: Costeños, Cachacos, Antioqueños (in previous challenges they were called Paisas) Santandereanos, Vallecaucanos and for the first time, Cafeteros (coming from the coffee belt).
It consisted of 21 participants competing (7 famous, 7 ex-participants and 7 unknown), divided into 3 teams: Celebrities, Survivors and Challengers.

The Desafío searched 42 people from different regions of Colombia with different abilities, but with something in common: love for the sport. The teams will consist of six regions: Antioqueños, Cachacos, Cafeteros, Costeños, Santandereanos and Vallecaucanos, each consisting of seven people who will test their strength, courage and strength in the different competitions.
In this season, 36 participants will compete divided into 6 teams: Costeños, Santandereanos, Cafeteros, Antioqueños, Vallecaucanos and Cachacos. A seventh team was formed in the first episode with five contestants kicked off other teams during the first competition; This team is called "Los Desterrados" and is led by Osmin Hernández, the Cuban celebrity trainer also known as the "Psychotrainer."
42 athletes will compete divided into 7 teams: Costeños, Cafeteros, Antioqueños, Vallecaucanos, Cachacos, Santandereanos (who were eliminated in the first episode after losing the Regional Challenge) and Súper Humans (made up of former participants from the last two seasons of the reality show). An eighth group will be formed during the competition by those contestants who are eliminated in the Death Challenge; This is called "Los Desterrados" and is led by Osmin Hernández, the Cuban celebrity trainer also known as the "Psychotrainer." Another important observation is the fact that the Banished will not form a team as such, but rather its members will wait for another participant to be injured or expelled, with the hope of returning to the game.
In the competitions, the traditional teams of Costeños, Cafeteros, Antioqueños, Vallecaucanos, Cachacos and Santandereanos will face each other; However, for this occasion, four other teams will join with regions that had never participated before: Amazonians, Llaneros, Tolima Grande and Pastusos.10 Initially, it had been thought of including 12 regions, made up of the previous ten, plus the department of Boyacá (Boyacos), and a dispute that would be played between the Chocó region (Chocoanos) and the Colombian insular region, that is, coming from the Islands of San Andrés and Providencia (Isleños); Finally, only ten regions were chosen due to a limit established on the number of participants in the reality show and, later, the non-participation of these groups was officially confirmed before the casting took place. Additionally, for this version each region will be made up of 4 members (2 men and 2 women), instead of 6.
In the competitions it was planned that the teams from Amazónico, Antioqueños, Cachacos, Cafeteros, Costeños, Llaneros, Pastusos, Santandereanos, Tolima Grande and Vallecaucanos would face each other; counting on the addition of a new region with challengers from the department of Boyacá, who would form a group called "Boyacenses"; However, the Alpha, Beta and Gamma teams were organized through a "test-election" system, in which whoever won the test would be the first to choose who was the next member of their team, and finally an individual test that would make up the Omega team, made up of the best fourth women and four men among the participants who They were not chosen to perform the test.
The competition brought together 44 participants from different areas of the country, who were divided according to their region of origin, forming the teams of Amazónico, Antioqueños, Boyacenses, Cachacos, Cafeteros, Costeños, Llaneros, Pastusos, Santandereanos, Tolima Grande and Vallecaucanos . During the first day, 8 of them were eliminated, to make way for the formation of three new groups: Alpha, Beta and Gamma; each one made up, initially, of 6 men and 6 women. However, the number of challenges within the teams was reduced to only 8, so those eliminated by the captains' decision had to face an individual test that ended up defining the contestants who would be part of the resurgent Omega team.
The competition brought together 32 participants from various areas of the country. However, for the first time since 2015, these were not initially divided according to their region of origin. In an inaugural test, contestants will fight to form the Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Omega teams. Likewise, according to the order of arrival, they will receive money to start the season. Each of the groups will have their own house, which will be equipped with multiple benefits, such as beds, swimming pools, a complete food market, public services, among others. However, unlike the previous two versions, this time they will have to use part of the money earned to periodically pay a kind of "lease". Those who lose and do not have enough capital to cover the debt will be forced to head to Playa Baja, where they will not find any supplies to survive for the next few days.
