most hostile environments
on the planet.

And in this unique event that's
been translated from French,
two Europeans will take on
the 21-day survival challenge.
I can't take this anymore!
- Ugh! Damn it!
- This is not good.
It begins! Aah!
Narrator: This is "Naked and
Afraid: Foreign Exchange."
in the far corners
of South America,
this is one of the most
remote reaches of Colombia,
where two strangers
will have to survive.
Despite its exceptional
beauty, this jungle is home
to some of the most dangerous
creatures on the planet.
It is teeming with
deadly snakes,
caimans, jaguars, and insects.
In this place, danger
is everywhere.
The climate is challenging.
Temperatures can approach
104 degrees fahrenheit,
with a relative humidity
usually above 80%.
After sunset, temperatures
drop to a chilly 64 degrees.
These extreme
fluctuations are not easy
for the human body to tolerate.
Our two survivalists
will have to adapt
in order to face this
hostile environment.
Marie's interpreter:
My name is Marie.
I'm 45 years old.
I live in Vichy, France, and
I'm a telephone operator.
My passion is trail running,
which consists of running
on any unpaved surface.
What I like is to
challenge myself.
I need to feel that sort of pain
that suddenly becomes pleasure.
This is a real jungle.
This adventure will be
very rewarding for me
because it will allow
me to know myself better.
It will make me
stronger in life,
stronger in my running,
and to make my
children proud of me.
I'll show them that I can do it.
This will be the experience
of a lifetime for sure.
Narrator: It's time for
Marie to continue alone.
But first, she'll have to
leave her clothes behind.
Marie's interpreter: Taking
one's clothes off in the wild
is like a rebirth.
We're born naked,
so in a way, that's it.
I'm going back to nature.
Here we go.
Olivier's interpreter:
My name is Olivier.
I'm 31 years old. I'm a mason.
I'm from Belgium.
I have two beautiful
kids and a wonderful wife.
I decided to take
on this adventure
because I've always
loved playing in the forest,
pretending to be
Robinson Crusoe.
Whenever I go on
survival adventures,
I usually take
minimal equipment.
But here in this
environment, I don't know.
I'm gonna have to push myself.
I may look a bit
scrawny, but in the end,
I'm extremely resourceful.
Survival here in Colombia
is certain to be complicated.
It's going to be hard,
but I want to make
my brother proud.
He died young and never
had the chance to travel.
I have the opportunity
to have this adventure,
and I'm going to live it 2,000%.
I think I'm able to
go beyond my limits.

It's true that it's a bit weird
being naked, but I feel good.
I feel like a little gorilla

but I'm not bothered by it.
I want to discover
things, too. I can't wait.
There we go. The
adventure has really begun.
I am totally naked in the
middle of the Colombian jungle.
Narrator: In order to
participate in this challenge,
the candidates were
evaluated on their abilities
to survive in hostile
environments.
Based on the results
of psychological
and physical testing and
their knowledge of survival,
experts calculated their
primitive survival rating,
or PSR.
Marie is a high-level athlete
and is used to putting her
body and mind to hard testing,
but her emotional makeup
could be a handicap.
She begins with a PSR of 6.8.
Olivier is accustomed
to survival experiences,
but his lack of knowledge in
the jungle could hinder him.
He will need to adapt to it.
His PSR starts at 7.8.
Experts will reevaluate
these readings
at the end of the challenge.
Olivier's interpreter:
Everything's going to be hard
here in the jungle.

I thought, well,
he has a kind face,
rather kind, you know?
After that, I thought
he might be a bit small.
I hope he has the strength.
- Ready?
- Yeah, I'm ready.
- Hell of a team.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- Okay.
We do the whole
thing all the way,
and we help each
other out. Right?
- Yeah, yeah. The two of us.
- Great.
The nudity isn't too...?
- For now, it's fine.
- Yeah. Me, too.
Plus, after awhile, you
forget about it in the jungle.
- Exactly. A woman. A man.
- That's it.
That's it. It's
primitive, right?
Yes.
Narrator: Although the
problem of nudity seems solved,
the jungle could be a
much harder challenge
to overcome.
In order to survive in
these extreme conditions,
each participant can bring
an object of their choice,
something
essential for survival.
- Flint. That's good.
- Ah, great.
Narrator: Olivier has chosen
a flint and Marie a machete.
The survivalists have
also been provided
with a basic map of the area.
Marie and Olivier's
adventure will begin with
a 2-1/2-mile trek
through this stifling jungle
in order to reach the river
and establish their camp.
We need to watch
where we put our feet
because like
here, for example...
- Oh, yes.
- Where do you come from?
- I'm from Vichy. And you?
- Belgium.

won't be bad, yeah.
Oh, that's beautiful.
- That's beautiful, isn't it?
- Yeah, too beautiful.
All of this hides an incredible
number of creatures.
You have to be
watchful for everything
because there are a lot
of dangerous things here.
The biodiversity is beautiful,
but it can also eat you.
Are you scared of
anything in particular?
Snakes and spiders.
- We'll avoid them.
- There you go.
Oh, do you hear
that? That's water.
Oh, great. I had a feeling.
- Ah!

Jungle is my dream come true.
It's everything that I love.
Honestly, I'm happy because
I didn't know the jungle,
the real jungle.
For the first day,
I'm very happy.
Narrator: After locating
a promising water source,
the survivalists consider
nearby shelter options.
That might be okay. But
you see, the problem is,
I don't know if the water
can come all the way up here.
If we raise it
higher... Yes, exactly.
[ Both speaking in French ]
My idea is triangular shelter.
Not too big. The smaller it is,
the more it
preserves heat, I think.
So I don't have
to build a shelter
that takes a lot of energy,
which is useless
since we're only two.
I'll cut, and you can
clear around a bit.
Okay.

me. Fairly easy-going.
So we'll see in the long
run, but for now I'm happy.
We'll try to make
a thing like this.
Okay.
Narrator: With only limited
knowledge of the area's dangers,
Olivier and Marie decide to
build a raised-platform shelter
in order to avoid not
only potential predators,
but also the cold
from damp soil.
You see, I can
get started on this
and find rocks like this.
The priority right
now is to light a fire.
This place is filled
with resources.

a way, I hope.
Apparently, he's used to this.
So that's good. We'll
definitely have fire.
Marie's interpreter: I'm getting
some wood. Is that what you want?

because I was too greedy
yesterday with the water.
I drank it while I was still
too hot, and I was too thirsty.
So...
Yeah, I got a few blisters,
and now I have to build
a roof for the shelter.
But I have to proceed slowly
because here the smallest effort
can be really,
really exhausting.
Marie's interpreter: The
idea is we need to build
a roof for our shelter so
we feel a bit more protected
because right now
we're between the trees,
and there are things that fall,
and we're not very, very secure.
And the other idea is
to make a big mattress
so our butts don't get too sore.
Olivier's interpreter: In
the right direction, right?
Otherwise, they'll stick us.
You see? So that they're softer.
So it's that side.
There are spider
webs everywhere.
And I just can't.
I know there's a lot of
bugs. We're in the jungle.
But, well, try to avoid
them when you can,
so that's gross.
You want a duvet cover?
Bugs are everywhere.
You have to adapt.
It's not the jungle that's
going to adapt to us.
We're not going to have a
nice mattress to sleep on.

- You're putting more on top.
- You're putting dirt there.

stuff, so you can't tell me
it's of no use.
- That's survival.
- Oh, no.
Well, that's men for you.

set up is still important
because we have to
stay here for three weeks.
We obviously have
different priorities.

it wasn't such a huge job,

I'm really exhausted.
There's a mental aspect in it.
I have terrible back pain,
and that's on my mind.
I'm sore all over here.
In fact, there... there.
All the lower back.
I don't want to put my back out.
That's happened to me before.
If that happens,
I'll have to quit.
That's why I try to
move as little as possible.
Rest is the only
thing that works.
Marie's interpreter: Today, my
goal is to keep Olivier focused
because he was
really in a bad way,
and I tried to reassure
him as much as possible
to give him a boost.
That's why I went
to find some snails,
so we could eat,
and to make him eat.
It helps psychologically.
In a difficult place like this,
if you're not boosting
each other, it's hard.
We take care of one
another... sometimes it's me,
next time it's him... to
try to help each other out.
It makes it easier
to go forward.
Narrator: After thoroughly
cooking them this time,
the snails provide a
much-needed boost.

With only five days
left in the challenge,
Olivier and Marie
prepare for their extraction.
So there, we'll
have to go on foot.
- So there's a bamboo forest.
- After there's a bamboo forest.
And then there are caimans.
So the best thing
is to build a raft
so that we can get all
the way to the ocean.
Narrator: Marie and
Olivier will need strength
to complete a six-mile
hike over two days.
They will cross the jungle,
then head down a river
that is filled with caiman,
to finally reach the ocean.
If they succeed in reaching
the designated spot on their map,
a boat will come find them,
signifying the successful
end of their challenge.
I'm not going to
do the whole thing,
but it will look
like this. Yeah.
We're starting to think
about leaving on a raft,
the extraction.
Yeah, gives us a bit of
a boost, bit of a smile.
Feels good, yeah.
We'll have to leave
early so we can finish
the raft the same day.
Extraction.
So good.
Narrator: Marie and Olivier
need to find something
to provide enough
energy for their bodies
to complete the two-day
hike that awaits them.
- Don't go too fast.
- Yeah, I'm going too fast.
No use.
Today we're going into
the jungle to find fruit
for the last time.
We're really tired. We
don't have much energy.

There's something

we have little birds.
Little birds.
Sorry, but that's how
it is. We have to eat.
Yeah. We'll make
ourselves a nice little dinner.
Go ahead, bite,

I'm eating everything...
the feathers, the feet.

I'm going to have
some awful scars.
I was sleeping next to
the fire, and I don't know.
It was pretty painful,
a hot coal slid up next
to me, and I got burned.
I felt like my
flesh was on fire.
Olivier's interpreter:
I think it's okay.
She's not complaining too much.
But it's still pretty
badly burned, I think.
Even if it's superficial
with all the sand
and everything,
not very pleasant.
This morning I went
to find some Aloe vera,
a natural balm.
Survival when you're
on the buddy system
means you take

Ow. That hurts.
We started off together.
We'll finish together.

- No problem.
I can't take any more.
I'll be coming back with a ton

Narrator: It's been three
weeks since Marie and Olivier
began this extreme adventure,
coping with hunger,
thirst, fatigue, and fear,
naked in the heart of
the Colombian jungle.
This morning, they
leave their camp
to reach the extraction
point and return to civilization.
It's a dream. I'd
stopped believing.
Ciao, ciao! Ciao!
Thank you for everything
you've provided us.
Marie's interpreter: I am
so happy to be leaving.
It was a hard
challenge, very hard.
But they did it.
Narrator: Marie and
Olivier will have to complete
a two-day trek over a
total distance of six miles
in order to reach the ocean,
where they will await a
boat that will collect them.
Damn. Tomorrow we're gone.
Marie's interpreter: I think we
need to continue a bit farther.
Oh, my legs are feeling weird.
We're not used to
walking so much.
It's getting a lot deeper.
We'll go over there.
We'll get out over there.

we can use to build a raft
because farther on,
there are caimans.
Yeah, let's get out.

Oh, [bleep]
I think this will
be our plan here.
Ah, yeah.
There's bamboo here, so...
Okay? Okay.
Olivier's interpreter: We've
stopped here because
there's a small clump of bamboo
'cause they're important for
us so we can build our raft,
our little raft, 'cause
without bamboo,
we're swimming the
whole way with the caimans.

It's impossible. What?
How do you want to do that?
Well, we have to take them off.
You can cut them.
Go ahead. I'll let you do it.
Go ahead. I'll watch you.
Olivier's interpreter: When
I'm tired, I'm in a bad mood,
I'm much slower, more bitchy.
Okay, wait two seconds.
Wait two seconds

- You're pissing me off.
- Good. So do it yourself.
You're a real [bleep] sometimes.
Narrator: After a two-mile
hike, Marie and Olivier still have
to complete
construction of their raft,
which will allow them
to reach the ocean
while protecting
them from caiman.
But fatigue is causing
them to make mistakes
that could cost
them dearly. Ouch!
Olivier's interpreter:
It's the first time I've built
a raft out of bamboo.
The problem is the
binding, the rope.
Making sure everything
is tied together
with something
that's dirty isn't easy.
What I'm afraid
of is the bamboo...
is it going to float
like that or not?
Normally, that stuff
is waterproof, at least.
I don't care.
Tomorrow I'll swim out of here,
and I'm getting out. That's it.
When you see the
caiman next to you,
you won't feel that
same way. Go ahead.
The raft hasn't been tested
because there isn't
enough depth here.
The danger is that it might
sink or mostly come apart.
If the knots break,
then there'll be nothing
holding it together.
We'll launch it tomorrow.
