Survivor: Paso del Istmo

News that CBS’s hit reality television show Survivor is filming its Fall 2010 season in the Paso del Istmo dominated Nicaraguan headlines this past month. Filming is taking place south of the popular beach town San Juan del Sur, in a section of the Paso del Istmo Biological Corridor which Paso Pacifico is striving to preserve.

For those unfamiliar with the show, Survivor contestants are left to “survive” unfamiliar terrain, exotic conditions, and hostile competitors, battling to be the last remaining “survivor” who takes the prize.

The show will feature the same tropical dry forests and pristine beaches that Paso Pacifico works to protect and will provide an opportunity for the world to witness the country’s natural beauty, rich biodiversity, and ecological treasures. Paso Pacífico is also coordinating with the Survivor production crew to ensure sea turtle protection and monitoring on beaches where filming is taking place.
