Koh-Lanta: Nicoya was the second season of the French version of Survivor, Koh-lanta. This season took place in Costa Rica on the island of Nicoya, and was broadcast on TF1 from June 28, 2002 to September 13, 2002 airing on Saturdays and Sundays at 6:55 p.m. The two original tribes this season were Tambor and Ventanas.

This season saw the first Tribe Switch in the history of Koh-Lanta, with one person from each tribe switching.

Production

After the success of Les Aventuriers, the French television network TF1 decided to make second season with new host. Sixteen contestants were chosen by the producers to participate the show. They were marooned on the coast of Nicoya in Costa Rica, where they would live for 40 days and only one will win the prize.

Twists

• Tribe Switch: For the first time in the history of the series, tribe members switched tribes during the tribal phase.
• Return: Following the evacuation of Xavier in episode two, Jacky (who was voted out of the Tambor tribe in the previous episode) returned to the game.
