The popular reality show "The Last Hero" about the survival of celebrities in extreme conditions attracted almost thousands of fans. The Russians “peeped” the original idea of this project from their Western neighbors - Great Britain and the USA, as well as the ideas of many TV shows and feature films. It turned out brightly - watching celebrity adventures was both interesting and pleasant. The viewer’s eye was delighted by the vast expanses of the sea, clean sands and untouched nature. Surely many would like to visit the islands where they filmed The Last Hero.
Venue - Bocas del Toro, Panama
In order to see the notorious scenery and visit the main location of the reality show, you will have to go to the islands of Bocas del Toro, conveniently located in the northwest of the state of Panama. This is a group of not very large patches of land surrounded by the Caribbean Sea. If someone is even more locally interested in where “The Last Hero” was filmed, then it is better to mention the group of Zattattilas islands. In general, the area of the entire archipelago is 250 square meters. km More or less large islands there are only seven, but much smaller ones - as many as 52. The main city of the entire archipelago is the Bokas del Toro of the same name, which is located on one of the largest islands - Colon.
Tourist paradise
At first glance, this place seems to be a real paradise on earth. It is such a picturesque landscape that is shown in the hot in every sense advertising of the Bounty bar. These islands, where they filmed The Last Hero, attract much more than Crimean Yalta or even Miami. Here you can find many secluded places where a person’s foot has not yet gone, but getting to them can be problematic. Wildlife triumphantly triumphs over civilization, and threatening shark fins rush away over the calm surface of the sea. The water is clear and deep, but very salty - a very suitable place for scuba diving.
Briefly about the TV show "The Last Hero"
16 participants of the first season of the show spent 39 days here in the open air. They had to go through a lot in the struggle for the main prize - $ 100,000. All applicants for winning were divided into two tribes: Turtles and Lizards. When there were very few participants left, they were combined into one team called “Sharks”. The islands on which the competitions were held are very small - no more than two kilometers wide and the same length. From improvised food there you can get bird meat, fish, crabs and a variety of fruits. But the heroes of the show “The Last Hero”, most likely, ate normal food as well, so you should not focus on this.
Bad weather on the islands sometimes happens, but not strong and does not linger for a long time, so the beach remains constant in size and does not erode. The film crew lived not far from the heroes in the equipped bungalows, so in general the situation is quite pleasant, although not very civilized.
No trust in television
Surely few viewers believed that the participants in the reality show really led the same life as Robinson Crusoe. However, it cannot be said that the Zappattilas Islands have harsh survival conditions, quite the opposite. The place where The Last Hero was filmed looks more like a resort than a school of life or impenetrable tropics. It only makes you think again that you do not need to believe everything that is shown on TV.
Life after the show
After the television project, some participants (Sergey Sakin, Ivan Lyubimenko) wrote a book about their stay on the island. The “last hero” made many reconsider their familiar life and make changes to it. The winner of the show Sergey Odintsov left his post at customs, opened a cafe and became a deputy of the Kursk Regional Duma. Inna Gomez continued her career as an actress, and Natalya Ten moved to Moscow to lead her own column in the morning show on Channel One.
