The show followed Keating and 7 other teens for three weeks facing the challenges of traveling through a rain forest in [[Costa Rica]]. The group paddled about 40 miles a day, rappelled down canyon walls, slept under makeshift tents, helped out local villages and lived only on rice, beans and eggs.
