Koh-Lanta: Panama was the fourth season of the French version of Survivor, Koh-Lanta. Like season three, this season was held in Panama but in the archipelago of Las Perlas.[1] It was broadcast TF1 from Friday July 2, 2004 to Tuesday August 31, 2004. This season the contestants were initially divided into two tribes known as Chapera and Mogo, both of which consisted of eight contestants of the same gender.[2] Following a tribal swap on day eight many contestants found themselves living on new tribes. Due to two evacuations that occurred this season, both Linda and Sophie returned to the game following their initial eliminations.
