Day 49[]
By an impromptu vote in their camps, each tribe sent its two supposedly least liked men to the Deliberation Hut, Halcones selected Cuchao Pérez and Kenta Sakurai, while Jaguares chose Julián Huergo and Santi Valverde. There they had to decide which man from each tribe would leave his tribe and go to an unknown location, but in return would have immunity, the decision had to be made before the time set in the hourglass ran out or else they would be punished. Finally, Julián and Kenta were the chosen ones, it would later be revealed that they would be sent to Exile Camp, where they would meet Ale Saadi and Catalina Blanco who would reenter the game to form a new tribe called Los Otros. This new tribe was introduced at night during an impromptu Tribal Council.

Challenges[]
Episode 23[]
Challenge: New School
In teams of two, the members would swim out and collect eight fish puzzle pieces. After taking the pieces back to the shore, they must hang the puzzle pieces on hooks, then carry the log with the hooks to a puzzle station, where they would use the fish pieces to complete a puzzle. Once the puzzle is solved, the two members must carry two balls across a ramp to a hole in the puzzle table to score a point. The first tribe to score 5 points wins reward.
Reward: Food supplies (one chicken, meat, 1/2 Kg of rice, corn flour, yucca).

The more sandbags in the net, the heavier the net will become until the tribe member can no longer hold on. The castaway who holds on to their net the longest scores a point for their tribe. The first tribe to score 5 points wins reward.
Reward: A shower and snacks.
Winner: Jaguares (5-3)

Reward Challenge #3: The Color and the Shape
In teams of two members, they must collect wooden pieces along an obstacle course.

Once the puzzle and nets are assembled, the members must shoot a coconut into each of the four nets to score a point. The first tribe to score 5 points wins reward.

Challenge: Splash Back

Reward: Arepas.
Winners: Cyntia Cofano and Nahomi Mejía
Challenge: Serpent Turf

They must then retrieve a long and heavy snake and bring it back to shore after crossing underneath another cage before placing the snake in the indicated location. The members must then retrieve ropes from inside the snake, which must be tied to form rings. Next, they must throw the rope rings at a series of oars that, when hit, will rise; all four oars must rise and have a ring to score a point. The first tribe to score 4 points wins reward.

Once the balls have been collected from the four stands, the barrel must be placed in the form of a container, to score a point the person who was inside the barrel must use a catapult to make two balls fall into the barrel. The first tribe to score 5 points wins immunity.
Winner: Jaguares (5-1)
Challenge: Domino Effect
Each nominee will stack a series of blocks on an angular beam while avoiding trip bars, which could cause their blocks to tip and force them to start over.

The challenge will be divided into two rounds, the first player to smash their tile in each round will be saved from elimination.
