About Beijing Express
14 participants, a colossal journey through some of the most unknown countries on the planet, just one euro a day, and a succulent cash prize. That's right. PEKING EXPRESS, the travel and adventure competition that revolutionized this television genre worldwide and which, coinciding with its 20th anniversary, returns to Spain thanks to MAX with a renewed format full of surprises, with Miguel Ángel Muñoz at the helm as the program's presenter.
In this new phase, produced by Warner Bros. ITVP Spain for Max, seven couples participate, each consisting of a celebrity and their companion. Each will have a backpack as their only luggage and will compete against each other in the race of their lives. Their mission: to reach the finish line as quickly as possible through exotic locations, where they will have to find transportation, accommodation, and food with no resources other than their instincts, their ingenuity, and their social skills. Only then will they be able to overcome the numerous challenges they will face throughout the program if they want to stay in the competition until the final test.
