No Limite was the first season of the Brazilian reality show No Limite filmed in Ceará
, Brazil. The premiere aired Sunday, July 23, 2000.
Twelve contestants were chosen by the producers to participate the show between July to August 2000.
The two initial tribes were Sol and Lua. On episode 6, the two teams merged into a tribe called Solua, named for a combination of two tribes.
On the season finale, the second-to-last immunity challenge divided the players in two teams. The winning team (Elaine and Pipa) advanced for the finals, while the losing team (Andréa and Juliana) was automatically eliminated.
