Tourist Credits Monkeys After Surviving Nine Days in Amazon
PATRICK CLARKE MARCH 24, 2017
A South American tourist is somehow alive and well after spending nine days lost in the Bolivian Amazon.
And he has a group of monkeys to thank for it.
According to National Geographic, 25-year-old Chilean Maykool Coroseo Acuna went missing in Bolivia's Madidi National Park during a rainforest tour with local agency Max Adventures. Acuna was last seen with the group of travelers at Max Adventures' campground near the Tuichi River, and his mysterious disappearance prompted an intense search effort from park rangers and the agency's guides.
Max Adventures owner Feizar Nava pinned Acuna's bizarre vanishing on his decision to not participate in a Pachamama ceremony with his fellow travelers—designed to thank Mother Earth for allowing visitors into the rainforest.
Locals believe Pachamama has power over a mischievous sprite known as "Duende" that can send victims into another dimension.
