A Chilean tourist survived for nine days while lost in a dense expanse of Bolivian rainforest thanks to a troop of hero monkeys who dropped him fruit and led him to shelter and water every day, the man claimed.
Maykool Coroseo Acuña, 25, went missing from his Max Adventures tour group at Madidi National Park, a protected rainforest in the northwest part of the South American country, National Geographic reported.
The night before Acuña disappeared, he refused to take part with other tourists in a traditional ceremony that gives thanks to Pachamama, Mother Earth, for allowing them to visit the forest.

He didn't get lost. Those a-hole liberal environmentalists left him there! Poor guys only "crime" was not worshiping mother gaia earth.
Just ‘cause the monkeys didn’t hit him with the fruit doesn’t mean they weren’t throwing it at him.
Like God fed Elijah in the wilderness by having ravens bring him food.....................
God saves man who refused to worship idol!...................
Having competed their study of the specimen, they released him to his natural habitat...
For myself and the rangers, this is our culture, said Madidi Park Director Marcos Uzquiano. We believe that Duende is real. And we think its possible that Maykool was taken by him.
Shamans told the search party that Acuña was far away, in a place we cant reach.

Apparently they are smoking the good stuff down in the Amazon.
Yes, but it sounds like the One True God watched over this man that refused to worship a false idol, like God sent ravens to feed Elijah in the desert.
On one of the reality survival shows, didn’t someone get sicker than heck and had to be evacuated because he ate some fruit that some monkeys had left behind. IIRC, the monkey saliva had some virus in that the man got while finishing up a partially-eaten piece of fruit left behind by the monkeys.
Not guilty of false advertising at least.
I always wonder about things kinds of stories. How are they even discovered? Fertile imaginations? Who would bother to verify? Who would go down to the Amazon to check it out, and risk being carried off by giant tsetse flies? Wrong continent but you get the idea.
South America I would worry about Bot Flies. Nasty critters...............
I know what you mean, Zeke. I get a whiff of BS with this story.
Yeah, I remember all too well when hero monkeys saved me from the anaconda and nothing to subsist on but food and water because I had inadvertently lost my corkscrew.
if Pachamama becomes offended, shell send a sprite called Duende who hides victims in another dimension to get you, the site reported.
Creative inspiration drawn from the Obama White Hut, more likely.
Sorry, but if you read through the story, sounds like the guy was losing his mind, I do not believe this story.
It’s a mix of Andean and Amazonian beliefs with some made up garbage.
