That may be true.....But people, PLEASE don’t allow your youngsters to vacation or tour in Third World Latin America. All of those countries are corrupt and crime ridden. And in some—Ecuador is one—the government relentlessly preaches hatred of the USA. Costa Rica and Argentina are the only Latin American countries that are even halfway safe. But I wouldn’t risk my kids in those countries either. And yes, I speak fluent Spanish and Portuguese and have lived (10 years) and travelled extensively in Latin America.

So sorry to hear this, what an awful tragedy for your brother-in-law’s family.

The locals are pretty sure on the fact that they don’t have kidnappers in the local area.

I’d be looking for a mountain lion (puma) that chased him off the trail, and ended up taking him down somewhere. When I was in Panama....between the snakes and the pumas....it just was advisable not to wander off away from civilization.
