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.

Finally, they found an important clue — a single muddy sock. Acuña’s mother confirmed it was her son’s.
Yet further down...
“I started running,” he said. “I was wearing sandals and I said no, they would slow me down. I threw away the sandals...
Socks with sandals... now that's just not right I don't care who you are. ;)
Here in Florida we see tourists wear socks with sandals all the time. It’s how we know they aren’t locals...............
Brian Williams, are you posting on Free Republic now?
No thanks.
If I want to get directions from monkeys, I’ll join the Democrat Party.
Didn’t mention bats, either.
Hey, hey, we’re the Monkees
And people say we monkey around
But we’re too busy singing
To put anybody down…
That happened to me once. There I was, deep in the jungles of somewhere. There was snakes everywhere. Then I found some burning leaves after a thunderstorm. I inhaled...then a golden unicorn swooped down and rescued me. He chased away all the snakes. He chased away all the evil monkeys. He chopped down all the trees. He lead me back to New York City. He even gave me two bucks to take the subway back home.

and then the murders began. :)

Years ago I saw a movie based on true events about an airplane mishap over the Amazon.
The plane crashed and killed everyone but one young girl, who came to rest on the forest floor still strapped into her seat.
She or her rescuers had to dig fly eggs out from under her skin. They burrowed into her.
That is the beginning and end of my Amazonian knowledge: If you go there, flies will lay eggs under your skin.
Do not want.
