Lost Tourist Survives Nine Days in the Jungle, Says Monkeys Helped | National Geographic
Could you survive nine days in the rainforest alone? Maykool Coroseo Acuña did after he wandered away from his campsite in Bolivia's Madidi National Park. Rangers and guides searched for eight to ten hours per day for a week, and after nine days in the jungle, Maykool was found less than a mile from the campground. He was dehydrated, and had bug bites, botflies, and spines stuck in his skin. He says a group of monkeys dropped fruit and led him to shelter and water every day.
