Skies were clear over Baures in Bolivia's Beni Department in February 2023, promising a favorable day for hunting. Jonathan Luis Acosta Abuit, 30, was excited as he prepared his equipment. This carefully planned trip with four of his friends represented an opportunity to connect with nature in one of the world's most imposing and dangerous regions, the Amazon jungle.

The mission was clear: to enter Montana, 80 kilometers from the municipality of Baurs, and take pictures of wildlife on the hunt. A dense, vibrant forest spread out before them like a green ocean full of puzzles and challenges. With backpacks loaded and weapons at the ready, the group set out at dawn, confident that their knowledge of the terrain and survival skills would be sufficient to face any eventuality.

The journey went smoothly for the first few hours. The vegetation, though impenetrable in some sections, gave way before the five men's determined progress. Jonathon, with adrenaline pumping, focused on each step, listening to the distant sounds of the forest and feeling the dampness begin to seep into his clothes. However, he told Orato that the group's silence was broken at dusk when the light began to fade between the trees.

Walking down a narrow path, Jonathan decided to stop for a moment to fix his bag. Fatigue was starting to set in, but he was determined to keep going. At that moment, as he stood up and looked around, he realized something was wrong. The grumbling of his friends had been perfectly audible just moments before. The echoes of the forest became oppressive and a sudden chill ran down his spine.

“Guys!” he yelled with all his might, waiting for an answer that never came.
