Klingt plausibel.
Hier die Google Translate Übersetzung (in English, weil die besser ist):
In Lonely Planet does not clearly explained to walkers who make a day trip, should return after reaching a certain viewpoint on the same road. Travelers who misunderstand the text may - wrongly - think that after this point, just have to walk through to get from the beginning. They then go on a long, dangerous and uncertain path. "This is my piece of earth, so I know where I need to go," says Plinio Montenegro guide who specializes in the Pianista trail. "But a clear route is not there."
The Dutch women Lisanne and Kris are missing in Panama since April 2. After a long search their death was this week identified through DNA testing on remains found in the jungle. A crime is not impossible, but according to justice is certain that they have been on the Pianista path. They also have the language school, in the morning for their loss, looked in an information which almost exactly the wording of the Lonely Planet is copied, it turns out the reconstruction.
"We will text Sendero El Pianista revised as soon as we know more about what happened to the two women, and when we received an update from our author about the safety of travelers to this destination," says a spokeswoman for Lonely Planet compared De Volkskrant. The Lonely Planet warns in its text or for robberies. The language school this warning dropped.
The women were also on the basis of the text can be walked to the viewpoint. "On top of that summit are no markers," says guide Feliciano Gonzalez. "So what sometimes happens is that people go the other way down the mountain. After about a day, maybe run a half day, you come out at the Culebra River. At this point the river is very high and the water flows fast. Only two cables hanging over the water. "
Guides know that fifty meters higher is a safer crossing point. "But of course they do not know. Seeing those cables, and think you have over it. Understandable, but when you get on the ropes, they sway from side to side. They hang very loose. I think one of them has fallen into the river and the other tried to save her. Either they went together to the cables, and it is not doing at all, "he says. "Then they move in all directions."
The river flow according to Gonzalez here quickly, so that makes it plausible that the girls big pieces are washed away. "It also corresponds exactly with the locations of the shoes, the bag and the remains of the girls. Those were all downstream of La Culebra. " Discussions with guides in Panama also show that passengers have been previously lost by not at the right point to return. The view point is arranged in the fog.
El Pianista is actually no real path, "says Montenegro. "It's a long route through the jungle crossing the mountains and ends at the shore. To give you an idea: I'll do that route only three or four times a year with tourists. These are people who specifically request it and are looking for extreme adventure. I'll then advance places to eat, to sleep. But it is a heavy trip of four days. "
