Vielen Dank für den Link zum Artikel!
Der ist echt der Hammer!
Praktisch das gesammte Verwirrspiel wird erklärt und das bereits 3 Monate nach dem Unglück.
Ich habe den Text mal durch Google-Translate gejagt und die englische Übersetzung ist verdammt smooth (für eine automatische Übersetzung) :

Did Lonely Planet Lisanne and Kris go wrong?
A lot more extreme than mentioned
Reconstruction
Travel Guide Lonely Planet says to revise the text about the Pianista trail in Panama as soon as it becomes clearer about the fate of Lisanne Froon and Kris Kremers. The Lonely Planet is now talking about a pleasant day hike, but according to local guides, travelers can easily get lost during the trip and it is dangerous. This is evidenced by a reconstruction that appears today in the Volkskrant
In the Lonely Planet, it is not clear that walkers who make a day trip must return to the same road after reaching a certain viewpoint. Travelers who misunderstand the text may - unjustifiably - think they just have to walk through to get out of the way. They then end up on a long, dangerous and unclear path. "This is my piece of earth, so I know where to go," says Plinio Montenegro, a specialist in the Pianista trail. "But there's no clear route."
The Dutch women Lisanne and Kris have been missing in Panama since April 2. After a long search, their death was found this week via DNA research on remains found in the jungle. A crime is not ruled out, but according to justice it is clear that they have been on the Pianista path. They also looked at the language school, in the morning before their disappearance, in an information folder in which almost exactly the copy of the Lonely Planet copied appears from the reconstruction.
"We will review the text about Sendero El Pianista as soon as we know more about what happened to the two women, and when we receive an update from our author about safety for travelers at this destination," says Lonely Planet spokeswoman The Volkskrant. The Lonely Planet warns in his text for robberies. The language school left this warning out.
The women might also be able to walk through the viewpoint on the basis of the text. 'On top of that there are no markers', says guide Feliciano Gonzalez. "So what happens sometimes is that people go down the mountain on the other side. After about a day, maybe a day and a half, you will arrive at the Culebra river. At this point the river is very high and the water flows super fast. There are only two cables above the water. "
Fell in the river
Guides know that fifty meters higher is a safer crossing point. "But of course they did not know that. They see those cables, and think you have to go over there. Understandable, but when you walk on those cables, they swung from left to right. They are very loose. I think one of them has fallen into the river and that the other has tried to save her. Either they went on the cables at the same time, and then it's impossible to do it, "he says. "Then they move all sides."
The river flows here according to Gonzalez razendsnel, so it makes it plausible that the girls have big pieces washed away. "It's also true with the finds of the shoes, the bag and the rest of the girls. They all lay downstream of La Culebra. ' Conversations with guides in Panama also show that travelers have lost their way by reversing. The viewpoint is arranged in the fog.
"El Pianista is not really a real hiking trail," says Montenegro. 'It's a long route crossing the mountains across the jungle and reaches the coast. To give you an idea: I do that route only three or four times a year with tourists. These are people who specifically ask for it and are looking for extreme adventure. I then rule out previous places to eat, to sleep. But it's a tough trip of four days. "

Ok, was haben wir hier:
Einen, wohl schlecht recherchierten Lonely Planet Eintrag.
Eine Sprachschule, die eine Mappe mit möglichen Ausflugszielen für ihre Gäste auslegt und dafür diesen Eintrag übernimmt, aber auch wichtiges einfach unter den Tisch fallen lässt. Zusätzlich, und das als eine Art Tourismusbetrieb, wohl trotzdem keine Ahnung hat, was es mit den Ausflugszielen auf sich hat. Fast so als wären sie nicht vor Ort.
Und wir haben einen lokalen "El Pianista" Spezialisten, dem man wohl eine Definition der Route zutrauen sollte und der tatsächlich behauptet, es handele sich hierbei nicht einmal um einen "hiking trail" (original "wandelpad"), sondern vielmehr um eine ellenlange Route (4 Tage!), die nur etwas für hartgesottene Extremisten ist.
Ich glaube man kann es mit den Worten zusammenfassen:
Das perfekte Chaos!
Ich muss mich also schon wieder von meiner Theorie trennen, dass der Pianista Trail OFFIZIELL am Aussichtspunkt endet.
Nein, hier ist vielmehr gar nichts offiziell. (Gut, mittlerweile gibt es ein offizielles Schild und damit eine Art Definition des Ende EINES Sendero, wenn auch nicht klar ist, dass damit das Ende des "Sendero El Pianista" gemeint ist.)
Jeder macht da was er will und benennt Dinge wie er grad lustig ist und am Ende, oh Wunder, kommt es zu Missverständnissen.
Man sollte in solchen Gebieten vermutlich ohne erfahrenen Guide lediglich den hoteleigenen Swimmingpool aufsuchen.
Für den Rest sind Erkundungen auf eigene Faust wohl zu gefährlich. Man kann weder dem Reiseführer in Druckformat trauen, noch den Empfehlungen der Touristenstätten.
