Readers should note that this story never reached mainstream news in Peru just small news outlets contacted by the so called victims. Photos of the injuries caused to the travelers have not surfaced nor video testimony. The tourists have raised over $20,000 in donations without a single video or photograph or evidence of the attack. Locals just don't attack tourists for no reason, especially in an area that relies heavily on tourism, if the attack did happen there was likely provocation or arrogance on the part of the tourists. The story of the villagers have also never surfaced, as of today this remains a non event in Peru and many think it a scam to raise money. Everyone should be extremely skeptical of this story.
