I ate worms, I ate insects, you wouldn’t believe everything I had to do to survive all this time,” he told Unitel TV. He also ate wild fruits similar to papayas, known locally as gargateas.

His family said they would still have to piece together all the details of how Acosta was lost and how he managed to stay alive, but they would question him gradually as he was still psychologically wounded after the experience.
Mr. Acosta lost 37 pounds (17 kg) in weight, had a dislocated ankle, and was dehydrated when he was found, but according to those who found him, he was still able to walk with a limp. My brother told us that when he dislocated his ankle on the fourth day, he began to fear for his life,” Horacio Acosta told the Bolivian newspaper Página Siete.
“He only had a cartridge in his shotgun and he couldn’t walk, and he thought that no one would look for him anymore,” added Horacio Acosta, the survivor’s younger brother. Jhonattan Acosta did not have a machete or flashlight when he got lost and had to use his boots to collect rainwater to drink. He also told his relatives that he had encounters with wild animals, including a jaguar. His younger brother says that Jhonattan used his last cartridge to scare off a squad of peccaries, pig-like herd animals found in the South American rain forests.

It’s a miracle.” According to the young Acosta, Jhonattan has decided to stop hunting forever after his ordeal. He’s going to play music to praise God. He promised God, and I think he’ll keep his promise,” he said of his brother who plays the guitar.
