Hi Park enthusiasts, I'm your host, Dylia DeAmbra, and this is the last episode of Season

2. Our time in the parks is coming to an end. There will be a bonus episode next week,

and then we'll be done until next summer.

The story I'm going to send us off with is one that has so many theories, and I'll be

and plants. Some friendly, others not so friendly.

According to US News and World Report, the population in that area is made up of mostly

indigenous people, or people with blended Native American and Caucasian ethnicities who live

in poverty. There are pockets of villages in between large swathes of jungle and mountains,

and those are the places that a lot of international travelers or aid volunteers visit to take in

the country's raw natural beauty. What happened to 21-year-old Chris Cremers and 22-year-old

Lee San Frune in the Panamanian jungle seven years ago still remains an absolute mystery,
