I hadn't read or heard about it. Now it really made me laugh. For years I've gone camping at the beach, the mountains too. I've hiked through the jungle, the Inca trail among other national parks or sanctuaries... I've never seen any snake except once, one little snake that was already crushed on the road by a SUV. Yes there are snakes in Peru, some of them venomous. There are anacondas in the jungle too, very big though not like the Jennifer Lopez movie. But it's not usually a danger or a high risk. Nor are the spectacled bears who actually are very shy. Nor pumas that usually avoid zones where humans are present. The sources Mr. Trump consults are truly a mystery. Say no more.
