 It was incredible: this man disappeared, after 5 years he was accidentally found in the jungle of the Amazon

Since then, the family simply did not understand where he was gone.

The early summer morning, Canadian Anton Pilipa left the house to go shopping.

Since then, the family simply did not understand where he was gone. Because the man did not take neither documents, nor things, nor cash reserve with him.

Only after 5 years did information about Anton appeared. The man was almost accidentally found in the jungle of the Amazon, thousands of kilometers from the house.

Anton’s family turned to the relevant authorities for help. Search days turned into months, and then in years. It seemed that the man disappeared into the air.

Anton’s relatives were already ready to come to terms with the disappearance of a man. But then a strange letter came to his sister.

The author assured that he was a Brazilian policeman, and said that Anton was found on the edge of the jungle.

Of course, Anton’s family took the letter as fraudulent. But in the next message, the officer really sent Anton’s photo with a beard, more often, but in general positively.

His brother left for Brazil, since Anton really did not have any documents. And only at home, after a few months, the man told his adventure story.

It turned out that Anton was sharply tired of a rather meaningless lifestyle associated only with work and TV.

That morning he left the house without a special purpose and realized that he did not want to stop. The next day, the man decided to take a walk to the famous Buenos Aires library.

Anton left Vancouver, crossed the US border, reached Mexico, after which he visited Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela and finally stayed in Argentina.

The guy made most of the journey on foot, sometimes caught passing cars, hid several times in the goods. Anton ate fruits and berries, from time to time he was given money by strangers who heard his story.

The funny thing is that the man got to the library. He was not allowed into the building in dirty clothes and without documents: here Anton was so upset that he decided to throw people into the jungle.

The man managed to get to Brazil, lived on the outskirts of the Amazon for a couple of days, and then a vigilant policeman noticed him on the road.

A law enforcement officer brought a strange man to the municipality. He named his name, and after some time the authorities established that Anton was looking for five years.

It is amazing how persistent a person can be in his aspirations. It seems that money and lack of documents cannot stop the one who is determined to go on the road.
