A hiker in Argentina claims that he recently had a run-in with the country's version of Bigfoot, known as an Ucumar. According to a local media report, the encounter occurred last Tuesday morning as the witness, identified as Tito, and a friend were descending the city of Salta's sizeable San Bernardo Hill. The pair had originally ventured to the mountain "to see if it had snowed" at the popular tourist destination. "As we were coming down, we heard something strange in the trees.," Tito recalled, marveling that they soon caught sight of something that left them deeply unsettled.
