Civil Aeronautics reconstructed the events that occurred in the aircraft accident a year ago in the Guaviare jungle, where four children survived in the jungle for more than a month. Several versions of this rescue were demystified with the report.
According to the more than 40-page report delivered by the Civil Aeronautics, and after an interview with one of the four minors who was lost in the jungle, the story is straight out of a movie.
Hurida, the eldest of the brothers, decided to leave the place where the plane fell after two days, and dragged by the injuries she suffered after the fall, she left with her brothers in the direction of the Apaporis River.
“They arrived at the Apaporis, they fished with an arrow that they improvised, they did not like the raw fish, they did not fish again, from then on their only food, once the few foods they took from the plane were exhausted, was with the corozo thousand pesos, a corozo that falls from the palm trees, the humid terrain softened them and that allowed them to feed,” said Miguel Camacho Martínez, director of Civil Aeronautics Accident Investigation.
During their tour through the jungle, the four minors were alone, visualizing only animals. It was thanks to one of the hundreds of fliers that were dropped by uniformed officers from the air that they were able to find his whereabouts.
“On the flyer they were told to stay still in one place, do this and that and that makes it easier to locate them and that’s how it was. They stayed in the place on the 30th, that was on the 30th they stayed still in the place where they were finally found,” Camacho indicated.
On the 39th, June 9, they were found by a group of indigenous people. They were acutely malnourished and that night they were transferred to San José del Guaviare to be stabilized and later transferred to Bogotá for recovery.

Regarding whether the children encountered the dog, according to the report and the interview carried out with the minor, “there was no encounter with other people during their journey; nor did they have contact with any canine.”
