The four Indigenous children who survived 40 days in the Amazon jungle after their plane crashed were recovering Sunday in a military hospital in Colombia, as new details of their harrowing story emerged in a country still mesmerized by their saga.
The children were traveling with their mother from the Amazonian village of Araracuara to San Jose del Guaviare when the plane went down.
Authorities and family members have said the children survived eating cassava flour and seeds, and that some familiarity with the rainforest’s fruits were also key to their survival. The kids are members of the Huitoto Indigenous group. Gen. Pedro Sanchez, who was in charge of the rescue efforts, said that the children were found 3 miles away from the crash site in a small forest clearing. He said rescue teams had passed within 66 to 164 feet of where the children were found on a couple of occasions but had missed them.
