The children were travelling in a light plane with their mother when itcrashed into the Amazon in the early hours of 1 May, killing her and leaving the children strandedalone in an area teeming with snakes, jaguars, and mosquitoes. The children survived by eatingseeds, fruits, and cassava flour, and building makeshift shelters. They were eventually rescued by ateam of 150 troops and 200 volunteers from local indigenous groups. The children's family thankedthe army for their search efforts and urged the government to bring the children home. The Huitoto people learn hunting, fishing, and gathering from an early age, and the childrenwere well-prepared to tackle such an ordeal. The eldest children, Lesly and Soleiny, were wellacquainted with the jungle, and Lesly built makeshift shelters from branches held together with herhair ties. She also recovered fariña, a type of cassava flour, from the wreckage of the plane. Thechildren survived on the flour until it ran out and then they ate seeds and fruits from the Bacabapalm tree and the avichure tree. The children's rescue was a dramatic event, with the army coming increasingly close to findingthem. By the time the children were discovered, about 150 troops and 200 volunteers from localindigenous groups were involved in the operation, which was combing an area of more than 300 sqkm. The children were eventually found by specialist rescue dogs, which followed vital clues thatled to their discovery. They were flown to the nation's capital, Bogota, where ambulances havetaken them to hospital for further medical treatment. The children's survival is being hailed as "anexample of total survival which will remain in history".
