For 40 days, military and indigenous people searched for four children lost in the Colombian jungle after an accident with the plane they were on.

When they were found alive, on June 9, many people spoke of a miracle. But indigenous groups who know the forest assure that instead of being a threat, it was the forest that saved them.

In this video, our reporter Laís Alegretti explains this story with the help of Alex Rufino, an indigenous professor specializing in survival in the jungle, and Luis Acosta, coordinator of the Indigenous Guard, who participated in the rescue together with the Colombian army.
