survived 40 days
Ranoque said before she died, the mother likely would have told them: "Go away," apparently asking them to leave the wreckage site to survive. He provided no more details. Authorities have not said anything about this version. Fidencio Valencia, a child's uncle, told the media outlet Noticias Caracol that the children were starting to talk and one of them said they hid in tree trunks to protect themselves in a jungle area filled with snakes, animals and mosquitoes. He said they were exhausted.
The children were traveling with their mother from the Amazonian village of Araracuara to the town of San Jose del Guaviare when the plane went down. After being rescued on Friday, the children were transported in a helicopter to Bogota and then to the military hospital, where President Gustavo Petro, government and military officials, as well as family members met with the children on Saturday.
