The local officials and the Colombian military got involved shortly after, searching for the wreckage and hopefully survivors. Upon discovering the plane, they found all three adults dead including the mother of the four children. The search raged on, employing the help of multiple helicopters.

The search party got a tip from a pilot who worked with the airline. He had been informed that the children were spotted being transported in a boat by indigenous people, and so fairly safe. Yet, since they had not received any official affirmation that the kids were secure, the search party continued. The team stumbled across many clues including a makeshift shelter, a baby bottle, and some other items that don’t belong in the jungle. Thankfully, following the dispatch of 100 soldiers, some helicopters, and search dogs the children ages 11 months, 4 years-old, 9, and 13 were found and secured after 17 days.

The New York Post reported the Colombian President Gustavo Petro sharing the good news: “After arduous searching by our military, we have found alive the four children who went missing after a plane crash in Guaviare. A joy for the country.”
