In April 2001, four forest engineering students; Edgar Ramírez, Andrea Castillo, Johana Cabrera and Asdrúbal Esteves,
went to spend their Easter vacation in El Cocuy National Park, Colombia, but only three of them came back home.
They had to face cold, hunger, homesickness and the dangers of the Andean moor. When they arrived in the park,
they were making jokes and laughing. Unfortunately, soon everything turned into a nightmare. The first day, while
they were checking the park map, they noticed there were two main paths, which were marked with milestones to
guide hikers. As the mist was thick and a milestone was in the wrong place, they got lost. Soon they ran out of food,
so they became weak and vulnerable. To make matters worse, the weather conditions were bad. During their ordeal,
they tried to help each other as much as possible. While Andrea and Asdrúbal were having some rest, the others picked
wild mushrooms and plants for dinner. They fought against nature. Once Edgar decided to cross a dangerous river, but
the others preferred climbing a high rock instead. The rock was wet and slippery, as a result, they fell eight meters
down. Miraculously, none of them were seriously hurt. On a sunny day, they decided to air-dry all their stuff, but the
weather changed unexpectedly. While it was pouring down, they were trying to put their things inside their tent. The
river carried away many things, including their shoes. Edgar and Asdrúbal had to walk barefoot, and got thorns stuck
in their feet. On the 38th day, they got to a knee-deep stream that did not seem dangerous, but unfortunately the
heavy flow took Asdrúbal away from his friends. As he didn't know how to swim, he drowned. The youngsters were
downhearted and depressed. Three days later, while they were walking, they found a house in Tame, Arauca. When
the forest rangers and the police arrived, they cried out of both happiness and sadness at the same time. It was a
miracle to have finally found civilization.
