The unknown and painful details of the suffering of the oldest girl rescued in the jungle of Colombia

Traveling for so many days through the intricate jungle of Guaviare, Colombia, finally hit Lesly, the 13-year-old native girl who became a guide for her three little brothers after surviving the accident of the plane crashing into the Colombian jungle on May 1 2023.

The heat, hunger and dehydration took their toll. This, added to the tiredness and drowsiness, disoriented the eldest of the Mucutuy children.

They could have walked in circles… who knows. The trauma of the plane crash, the untimely and tragic loss of his mother, the noise of the jungle, the mosquitoes, the rainy hours and the knowledge that he was in a wildlife area would have caused him stress and anxiety.

A sequence of events that overwhelms an adult, let’s do the exercise of imagining for a few seconds what was going through Lesly’s head, who was also in charge of Cristín. His youngest sister celebrated her first year of life when they were in the jungle.

Why were the four children and their mother traveling on the plane that crashed in Colombia’s Guaviare jungle? The truth of Magdalena Mucutuy’s escape

“The girl Lesly had visions, she was in the last life”

The 13-year-old girl starts talking about the bitter hours in the Guaviare jungle.

She has described to her grandfather, Narciso Mucutuy, what she felt during those 40 days of being lost in such extreme conditions.

Mucutuy recounted Lesly’s nightmare to Vicky Dávila in Semana.

“The girl told me she was out of breath, she had no strength, she felt weak. She lost her memory, she had visions and saw lights. There they stood still in that place. They couldn’t walk anymore,” he said.

Lesly was already seeing visions, she couldn’t walk, which means she was in the last life.

Narciso Mucutuy, grandfather

Three of the grandchildren have told Narciso Mucutuy that “they have not met snakes, tigers, or bears”.

From her recovery bed, at the Bogotá Military Hospital, Lesly told her relatives “that she was never afraid, despite the situation of being completely alone and insecure.”

“Save yourself and your brothers”: the alleged plea of ​​the mother of the 4 children rescued in the jungle of Colombia, which the maternal grandfather denied

“loss of thought”

“My granddaughter,” Narciso told Vicky in Semana, “was lost in thought because of the fright she got.

We, the indigenous people (to the children) from the age of 3 started teaching them little by little and when they were 5 years old we took them into the jungle.

That contact, from a young age, was vital for Lesly to sufficiently manage what she had to do and not to endanger the life of 9-year-old Soleiny; Ten Noriel, 5, and baby Cristín.

A miracle in the jungle of Colombia

Seasoned in experience and indigenous knowledge, Narciso thinks the rescue of his four grandchildren was miraculous. Fatima, the grandmother, has said she thanks Mother Earth for releasing the minors.

Lesly was traveling with her mother, Magdalena Mucutuy, her siblings and two other adults on the plane that crashed May 1 in the Guaviare jungle. Only Magdalena’s children survived and they were found on June 9, 2023.

For Narciso Mucutuy, “this was like a miracle my God did, who turned the children over to the people they were looking for. That was like a last moment.”

What this older adult says confirms that Lesly is a warrior, a heroine who fought for 40 days and won the battle for life in the Guaviare jungle.
