Ayahuasca Rituals and Child Rescue in Colombia's Jungle

Indigenous volunteers in Colombia turned to ayahuasca, a hallucinogenic tea, to induce visions that could lead them to four children who survived a plane crash in the jungle for 40 days. The eldest sibling's knowledge of how to survive in the rainforest, taught by her grandmother, helped them survive. The volunteers credit the yagé and the vision of an elder among their group for their rescue. The siblings were found just 3 miles from the crash site and were airlifted out of the dense forest.
