TL;DR Summary

Indigenous searchers in the Amazon turned to ayahuasca, a sacred hallucinogenic tea, to find four missing children who were on a plane that crashed. The searchers believed that the tea would induce visions that could lead them to the children. An elder had a vision after drinking the tea and was convinced they would find the children that day. The children's father had taken them out of their village due to safety concerns related to his illegal business dealings. The plane crashed due to engine failure and the search for the children lasted 40 days.
