Los niños del Amazonas

I tried a lot and couldn't get an explanation. After 40 days of searching by the best-trained military in the world in survival and jungle tracking, the four children appeared just ten meters from the place where an indigenous shaman said they would be. Everything happened under the influence of yagé, a sacred drink that, according to Amazonian cultures, cures illnesses and provides a visionary dream that for a few minutes allows you to delve into the depths of your mind or travel freely in space and time. . In the interviews for this book, the president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, told me that in his youth he tried yagé on two occasions. The first time he discovered that caring for nature should be the main reason for his life. The second gave her the shocking vision of his own death. This is also the story of abused children who found the opportunity to be happy behind a tragedy; that of indigenous communities that live in poverty, but that are owners of the gigantic lung that can save the human species; that of a general who won the most important battle of his life without firing a single shot and that of a sniffer dog that located the footprints of the surviving children, but he could not find the way out of the jungle.
