The children managed to escape the wreckage and sought shelter under a large tree.
During their 15-day ordeal, the children sustained themselves by eating flour, candy, and fruit they found in the jungle.
They also relied on drinking water from a nearby stream.
The children endured hunger, cold, insect bites, and infections during their time in the jungle.
A rescue team, utilizing helicopters, drones, and ground troops, successfully located the children on June 11.
The survivors were airlifted to a hospital in San Jose del Guaviare for recovery.
Authorities are investigating the cause of the crash and the reasons for the delay in finding the survivors.
