What happened
On December 9, 1967, wreckage from a cargo aircraft was discovered in a remote, heavily forested area within the Tio Barbas region of Vaupés. The aircraft was operating a transport mission specifically tasked with moving a load of rubber at the time of the accident.
Initial reports regarding the incident suggest that the impact occurred in dense jungle terrain. While there were four people on board during the flight, the outcome for the occupants varied. It is believed that two fatalities occurred among the crew, specifically involving both pilots. The remaining two individuals, consisting of one passenger and one crew member, reportedly sustained injuries but were initially thought to have survived the impact and walked away from the site.
However, following the discovery of the wreckage, a search for the survivors yielded no results, as no trace of the two people believed to have escaped the crash was ever located.
Findings
The specific circumstances leading to the aircraft entering the jungle remain unknown, as the exact cause of the crash was not documented.
