On October 13, 1972, a plane crashed into an Andes mountain. Some passengers managed to survive. Walking

in freezing temperatures, the survivors sought shelter inside the wreckage. They had little food and no hope

of rescue.

find help. The journey was hard and tiring. However, instead of finding an escape, they saw more icy peaks.

But hope remained. Parrado saw two snow-free peaks about 65 kilometers away. Vizintin went back to the

plane due to the lack of food while the others decided to keep going. Fortunately, they found a small river and

felt the warmth of the sun. The snow disappeared, replaced by colorful flowers. Canessa exclaimed, "This is

the valley! This is the way out."

Ten days later, on December 21st, the exhausted men arrived in the town of Los Maitenes in Chile. A rescue
