One thing I feel is missing from the article is how brutal the conditions (for the kids and the rescue team) must have been. Extreme heat and humidity are no joke.
I don't think that applies - actually they probably had close to ideal conditions for survival, it is possible to live naked without discomfort, and some tribes do.
In what we call "temperate" climates they might have died of exposure.
I don't know about extreme heat. I have been to Colombia and there are very different climates. I am not sure exactly where they were, but it is probable that the temperature there was more warm with lots of rain.
