And they continued: “spirits never dieexcept those like Hermán’s: committed to life, culture, joy, affection, the brotherhood of indigenous peoples, respect in differences”.

He used to call his partner and his daughters after landing. His silence, before the loss of the aircraft was revealed, was the first family warning sign.
Furthermore, he revealed that one of his daughters had a premonitory dream about what was announced as the rescue this Wednesday. “The eldest dreamed of the children, she told me: ‘Mom, I dreamed of the child, I dreamed that he was crying and he dried my tears, so I asked him if he was alive and he said yes.'”
