Four children have been found alive after more than a month of wandering in the Amazon jungle where they survived, according to Colombian President Gustavo Petro.

"Teaching them from indigenous families to live in the jungle has saved them," Petro told reporters on Friday, after announcing on Twitter that they had been found 40 days after they disappeared after the plane they were traveling in crashed.

Colombia's president said the rescue of the siblings, aged 13, nine, four and one, was "a joy for the whole country". The children's mother and two pilots died when their plane crashed in the jungle on May 1.

The missing children became the focus of a major rescue operation involving dozens of soldiers and local residents. President Gustavo Petro said finding the children was a "magical day", adding: "They were alone, they themselves achieved an example of total survival that will remain in history."

Authorities found the children after hearing the cries of the youngest child, an infant, indigenous leader Lucho Acosta told CNN on Saturday./ CNA.al
