Five fishermen—three Peruvians and two Colombians—arrived safely in the Galapagos Islands on Saturday after spending 55 days adrift in the Pacific Ocean, according to the Ecuadorian navy.
The men, missing since mid-March, were rescued on May 7 by the Ecuadorian tuna boat Aldo and brought to the San Cristobal Navy Base. All were reported to be in stable condition. The group—identified as Vladimir González, 32; José Albines, 52; José Gabriel Albines, 31; Jhonny García, and Jorge Ugarte, 40—had set off from Pucusana Bay, south of Lima, but their boat suffered alternator failure just two days into the journey.
The navy said it is working with both local and foreign authorities to facilitate their return home.
The case echoes that of Peruvian fisherman Máximo Napa, who earlier this year survived 95 days alone at sea before being rescued by an Ecuadorian vessel. Napa later told local media he stayed alive by eating cockroaches, birds, and turtles.
