Three women, aged 59, 70, and 71, were rescued after being lost in a forest in Morretes, Paraná, for more than 20 hours. The women, who are sisters, went missing on Saturday afternoon after venturing out for a walk in the region. They had initially traveled by minibus to a point where further road access was unavailable and proceeded on foot along a train track into the woods, which led them to lose their way. Captain Tamires Pereira provided details about their situation, emphasizing that the sisters did not carry food or safety supplies for their trip.

The search for the women began when one of their sons reported them missing to the firefighters in Paranaguá. After spending the night in the forest, they managed to call for help the next morning, catalyzing a rescue operation. The authorities were alerted around noon on Sunday, and the heroes of the rescue team were able to locate them safe but exhausted. This incident highlights the dangers of venturing into unfamiliar terrain without proper preparation and emphasizes the importance of carrying safety equipment and notifying someone about one’s whereabouts.

This rescue operation concludes with a sense of relief, as all three women were found unharmed and the community acknowledges the efforts of the local fire department. It serves as a reminder for individuals to ensure safety practices when engaging in outdoor activities, especially in remote areas where getting lost can have serious consequences.
