On Sunday, a 62-year-old commercial representative named Eduardo Junqueira was rescued by helicopter after losing his way on a biking trail in Campinas, São Paulo. He got lost in the region of Pico das Cabras, located between the districts of Sousas and Joaquim Egídio, prompting a search operation by the local police aviation team. Junqueira had sent his location via WhatsApp after realizing he could not return to his group, which significantly aided in the rescue effort.

The rescue operation was captured on video, showcasing the challenging conditions faced by the rescuer helicopter as it maneuvered through the dense area to locate and retrieve Junqueira. When found, he was reported to be dehydrated and exhausted but thankfully had not sustained any serious injuries. The helicopter crew provided immediate medical attention upon landing at the Observatório Pico das Cabras.

After being stabilized by the medical team, Junqueira opted not to be transferred to a health facility, which indicates that he was recovering and in manageable condition. This incident highlights both the risks associated with biking in unfamiliar terrains and the efficient response of local emergency services in ensuring the safety of individuals in distress.
