The geography of the region is notoriously challenging. This rugged terrain complicated the search for the group, who had been unaccounted for since Thursday.
There was a complicating factor in the group’s history. Chilevisión reported that one of the missing individuals had previously gotten lost in the zone, a detail that provided critical context for the rescue teams as they combed the area.

The disappearance resonated beyond the emergency services. According to La Cuarta, Pangal Andrade, a noted mountaineer, also addressed the case of the missing persons in Cajón del Maipo.
