What was supposed to be the experience of a lifetime for Daniel Florian quickly turned into a nightmare when the German tourist found himself lost in the Colombian jungle for seven days.

Daniel was last seen in the Putumayo region in southwest Colombia where he participated in a ritual in which he ingested yage tea, a potent psychedelic, before he got separated from his group. Colombian military personnel discovered the disorientated tourist after a week-long search. They took him to a local hospital to be treated for dehydration.

It’s not yet clear how he survived in the jungle for a week, but it shows that even the best-planned trips can go off the rails
