THE STAR Johannesburg - 1935, July 29
In 1935 a “Lost Village” has been sighted by the pilot of a
passing air liner on the northern spurs of the Andes mountains in Colombia.
Capt. Hans Hoffmann, chief pilot of the “Scadta” (Colombia-German Air Transport
Company) sighted eight houses while he was flying between Barranquilla and
Bogota. The land in the vicinity shows no traces of cultivation and the
inhabitants of the village would live either by hunting or fishing. No trace of
the village can be found on any map.
In 2012 aerial surveys yielded the first photographic evidence
of two uncontacted tribes in a remote Colombian rainforest was yielded by.
Photos by the Amazon Conservation Team showed 5 long houses apparently
belonging to the Yuri or Carabayo and Passé – some of the last isolated tribes
in the Colombian Amazon.
