The PNC and Comandos de Salvamento start an intense operation of SAR looking for the Germans.

Two Germans became missing Tuesday afternoon around the Chaparriastique Volcano in San Miguel. Comandos de Salvamento, National Firefighters, and other first responder groups participated in the search.

Luckily the Germans, Jens Bauer and Anika Jentner, were located and examined by our Medics to rule out any injuries or illnesses.

Jens Bauer y Anika Jentner went missing for 5 hours.
