Lost German tourist rescued in Colombian jungle

A German tourist, missing for seven days in the jungles of Colombia, has been found and rescued by Colombian soldiers.

In video taken by the Colombian troops on Wednesday, Daniel Florian, appearing disoriented and dehydrated, tells the soldier kneeling next to him that he is "not so good."

"I have been eaten by the mosquitoes and the ants and I had not good equipment so I was seven days in the Amazon," Florian said.

Florian went missing on April 13 after visiting an indigenous reserve in the Putumayo region of southwest Colombia.

Local sources reported Florian had participated in an indigenous shaman ritual during which he allegedly drank Yage tea which is a psychedelic.

Florian was taken to the Mocoa Putumayo City Hospital for treatment for dehydration and various bruises and lesions he suffered while alone in the jungle.

His family in Munich, Germany had initially reported him missing.
