Five fishermen who spent 55 days wandering at sea arrived in a port in the Galapagos today after being rescued by a tuna fishing vessel, the Ecuadorian Navy announced in Ix.
Three Peruvians and two Colombians went missing in mid-March, and were found on May 7 by the Ecuadorian ship "Aldo".
The fisherman reported damage to the alternator two days after setting sail from the Bay of Pucusana, south of Peru's capital, Lima, the navy said in a separate announcement yesterday.
The men are in stable condition, and the Navy said it is coordinating with local and foreign authorities to ensure their safe return to their home countries.
Earlier this year, another Peruvian fisherman, 61-year-old Maximo Napa, spent 95 days alone at sea. He was also rescued by an Ecuadorian ship and returned to Lima in mid-March.
