From Friday 19th we are anxious for an accident in a cave in Peru. The wounded man is Cecilio Lopez Tercero, Spanish of Madrid strong caver and cave-diver, who often collaborated with La Venta in Mexico and Uzbekistan. The news coming and that we invite you to follow in the blog opened bi friends of Madrid are increasingly encouraging.
But the fact remains that this is a particularly complicated rescue operation for the conditions of Cecilio (stable but we do not know the exact extent of the injury until they come out of the cave), for the depth of the cave (400 meters from the news received), and by the fact that the area is remote and difficult to access.
The Peruvian cavers are already active in the operations together with a large group of French who live for some time in Peru and who are experts for rescue in caves. They're also coming up on site Spanish cavers already departed and others are ready to do so. The National Rescue Italian team was contacted but for the moment it is in stand-by waiting to see if they will need another team.
The Madrid group has opened a subscription to help financially those who went to Peru (own expense). The cost of the intervention will not be low, and therefore those who want to help will be welcome (always at this web address data for subscription). For our part, a certainty: Cecilio is strong and too good to give up. We are sure it will come out! Go Ceci!
