A Brit woman taken hostage by an indigenous group in Peru with her partner and son has described the horror of being surrounded by machete-wielding Amazonians with little water in sweltering conditions.
Around 120 people were detained by locals as part of a protest following constant oil spills in the Cuninico River, before being freed on Friday at 2.30pm local time.
Speaking to the Mirror from the boat, retired Charlotte Wiltshire, 54, said the situation had been “grim.”
