The Spanish man and Brazilian woman, both 29, had earlier contacted their hotel to say they were lost. The hotel could tell their exact location after the tourists sent a location signal via their mobile phone. But the tourists then said that their battery was about to die. On the way they found two British people and a Canadian who were also lost and glad of their assistance, reported Channel 7 TV news. Soon calls into the gloaming were answered and the tourists who had phoned earlier were successfully rescued from the forest.
