On Christmas Eve 1971 Juliana left Lima by air with her mother. They were on their way to Pucallpa, another town in Peru. Forty-five minutes later the plane broke up in a storm, and Juliana fell 3,000 meters, strapped in her seat. She was not killed when the seat hit the ground but she lay all night unconscious.
The next morning Juliana woke up, and found herself among the broken pieces of the plane, and called for her mother, but nobody answered. Juliana's collar bone was broken, one knee was badly hurt and she had deep cuts on her arms and legs. She decided to try to get out of the jungle, because she knew that if she stayed there she would die.
After ten days she came to a river and saw a hut. People discovered her and took her to a doctor in the next village. Juliana knew afterwards that there were at least three other people who were not killed in the crash, but she was the only one who got rescued.
