Arequipa woman survives 50-meter fall in Jacobo Hunter ravine

A 36-year-old woman, identified as Sandra Gutiérrez Gutiérrez, survived a 50-meter fall into a ravine in the Jacobo Hunter district of Arequipa on Sunday night. The incident occurred near the Hong Kong human settlement while the woman was walking toward her home in the Miraflores district.

According to reports, the fall was caused by a lack of public lighting, which led the victim to lose her balance on a path. Local residents alerted security personnel and the National Police. Rescuers from Fire Company No. 186, along with police and municipal security, conducted a two-hour operation to retrieve her from the difficult terrain.

Gutiérrez Gutiérrez sustained an open wound on her forehead and a fractured right leg. During the rescue efforts, one firefighter was also injured after falling approximately five meters. The victim was evacuated to the Honorio Delgado Espinoza Regional Hospital, where she remains under medical observation.
