BOGOTA—Four Indigenous children who were missing for more than five weeks in a jungle in Colombia’s south following a deadly plane crash arrived in the capital Bogota early on Saturday for medical treatment.

The siblings were found on Friday in Colombia’s Caqueta Province according to the country’s armed forces and were initially treated by military medics who had been among the search teams searching for them.
