TOTALÁN, Spain—Efforts to reach a 2-year-old boy who fell into a borehole in southern Spain more than a week ago are nearing their most dangerous stage, an engineer on the rescue team said on Jan. 21.

The toddler, Julen, fell down the shaft as his family walked through a private estate in Totalán, Málaga, on Jan. 13. There have been no signs of life since.
