Police and armed forces staff “located and rescued the two girls, Australian and English, kidnapped in Cuyabeno,” Interior Minister Jose Serrano said on Twitter, on Saturday.
The women, a British and another from Australia, traveling in a canoe were part of a group of seven tourists when they were kidnapped near the nature reserve in Tarapora province.
It was not known who were behind the kidnappings, but according police officers, Colombian ex-paramilitary group known as Black Eagles may have abducted the tourists.
Neither specifics of the rescue nor the identification of the tourists were known immediately.
