The two men were in the Sao Rafael community and returning by boat to the nearby city of Atalaia do Norte but never arrived. After what has been criticized as a slow start, the Brazilian army, the navy, civil defense, state police and Indigenous volunteers have been mobilized in the search.
Speaking at the Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles Friday, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro vowed that his armed forces were working "tirelessly" to find them, according to Reuters.
