But all hope wasn't lost. Parrado was able to spot two low summits about 65 kilometers (40 miles) away that didn't have snow. If they could get there, he rationalized, they would be out of the high Andes. Reaching the two peaks would require more days of walking. and they didn't have enough food and drink to sustain them. But Parrado had a solution: Vizintin could return to the plane, and he and Canessa would take his supplies. They agreed on the plan, and Canessa and Parrado continued their journey.
