EXCLUSIVE: Colombia jungle dad admits he DID have affair and wife took children on fateful flight to try to win him back as he reveals rescued kids are 'delicate' and too sick for visitors as they recover in hospitalBy GREG WOODFIELD IN BOGOTA, COLOMBIA, FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

The father of the two youngest Colombian jungle survivor children has confessed to DailyMail.com that he did cheat on their mom shortly before the astonishing survival ordeal.
Manuel Ranoque, 32, admitted having the affair behind the back of wife Magdalena Mucutuy Valencia, 34 – who died in the plane crash and the miraculous survival of her four children for 40 days before they were plucked from the rainforest.
‘I am made of flesh and bones and make mistakes,’ Ranoque told DailyMail.com, who exclusively revealed he cheated with a woman while in the Colombian capital Bogota and even brought her back to his indigenous Amazonian community.
Sitting down with us in a Bogota hotel, he confessed: ‘Yes I had a woman, but it was never in order to leave Magdalena.’
And he insisted the affair was now over, saying: ‘It was just a one-time thing – what happened, happened.’
