Night search on the slopes Parque Nacional La Malinche: German rescued
In the Parque Nacional La Malinche National Park, mountain patrolmen Secretaría de Seguridad Ciudadana (SSC) de Tlaxcala conducted a rescue operation and found a German hiker named Moritz who had strayed from his route.
The missing man's companion raised the alarm: at around 6:25 p.m., he reached a checkpoint near the municipality of San Francisco Tetlanohcan and reported that he had lost contact with his friend at 3 p.m. The search was complicated by the fact that the traveler's mobile phone was completely discharged, making it impossible to make calls or determine coordinates.
The mountain police unit began combing the forest areas in the direction of the border with the state Puebla, where the last landmarks indicated. The man was found alive. Due to his prolonged stay in the high-altitude cold, he suffered hypothermia, but thanks to timely assistance, his life is no longer in danger.

Apparently the poncho was already given to the tourist by the rescuers (police). But that's not what attracted attention - this German was in the mountains not in big mountain boots, but in sneakers. A very strange story.
