(CNN) -
Security forces rescued two tourists Saturday, just one day after they were kidnapped in a remote region of northeast Ecuador, the Interior Ministry said.
The Interior and Environment Ministries offered slightly different accounts of what happened.
According to both, the tourists were part of a group that was attacked Friday. Others in the group were let go.
The attack occurred either inside or near the Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve, which is located in the northeast province of Sucumbios near the border with Colombia.
