Yes. The story of the Uruguayan Rugby team is very true -- their plane, a Fairchild FH-227D, crashed in the Andes Mountains of South America, specifically a remote region of Argentina, on 10/13/1972. The survivors of the crash faced hard survival at extreme altitude and were forced to eat the flesh of the dead and find a way out of the mountains to civilization for aid.
The account of the survivors was written as a non-fiction book by Piers Paul Read.
Nando Parrado himself also wrote a memoir of the ordeal he and his companions faced, published in 2006.
