A perplexing sentence

Find and correct the mistake:
We walked into the jungle yesterday, we were tired.

My answer

1- Because we walked into the jungle yesterday, we were tired.

2- Walking into the jungle yesterday, we were tired.

I answered this question in two ways, but my teacher told me that the second sentence is wrong. Is the second sentence really wrong?

Hello Omar, Yes, your teacher was right. It should have been as follows: Walking into the jungle yesterday made us tired. Or Due to walking into the jungle yesterday, we were tired.
