Peru Andes mining projects by helicopter

Many Peruvian mines and exploration camps sit high in the Andes, far from paved roads. Helicopters move geologists, technicians and supplies to camps and drill sites. SkyMatch coordinates requests with operators certified by Peru's civil aviation authority (DGAC). Flights depend on altitude, weather and site approval. Price on request.

  • Commercial flights run with operators certified in Peru.
  • Mining companies usually set their own contractor safety requirements.

Timing & weather

  • The rainy season (roughly December–March) brings cloud and storms in the highlands.

General public rules only, not legal advice. The licensed operator confirms the landing site, permits and route for every flight.
