Our Pilots
Our pilots are highly trained and experienced professionals with thousands of hours of flight time in the Andes. They know the Andes Mountain Range exceedingly well. Our pilots manage landing zones at high altitude with superior expertise, and demonstrate the dedication expected of successful pilots in their profession. We are confident to say that our pilots are by far the finest helicopter pilots available in the Southern Hemisphere.
Each helicopter is equipped with a GPS, satellite phone, VHF radio to maintain contact with the lodge and our guides, first aid, oxygen, avalanche, rescue, and survival equipment. We use state of the art year 2005-2006 AS 350-B3 Helicopters, and a Lama in some occasions for small groups.
