Circumstances:
The aircraft was performing a flight from San Ramón to Iscosasin with a pilot and nine children aged between 9 and 14. While cruising at a too low altitude, the aircraft hit tree tops and crashed in a jungle located in the region of Iscosasin, about 400 km east of Lima. Two children were killed on impact while a third one died from his injuries few hours later. The pilot and six children were able to walk during one week in the jungle prior to find help in a village. The airplane may have been operated by Servicios Aéreos SA.
