What happened
While performing a flight from Iquitos toward El Estrecho, the aircraft experienced mechanical difficulties involving its engines. In response to these engine problems, the crew decided to perform an emergency descent to land on the Río Algodón. During this maneuver, the aircraft collided with trees and came to rest within a heavily forested region located approximately 22 km south of El Estrecho.
Findings
The accident resulted in 8 fatalities, including both pilots, and left 13 injuries among the remaining passengers. The primary factor leading to the crash was the engine failure encountered during the flight.
