It’s been recorded through the years that there are 2,414 mines in Peru. Silver, copper, lead, gold and many other minerals have been mined over the centuries. There are all kinds of mine but it is common to see many in an outcrop, shallow pit or a great big hole. Peru’s economy is diversified compared to other countries in the region and mining is the country’s economic engine driver.
Most mines are colossal in size, ranging in kilometres mostly in the High Andes mountains. Helped by an abundance of untapped earth metal reserves and a steady flow of investment capital, Peru’s mining industry has unsurprisingly continued to gain momentum with each passing year.
Now you can fly to TEN of the most interesting mines as well as to their dangerous airfields up in the High Andes mountains above 14,000 feet. Some airfields are short and dangerous and only turbo-driven aircraft make the trips.
DHC-6s are common in these skies and STOL planes are preferred. Welcome to some wonderful and unique scenery as well as very dangerous skies.
