We are Partner with Global Rescue & Magnus
At “Socorro Andino Peruano,” we partner with Global Rescue, MAGNUS, and Magen to offer the best protection and risk management services in the world. While medical and security emergencies can happen, we rely on Global Rescue and MAGNUS to provide our clients with medical, security, crisis response, and travel risk services, while Magen supports us as a leading Israeli company in training rescue forces and managing disasters. Their experience in search and rescue in urban and mountainous environments allows us to locate missing persons and ensure their safe return home. Since a non-member emergency evacuation could cost over $100,000, we strongly recommend enrolling in Global Rescue, especially for expeditions to peaks over 6,000 meters.
