The growing number of visitors and the expansion of outdoor activities have created the need for a helicopter rescue service in the region. Our mission is to save lives by providing quick and effective responses in emergencies.

Strategically located in San Carlos de Bariloche, our helicopters can reach any point within a 200-kilometer radius of the city in less than an hour, efficiently covering the entire area. This service benefits not only adventurous tourists but is also crucial for residents and nearby communities.

In addition to rescue operations, we collaborate in the fight against forest fires, support mountain refuges, and enhance the regional tourism offering. Our presence strengthens safety, promotes sustainable development of adventure tourism, and improves the quality of life for the residents of Patagonia.

Experience
IBEX

Once the emergency call is made, the rescue helicopter departs towards the location with an unmatched speed compared to ground transportation. The helicopter is equipped with a doctor and a rescuer on board to provide quality primary care and then transfer the patient to the most suitable medical center based on the emergency. When every minute counts, IBEX makes the difference.

From Hours to Minutes

Mountain activities are on the rise, leading to an increase in accidents in remote areas. We propose a specialized rescue service that reduces response times, from several hours to minutes. This would make San Carlos de Bariloche the only city in the country with its own rescue service for residents and visitors.

When Every Minute Counts

The helicopter medical service would benefit both mountain dwellers and all residents. Transfer times, affected by the local geography, would be reduced to minutes, allowing for the treatment of vehicle accidents, remote residents, and transfers to major hospitals.
