From the Wikipedia article
Expresso Aéreo Flight 028 (9D028/EPR028) was a domestic flight from Juanjuí to Lima, with scheduled stopovers at Tocache and Tingo María. On 25 February 1994, the Yakovlev Yak-40 with 31 occupants onboard, operating the flight, collided with Mount Carpish after taking off from Tingo María Airport, killing all 31 onboard.
Accident
The aircraft took off from Tingo María Airport and climbed to 13,000 feet. Six minutes later, the aircraft collided with the slope of Mount Carpish and exploded. The crash happened during a day of bad weather, with heavy rain and dense fog leading to reduced visibility. The plane reportedly crashed into a particular elevation called "Tres Alcantarillas." The wreckage was located 45 kilometers southwest of the airport and spread over 660 feet. Air Force pilots found the aircraft, leading to 35 climbers discovering the wreckage of the aircraft on March 5th in an isolated area.
