Tough one ...

First of all, what is Rio Negro's ICAO ID? I cannot locate this airport, but here's what I came up with:

SKTU Gonzalo Mejia, VFR, control tower
SKLC Antonio R. Betancourt, IFR, control tower.

Unfortunately, my charts don't indicate if you can clear customs or not. Both airport are however seem to be fairly close to the border. I assume that a field with a tower should provide customs...

There's also a small VFR field in Panama MPJE Jaque. It doesn't say if Jet-A is available or not.

Good luck!

That's the info from the DoD. I don't know if there are special regs for helis and - assuming that you're Mexican - agreements between latin/south american countries. I guess you can disregard the airports I had mentioned earlier...
