Puerto Rico Airport (PCC)

Puerto Rico Airport (PCC) is a regional aviation facility serving the municipality of Puerto Rico in the Caquetá Department of Colombia. The airport features a single, modest passenger terminal building designed to facilitate regional domestic travel and charter operations within the Amazonian piedmont. It acts as a vital transportation hub for this remote part of southern Colombia, connecting the local community to the departmental capital of Florencia. The terminal infrastructure is basic and focused on essential services, providing a functional waiting area and essential check-in counters for regional flights. While the facility lacks modern commercial amenities like retail shops or dining outlets, its compact size ensures rapid processing for travelers. Arriving and departing passengers are advised to handle significant logistical and dining needs in the town of Puerto Rico prior to their arrival at the airfield. The airfield features a single runway suitable for small to medium-sized turboprop aircraft and is primarily used for domestic links and emergency services. Ground transportation to central Puerto Rico is informal, typically managed via local taxis or private vehicle arrangements. Due to its location in the 'Golden Gate to the Amazon,' the airport is also a frequent choice for eco-tourists and researchers visiting the nearby Las Dalias Nature Reserve and other regional natural attractions.
