  "connection_tips": "Carimagua Airport (CCO) is a specialized regional airfield in the Meta Department of Colombia, primarily serving the Carimagua Research Center and the Alliance Bioversity-CIAT. Because it lacks regularly scheduled commercial airline service, \"connecting\" to CCO is a complex logistical process that requires advance coordination. Most visitors arrive via private charter or government flights from Bogota\u2019s El Dorado International Airport (BOG) or Vanguardia Airport (VVC) in Villavicencio. If you are arriving in Bogota on an international flight, you will land at Terminal 1.\n\nTo reach regional charter departures, you may need to transfer to Terminal 2 via the free \"Eldorado Shuttle Bus,\" which operates every 20 minutes. If a direct flight to CCO is unavailable, the most common alternative is a multi-modal journey from Bogota. This involves a 4 to 5-hour drive to Villavicencio, followed by a journey through Puerto L\u00f3pez and Puerto Gait\u00e1n. Beyond Puerto Gait\u00e1n, the road to Carimagua is often unpaved and can take an additional 4 to 6 hours, especially during the rainy season from April to November.\n\nIt is highly recommended to coordinate with the CIAT or Agrosavia logistics office to secure a seat on their internal 4x4 shuttles. Always carry your official invitation or credentials, as military checkpoints are common in this part of the Llanos Orientales. Additionally, Puerto Gait\u00e1n is the last location with reliable ATMs and pharmacies, so ensure you have all essential supplies and cash before proceeding to the remote research station.",

  "terminal_info": "Carimagua Airport (CCO), also identified by its ICAO code SKCI, is a small public airport located in the Meta Department of Colombia, primarily serving the rural community of Carimagua. Situated in a vast agricultural region, the airport is a crucial logistical point for scientific research, particularly for the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), which conducts extensive studies on savanna ecosystems and livestock production. It also supports local farming operations and provides essential air access for the surrounding areas.\n\nThe terminal facilities at Carimagua Airport are basic, reflecting its role as a small, specialized airfield rather than a commercial passenger hub. Typically, the airport consists of a simple building that houses a small waiting area and administrative space. There are no commercial amenities such as retail shops, restaurants, or extensive lounges, so visitors are advised to bring their own refreshments and any necessary supplies. The atmosphere is quiet and functional, focused on supporting the research and agricultural activities in the region.\n\nOperational infrastructure at CCO includes a single asphalt runway, approximately 1,200 meters long, suitable for light aircraft and small turboprops. The airport operates under visual flight rules (VFR) and is equipped with a non-directional beacon (NDB) to aid navigation. Given its remote location, ground transportation is typically pre-arranged with research institutions or local contacts. Travelers should be aware that services are extremely limited, and all logistical needs should be planned in advance.",
