  "connection_tips": "Punta Colorada Airport (PCO) is a PRIVATE unpaved airstrip located in La Ribera, Los Cabos, Baja California Sur, Mexico. It handles NO scheduled commercial airline passenger flights. Access is strictly limited to authorized private pilots, agribusiness charters, and guests of the local resorts Because this is a private dirt strip, the real connection is the pre-approved vehicle waiting in La Ribera rather than anything resembling a public terminal queue.\n\nThere is NO public transport serving the airfield. If you are an authorized visitor, ground transport into town (approx. 5km away) must be pre-arranged via a private 4WD vehicle through your local host or hotel Visitors who do not already have permission from the owner should assume the airfield is not an arrival point at all, but simply a controlled access strip attached to a private development.\n\nThe facility is utilitarian with a single dirt runway and zero terminal amenities. Most commercial travelers fly into San Jos\u00e9 del Cabo (SJD) and complete the 1-hour journey by road. Ensure you have confirmed your landing permission directly with the owner before arrival Most visitors should continue to SJD unless the trip is specifically tied to the Punta Colorada property, because there is nothing on site to support casual commercial travel.",

  "terminal_info": "Punta Colorada Airport (PCO), designated by the ICAO as MMPL, is a small domestic aviation facility located near the town of La Ribera in the East Cape region of Baja California Sur, Mexico. The airport functions primarily as a private airstrip and does not feature a formal commercial passenger terminal building. It serves as a vital infrastructure link for the high-end sport fishing industry, specifically catering to guests of the Hotel Punta Colorada and other nearby luxury coastal resorts.\n\nFacilities at the airstrip are extremely minimal and reflect its status as a specialized landing ground for general aviation. There are no on-site commercial amenities such as retail shops, restaurants, or passenger lounges, and the environment is designed for essential transit only. Travelers and pilots are advised to be completely self-sufficient and to handle all logistical needs, including food and water, in the nearby town of La Ribera or through pre-arranged resort services prior to arrival.\n\nThe airfield features a single 2,282-foot unpaved dirt runway and typically operates during daylight hours under Visual Flight Rules (VFR). It is primarily utilized by small private planes and fishing charters connecting from hubs like San Jos\u00e9 del Cabo (SJD), which is located approximately 31 miles (50 km) to the south. Ground transportation is informal, with most visitors utilizing resort-provided shuttles or private vehicle transfers to reach their destinations along the Sea of Cortez coastline.",
