  "connection_tips": "Padre Aldamiz International Airport (PEM) is the primary gateway to Puerto Maldonado and the southern Peruvian Amazon. Ground transport is well-supported; official taxis meet all scheduled domestic arrivals from Lima and Cusco and reach the city center in 10-15 minutes for roughly $4-6 USD (15-20 PEN). Moto-taxis are also plentiful outside the gates for a more affordable, though less comfortable, city link.\n\nA unique connection tip: most travelers visiting eco-lodges are met by their lodge staff inside the terminal for a coordinated transfer to the river wharf. The terminal is modern and handles processing quickly Lodge staff meeting passengers inside the terminal is common here, because the airport functions as the handoff point for river and jungle itineraries.\n\nArrive 90 minutes early for domestic departures. Facilities include basic cafes and souvenir shops. Ensure you have cash (PEN) for all local transport, as card facilities are rare Eco-lodge transfers are often handled by staff at the terminal, which is why the airport works best when the river-and-jungle handoff is already confirmed. A lodge staff pickup should already be confirmed, because the river wharf handoff is the real part of the Amazon itinerary and the town ride is just the bridge there.",

  "terminal_info": "Padre Aldamiz International Airport (PEM), also known as Puerto Maldonado International Airport, is the primary aviation gateway to the southern Peruvian Amazon and the world-renowned Tambopata National Reserve. The airport operates from a single, compact passenger terminal building designed for high efficiency and rapid transit, reflecting its role as a critical link for eco-tourists and scientific researchers. Located approximately 4.3 miles (7 km) west of the Puerto Maldonado city center, it acts as a vital infrastructure hub for the Madre de Dios region.\n\nThe terminal infrastructure provides a range of essential amenities for travelers, including several small caf\u00e9s and the 'Harina de Otro Costal' pizzeria in the public area. Passengers have access to the airside Andes Salon VIP lounge, which offers air conditioning, refreshments, and dedicated Wi-Fi for those seeking a more comfortable waiting environment. The facility also features multiple retail stalls selling traditional Amazonian crafts, local chocolates from Chozu, and travel essentials, ensuring a convenient experience for visitors transitioning to remote jungle lodges.\n\nGround transportation to central Puerto Maldonado and the nearby river ports is well-supported by local taxi and moto-taxi services located directly outside the arrivals hall, with the journey typically taking 15 to 20 minutes. Many high-end eco-lodges provide pre-arranged shuttle transfers for their guests, coordinating arrivals with the frequent daily links from Lima and Cusco provided by LATAM and SKY Airline. Travelers should be aware that the terminal typically operates between 6:00 AM and 6:00 PM and that health authorities may occasionally request proof of Yellow Fever vaccination for those entering or departing this tropical region.",
