Puerto Carreno Airport

Puerto Carreño Airport opened in the mid-20th century and operates from a single compact terminal, serving as the main air gateway to Colombia’s Vichada department and the Orinoco River basin. This small but important regional airport handles mostly domestic connections, linking Puerto Carreño with larger hubs via road and short flights; it sits just a few kilometers from the town center with taxi and limited bus services for onward travel and easy access to nearby border crossings with Venezuela. Travelers should expect moderate to occasionally higher fares because of limited competition, and the airport is served primarily by regional carriers such as Satena with periodic services from larger Colombian airlines.
