Small regional airport serving San Vicente del Caguán, Colombia.

Location
San Vicente del Caguán, Colombia
Yaguara Airport (IATA: AYG, ICAO: SKYA) is a small regional airport serving San Vicente del Caguán, a municipality in the Caquetá department of southern Colombia. The airport provides essential air connectivity to a region that has limited road infrastructure and has historically been remote and difficult to access by land. The airport primarily handles light aircraft and regional turboprop services, supporting both civilian passengers and logistical needs for the surrounding area. San Vicente del Caguán gained international attention in the late 1990s as the site of peace negotiations between the Colombian government and FARC guerrillas, and the airport played a role in facilitating access to the demilitarized zone during that period. Given the region's geography and limited ground transportation options, the airport remains an important link for residents and government operations in this part of the Colombian Amazon basin.
