Local cuisine features typical Amazonian dishes including freshwater fish, açaí, and regional staples.

Traveller Tips
  • Confirm your flight schedule directly with the airline or airport, as services can be infrequent and subject to change.
  • Carry sufficient cash, as ATMs and card payment facilities are scarce in this remote area.
  • Insect repellent is essential given the dense Amazon surroundings near the airport.
  • Arrange ground transport in advance, as taxis and transfers are not always readily available upon arrival.
