Remote jungle airstrip serving Ecuador's Amazonian interior.

Location
Ishpink, Ecuador
Ishpink Airstrip (ICAO: SEIH) is a small, remote airstrip located in the Amazonian region of Ecuador, near the community of Ishpink. It serves as a critical access point for communities in the Ecuadorian jungle that are otherwise difficult to reach by road. The airstrip primarily supports light aircraft operations, facilitating the movement of people, supplies, and occasionally emergency medical services in this isolated region. It is not served by scheduled commercial airlines and lacks the infrastructure of larger regional airports. Given its remote location within or near the Amazon basin, the facility is basic in nature, typical of jungle airstrips throughout Ecuador's Oriente region. Operations are generally limited to small propeller-driven aircraft suited to short, unpaved or semi-improved runways.
Getting to & from
