Dining options within the airport itself are extremely limited or non-existent given its small size. Travellers are advised to eat in Picota town before departure, where local restaurants serve traditional Peruvian Amazonian dishes such as juane and tacacho. The town market area offers affordable and authentic local food options.
- Confirm your flight schedule directly with your carrier well in advance as services are infrequent and subject to change.
- Arrive early as the terminal has minimal waiting amenities and last-minute logistics can be challenging.
- Carry local Peruvian soles in cash as ATM access in Picota is limited.
- Insect repellent is strongly recommended given the airport's proximity to the Amazon basin.
