Tocache Airport is a small regional airstrip serving the town of Tocache in the San Martín region of central Peru, nestled within the Upper Huallaga Valley. It primarily supports light aviation and occasional charter or regional flights connecting this remote agricultural community to larger Peruvian cities. The airport plays a modest but important logistical role for a region historically significant for coca eradication and now focused on sustainable agriculture.
- Main Terminal — A basic single-room facility handling arrivals and departures for light aircraft and small regional carriers.
- Mototaxi (auto-rickshaw) — most common local option from the airstrip into town
- Private taxi arranged locally or through your accommodation
- Colectivo shared minivans running between Tocache and nearby towns
- Hotel El Rey Tocache
- Hostal Amazonas Tocache
- Hostal San Martín Tocache
The airport itself has no formal dining facilities given its small scale. The town of Tocache, a short mototaxi ride away, offers local comedores serving Peruvian jungle cuisine including fresh river fish, juane rice dishes, and tropical fruits. Street food stalls near the main plaza are popular with locals and budget travellers.
- Confirm your flight schedule directly with the operator as services can be irregular and subject to weather cancellations.
- Carry sufficient local cash (soles) as ATMs in Tocache may be limited and card acceptance is rare.
- Arrival transfers are best pre-arranged through your hotel, as formal taxi services are scarce at the airstrip.
- The valley can be very humid; light, breathable clothing and insect repellent are strongly recommended.
