Chota Airport is a small regional airfield serving the town of Chota in the Cajamarca region of northern Peru, situated in the Andean highlands at considerable elevation. It primarily supports light aircraft and occasional charter operations connecting this remote agricultural community to larger Peruvian cities. The airport plays a modest but important role in providing air access to an area where road travel can be lengthy and challenging due to mountainous terrain.
- Main Terminal — A simple single-building facility handling basic passenger and light cargo operations for the Chota area.
- Taxis and mototaxis available outside the terminal
- Private vehicle arrangements with local drivers
- Minibus colectivos heading toward Chota town center
- Hotel El Dorado Chota
- Hostal Chota
- Hotel Los Portales Chota
Dining options within the airport itself are extremely limited or nonexistent given the facility's small scale. The town of Chota offers local Peruvian Andean cuisine at modest restaurants and market stalls, featuring dishes such as cuy, locro, and regional soups.
- Confirm flight availability well in advance as scheduled services are infrequent and subject to change.
- Altitude in the Chota area is significant; allow time to acclimatize, especially if arriving from sea level.
- Carry local currency (Peruvian soles) as card payment facilities may be unavailable.
- Road access to Chota from Chiclayo or Cajamarca is an alternative if flights are unavailable, though journey times are several hours.
