About Acaricuara Airport
Acaricuara Airport is a small domestic airstrip serving Acaricuara, a village in the municipality of Mitú in Colombia's Vaupés Department. The airport supports essential air access for this remote part of southeastern Colombia, where road connections are limited and rivers form an important transport network.
The airfield is located near the Acaricuara community, approximately 56 kilometres from Mitú, and sits at an elevation of about 179 metres above sea level. It is suited to small aircraft and is used mainly for domestic and charter flights rather than large commercial services.
Onward travel from the airport is typically arranged with local operators in advance. Depending on conditions, visitors may continue by river, on foot, or by limited road transport, and Mitú is the main departmental connection point for onward flights.
Because of its remote setting, the airport provides basic passenger facilities rather than a large terminal experience. Travelers should plan carefully and confirm flight and transport arrangements before arriving.
