About El Charco Airport
El Charco Airport is a small regional airport serving El Charco, a riverside municipality in the Pacific coastal region of Nariño, Colombia. The airport's single runway runs parallel to the Tapaje River, about 3 kilometres from the town centre.
The airport is an important air link for this remote Pacific community, which otherwise depends on slow river and overland routes. Scheduled regional flights operated by SATENA connect El Charco with Cali, while additional services to Tumaco have been announced to strengthen access across the Colombian Pacific.
Passenger facilities are simple: a compact terminal with a basic waiting area and limited amenities reflects the airport's role as a community airfield serving small aircraft on a short asphalt runway.
From the airport, travelers can reach El Charco town by a short taxi or mototaxi ride, continue by river transport along the Tapaje, or connect onward by air through Cali and Tumaco.
