About Las Malvinas/Echarate Airport
Las Malvinas/Echarate Airport is a private aerodrome serving the Las Malvinas natural gas plant in the remote Cusco Region of Peru. The runway is adjacent to the plant, which processes gas from the Camisea fields, and aviation is the main transport link to the site.
The airport is located in Echarate District, La Convención Province, on the lower Urubamba River. No towns are close to the facility, and the nearest regional centres are Quillabamba and Cusco, with Cusco roughly 215 km away.
The airfield has a single compacted gravel runway of about 1,670 metres oriented 17/35, suited to operational and charter flights. Facilities are limited and oriented to plant operations rather than commercial passenger traffic.
Because of its remote location, surface access to major population centres is not practical, and most travellers reach or leave the site by air or through transport coordinated by the plant operator.
