About Monfort Airport
Monfort Airport is a small regional airfield serving Monfort, an indigenous community in Colombia's southeastern Vaupés department near the border with Brazil. It supports regional and charter flights that connect remote Amazonian settlements with Mitú, the capital of Vaupés.
The airfield has a single dirt-and-grass runway and is used mainly for passenger and supply flights rather than large-scale commercial traffic. Because road access in the surrounding area is extremely limited, the airport is an important link for local mobility and access to services.
Monfort is located about 80 km southeast of Mitú and is normally reached by air in around 20 minutes; river transport also plays an important role in the region. Travellers should confirm flight and ground arrangements in advance.
Facilities at the airfield are basic, so the airport functions as a practical access point for remote Vaupés communities rather than a conventional commercial airport.
