About Punta Colorada Airport
Punta Colorada Airport is a small privately owned, public-use airstrip in the Municipality of Los Cabos, Baja California Sur. It carries the IATA code PCO and the ICAO code MMPL, and it sits about 5 km from La Ribera on the East Cape of the Baja California peninsula.
The airfield has a single unpaved dirt runway and is used solely for general aviation. It mainly supports private aircraft, sport-fishing charters and guests travelling to Hotel Punta Colorada and nearby coastal resorts, rather than scheduled commercial airline traffic.
There is no regular public transport at the airfield, so most visitors arrange private road transfers through their hotel or operator. La Ribera is a short drive away, Los Barriles is about 19 km to the north, and Los Cabos International Airport (SJD) at San José del Cabo provides the nearest scheduled airline connections roughly 75 km by road.
