High-altitude gateway to Peru's Cordillera Blanca region.

Location

Anta, Peru

Comandante FAP German Arias Graziani Airport is a small regional airport serving the city of Anta, located near Huaraz in the Ancash region of Peru. Situated at an elevation of approximately 3,010 meters (9,876 feet) above sea level, it serves as a key access point to the Cordillera Blanca mountain range and the surrounding Andean highlands. The airport is named in honor of Comandante German Arias Graziani, a figure of the Peruvian Air Force (FAP). Due to its high-altitude location and the challenging terrain of the Andes, the airport primarily handles small aircraft and limited scheduled services, with demand largely driven by tourism related to trekking and mountaineering in the region. Huaraz, the nearest major city, is a popular base for outdoor adventurers, and the airport provides an alternative to the lengthy overland journey from Lima. Flight operations can be affected by weather conditions and the complexities of high-altitude aviation.
