Gateway to the Colombian Amazon on the triple frontier.

Location
Leticia, Colombia
Alfredo Vásquez Cobo International Airport serves Leticia, the southernmost city in Colombia, situated in the Amazon rainforest where Colombia, Brazil, and Peru meet. The airport is named after Colombian general and diplomat Alfredo Vásquez Cobo and is the primary air link for a city that has no road connection to the rest of Colombia. Because Leticia is accessible only by air or river, the airport plays a critical logistical role for both passengers and freight, including medical supplies and essential goods. It also supports tourism to the Colombian Amazon and connects travelers heading to the neighboring Brazilian city of Tabatinga. The airport operates international services primarily to and from Peru and Brazil given its border location, though most regular scheduled flights connect Leticia with Colombian cities such as Bogotá.
Terminals
The airport has a single passenger terminal handling both domestic and limited international traffic.
Getting to & from
Ground transport into Leticia is limited to taxis and mototaxis, as the city has no connecting road network to the rest of Colombia.
Airlines here
Avianca and LATAM Colombia are the primary carriers operating scheduled services, with connections mainly to Bogotá.
