Gateway to Peru's remote Amazon jungle region.

Location

Yurimaguas, Peru

Moises Benzaquen Rengifo Airport serves Yurimaguas, a port city in the Loreto and San Martín regions of northeastern Peru, situated deep within the Amazon basin. The airport provides a critical air link for a city that is otherwise accessible mainly by river or lengthy overland routes through challenging terrain. The airport handles domestic flights connecting Yurimaguas to Lima and other Peruvian cities, making it an essential piece of infrastructure for the region's commerce, healthcare access, and administrative functions. It was named in honor of Moises Benzaquen Rengifo, a notable local figure. Given the remote nature of Yurimaguas and the surrounding jungle environment, the airport plays a disproportionately important role in regional connectivity compared to its modest size and traffic volumes.
