La Pedrera Airport guide

La Pedrera Airport (ICAO SKLP) serves La Pedrera, a Caquetá River town in the Amazonas Department of southern Colombia. The town lies close to the Brazilian border and a few kilometres from the mouth of the Apaporis River. It is surrounded by the Río Puré and Yaigojé Apaporis national natural parks, and the field sits about 180 metres above sea level.

The airport has one asphalt runway, 15/33, which is 1,400 metres long. A further 290 metres of unpaved overrun lies beyond the southeast end. The runway runs northwest to southeast, and a non-directional beacon with the identifier LPD stands on the field to guide approaches.

Air service is the main fast link to the rest of Colombia from this remote part of the Amazon, where the river is the other route. SATENA flies from the airport to Leticia. There are no other towns of any size nearby, and the airport has no commercial services of its own.
