Padre Aldamiz International Airport

There is a single small terminal with arrival and departure areas configured for domestic/regional traffic. Facilities include basic check‑in and security, a small arrivals hall and some kiosks; expect short walking distances and limited retail space.

The airport is a short drive from central Puerto Maldonado - typical taxi or transfer time is about 10-20 minutes.

• Rail/metro: none.
• Buses: local buses and colectivos serve the city; schedules are informal.
• Taxis: common and the usual way to reach hotels and docks for jungle transfers.
• Driving: car hire available in town; most jungle lodges require a further boat transfer from local piers rather than direct road access.

Facilities are limited but practical: small cafés/kiosks, basic seating and restrooms. Wi‑Fi may be available in public areas but speeds can be low. There are usually no large airline lounges; charging points are limited. Luggage handling for lodge transfers is common but heavy/oversize items may be restricted - confirm limits with your lodge or carrier. Accessibility assistance should be arranged with your airline ahead of travel.

• Many hotels and lodges operate in Puerto Maldonado and on the Tambopata river; larger hotels in town often offer day rooms or can arrange airport pickups. For international chain lookups, use the hotel group websites (e.g. hilton.com, marriott.com) and search for Puerto Maldonado properties.

Tip: for long layovers or rain delays, ask hotels in Puerto Maldonado about day rooms and whether they provide airport transfers; jungle lodges require pre-arranged boat pickups from local docks.
