Unique.

Enjoyed the long walk to the waiting aircraft from the boarding gate passing through a garden. Not seen it on any other airport I have been.

Ciudad Yari

¿Cuáles son los habitantes de la ciudad Yari ? He estado tratando de encontrar información sobre ellos en línea para un proyecto escolar y nadie tiene ninguna información sobre ellos.

Supuse que, dado que se trataba de su aeropuerto local , tal vez alguien puede saber ...

¿Alguien sabe algo sobre su cultura o forma de vivir ?

lo siento por mi pobre español , soy de los Estados Unidos y estoy usando Google Translate

Good airport

This is a pleasant, modern, and efficient airport. We had to wait a few minutes for a gate (because we'd landed 35 minutes early), but it wasn't nearly as bad as what I've experienced at YYZ or LAX. After landing, I was through immigration and customs much faster than I would be in a Canadian or US airport, and everyone was friendly and efficient. The car ride into the city was much nicer than, say, the urban blight you seen driving in from Newark.

One tip: travel guides say that it's best to order a car or taxi in Bogotá, rather than just getting into one. I don't know if that applies at the airport as well, but it's not expensive (it cost me about $25 for a car and driver from the airport into the Parque 93 district).

re: Wrong Coordinates

Thanks for the correction, Thorsten -- I can see the runway clearly at those coordinates, and have edited the airport.

Picture of

Wrong Coordinates

The real coordinates for Caruru Airport are 1.0136 latitude -71.2961 longitude / 1 00 49 N 71 47 16 W. Those are the official dates from Aerocivil of Colombia. Anyway with those coordinates you easily find the runway even in Google Earth.

With best regards,

Merged -- thanks, Paul.

There are two "SKAN" airports.

You should probably merge them.

airport

Leaving town on a rugged dirt road you are surprised by a nice paved road leading you to a vacant 'control tower'. Adjoining the tower is a tie down area, and when I was there you needed to bring ropes to secure your plane. The paved runway is about 5000 feet long and in very good condition. There were a few large rocks on the runway, so if you visit, be sure to walk the runway and clear it. I will visit the airport again early in 2009 and I will bring back a current status report along with photos.
