The ident for this airport should be SPJC, not SPIM. Unfortunately the ident can not be edited by my own, hence leaving this comment here hoping someone with the edit privileges follows-up.
Fiedl 'ident' in CSV file uses old ICAO (SPIM) instead of ne
"The text identifier used in the OurAirports URL. This will be the ICAO code if available. Otherwise, it will be a local airport code (if no conflict), or if nothing else is available, an internally-generated code starting with the ISO2 country code, followed by a dash and a four-digit number."
Several sources give this position but looking on the map above shows that this position is highly inaccessible in the mountains! Maybe, maybe a heliport?!
According to Landings (www landings com) this is a heliport in position 09°02'23.20"S 075°30'25.30"W. Also looks like this in Google Earth, at least if one steps back in time to 2008.
On Sept. 26,2013 I lost my small. purple metallic Nikon Cool Pics camera in the airport with all my photos of the two weeks I spent in Peru. Needless to say, I am heart broken and am hoping beyone hope that it was found and turned in to airport. Travel company said they contacted the airport but I am still trying. There is a reward for it's return, no questions asked as long as photo card is in tact. I flew on TACA Airlines from Juliaca to Lima leaving at approx. 11:00 AM. If anyone can spare the time to look, please let me know?
I was there for the very first landing at this airport. In June of 1970 I was sent there to turn that dirt road into a runway. Rich Eubanks reubanks@aol.com
No fuel available at this time, nor for the last 7 years. Airport is on a mesa with high ground all around it. It has an NDB approach, but it doesn't work very well due to location except for enroute navigation. Runway surface has a lot of small, pea gravel sized aasphlt rocks on it, so use of reverse is not reccomended (nor needed, as the runway is plenty long). Airport elevation is about 9000 feet MSL. Good services as regards flight planning, walking distance cafes, taxis to town, bathrooms, etc. Helicopter operations are frequent in the vicinity. We use an overhead entry to a left downwind for runway 20, but the locals will often use a long straight in approach. Power lines on the ridge on final for rwy 20. Tower speaks pretty good English.

I am reporting that the CSV dump of the airport DB for the 'ident' field still uses the old ICAO, SPIM, instead of the new one, SPJC.
My understanding is that the 'ident' field is about ICAO code, from the Data dictionary page (https://ourairports.com/help/data-dictionary.html):
"The text identifier used in the OurAirports URL. This will be the ICAO code if available. Otherwise, it will be a local airport code (if no conflict), or if nothing else is available, an internally-generated code starting with the ISO2 country code, followed by a dash and a four-digit number."
