Gateway to the cloud forest city of Chachapoyas, Peru.

Location
Chachapoyas, Peru
Chachapoyas Airport (IATA: CHH, ICAO: SPPY) is a small regional airport serving the city of Chachapoyas, the capital of the Amazonas Region in northern Peru. It provides essential air connectivity to a city that is otherwise relatively isolated due to the surrounding Andean terrain and limited road infrastructure. The airport sits at an elevation of approximately 7,860 feet (2,396 meters) above sea level, which presents operational challenges typical of high-altitude Andean airports. It primarily handles domestic flights connecting Chachapoyas to Lima and other Peruvian cities. Chachapoyas serves as a base for travelers exploring the Amazonas Region, including the nearby Kuelap fortress, the archaeological site associated with the ancient Chachapoya culture, and various cloud forest ecosystems.
Terminals
The airport has a single small terminal building suited to its low passenger volumes as a regional facility.
Getting to & from
