The lakeside village of Puerto Callao nearby has several modest eateries popular with visitors.
- Confirm your flight details in advance as schedules for light aircraft can change with little notice.
- Carry local Peruvian soles in cash as card facilities are extremely limited in this area.
- Insect repellent is essential year-round due to the dense Amazonian environment surrounding the airport.
- Allow extra travel time, as road conditions between Yarinacocha and central Pucallpa can be poor during the rainy season.
