Peru's northern gateway on the Pacific coast.

Location
Tumbes, Peru
Captain Pedro Canga Rodríguez International Airport (IATA: TBP, ICAO: SPME) serves Tumbes, the capital of the Tumbes Region in far northern Peru, near the border with Ecuador. It is the primary air link for this coastal city, supporting both domestic tourism and regional connectivity. The airport is named in honor of Captain Pedro Canga Rodríguez, a Peruvian aviation figure. It handles a modest volume of passengers, primarily traveling to and from Lima, and supports the region's economy, which is driven by fishing, agriculture, and beach tourism at nearby resorts such as Punta Sal and Máncora. As an international airport in name, TBP primarily sees domestic traffic. Its location in one of Peru's smallest and northernmost regions means flight options are limited, with services concentrated on the Lima route.
Terminals
The airport operates a single small terminal building handling both domestic and limited international passengers.
Getting to & from
Ground transport to central Tumbes is available via taxis and informal shared vehicles, with the airport located a few kilometers from the city center.
