Alonso Valderrama Airport

On Panama's Azuero Peninsula, often called the cradle of the country's folkloric traditions, Chitre's Alonso Valderrama Airport uses the identifier CTD to connect Herrera province with Panama City by short domestic hops. Visitors bound for the elaborate Carnival celebrations in nearby Las Tablas, or for the peninsula's cattle ranches and beaches along the Gulf of Panama, often pass through this modest single-runway facility. Its terminal is compact, reflecting the region's rural character rather than heavy tourist volume. Regional airlines operate limited daily flights, making the airport a lifeline for a peninsula otherwise reached mainly by highway.
