Guapiles Airport

GPL is Guapiles Airport, located near the town of Guápiles in the Pococí canton of Costa Rica's Limón province, in the country's Caribbean lowlands. This agriculturally rich region is known for banana and pineapple plantations, and the airport has historically supported small-scale regional and agricultural aviation needs rather than significant commercial passenger traffic. Guápiles sits along the route connecting San José to the Caribbean coast, and GPL offers a general aviation alternative to the longer overland journey through mountainous terrain. The airport's traffic is modest, consistent with many smaller Costa Rican airfields that primarily serve local flying, agricultural spraying operations, or occasional charter use rather than scheduled airline service.
