Cap FAP David Abenzur Rengifo International Airport
Cap FAP David Abensur Rengifo International Airport, better known by its code PCL, opens onto the lowland rainforest surrounding Pucallpa, the largest city in Peru's Ucayali region and a major timber and river-trade center on the Ucayali River. The airport commemorates a Peruvian Air Force officer, and today it functions as one of the busiest gateways into the country's central Amazon basin, since no road network reliably connects this region to the coast during much of the year. Domestic carriers including LATAM Peru and smaller regional operators link PCL with Lima, usually in flights lasting just over an hour, making air travel far faster than the multi-day river or overland journeys locals once relied upon. Beyond passenger traffic, the airport supports cargo movement for jungle communities, ferrying goods, mail, and medical supplies into areas where rivers remain the only other viable transport corridor. Pucallpa's warm, humid climate persists nearly year-round.
