Distance & flight time from PYH

Cacique Aramare Airport

PYH serves Puerto Ayacucho, the capital of Venezuela's Amazonas state, sitting near the Orinoco River close to the Colombian border. Cacique Aramare Airport, named after an indigenous chief, functions as the principal air gateway for this remote southern region, where road links to the rest of Venezuela are limited and often impassable in the rainy season. The airport mainly handles domestic flights connecting Puerto Ayacucho to Caracas and other cities, and it plays an important role in supplying isolated communities along the upper Orinoco. Its single runway and modest terminal reflect the low traffic volumes typical of Venezuela's interior airports, though it remains a vital lifeline for cargo, medical evacuation, and passenger travel in a region otherwise dependent on river transport.
