## Description

At the confluence of the Orteguaza and Caquetá rivers, deep in Colombia's southern Amazon, the Capitán Ernesto Esguerra Cubides Air Base (TQS) anchors military aviation in Caquetá department. It is a Colombian Air Force installation focused on regional security and counter-narcotics rather than commercial freight. No scheduled cargo moves through TQS; forwarders serving the area route air cargo through Bogotá-El Dorado (BOG), Latin America's leading freight gateway. Surface links rely on the river network and the road to Florencia. For logistics professionals, the honest takeaway is that TQS is a defence asset, not a cargo option.
