## Description

Set on the edge of the Amazon lowlands in Madre de Dios, Padre Aldamiz International Airport (PEM) is the air gateway for Puerto Maldonado and the Tambopata and Manu rainforest reserves. Traffic is overwhelmingly passenger and tourism-driven, with LATAM and Sky Airline linking the town to Lima and Cusco. The airport has no dedicated freighter handling; goods move as belly cargo on scheduled flights or overland along the Interoceanic Highway. For genuine air-cargo capacity, customs clearance and international forwarding, shippers consolidate at Lima (LIM) and the port of Callao. For many isolated jungle settlements, PEM is simply the fastest way out.
