## Description

About 30 kilometres north of Valdivia, Pichoy (ZAL) serves the Los Ríos region in Chile's rainy south. Traffic is mostly tourism and business; LATAM and JetSmart link the field with Santiago. There is no cargo handling of its own – shipments travel as belly loads on passenger flights, while the region's forestry and farm exports move mainly by road and through the nearby Pacific ports. For planned air freight, Santiago (SCL) remains the relevant node. Anyone planning logistics for Valdivia therefore factors in combined road and air transport.
