## Description

Coffee sacks and cacao from the northern highlands set the tone around Shumba Airport (JAE), the air access point for Jaén in Peru's Cajamarca region. The airport is firmly passenger-focused, connected mainly to Lima, with no dedicated cargo terminal on site. Agricultural exports leave the valley by truck toward the coast or ride as belly cargo on scheduled flights. For customs-cleared air freight and international links, Lima (LIM) is the operative hub. Opened to replace Jaén's older airfield, JAE noticeably shortened the journey into this remote corner of the country.
