## Description

In Atalaya, rivers do the heavy lifting that roads cannot: boats along the Ucayali, Tambo and Urubamba carry most freight, while Teniente General Gerardo Pérez Pinedo Airport (AYX) handles the people and the urgent parcels. This small jungle airfield is geared to passenger and light-aircraft traffic, with no dedicated cargo terminal. Time-critical goods move as belly loads on small planes; everything else travels by water. For customs-cleared air freight and onward international shipping, Lima (LIM) is the reference, roughly a thousand kilometres away. In a region with few roads, AYX remains one of Atalaya's few fast links to the outside.
