## Description

In the Orinoco Delta, water often beats wings: cargo into Tucupita travels by river barge and road far more than by air. The town's San Rafael Airport (TUV) runs a single runway (07/25) and concentrates on domestic passenger links and tourism feeding the surrounding delta national park. It operates no freight terminal and carries no scheduled air cargo. Shipments for the region are typically routed overland to the industrial hub at Puerto Ordaz (PZO) or to Maturín (MUN), and onward through Caracas-Maiquetía (CCS). For freight forwarders, TUV is a passenger destination rather than a cargo origin.
