## Description

Upala sits in the agricultural northern lowlands of Costa Rica, close to the Nicaraguan border and surrounded by sugarcane, bean and root-crop farms. Its airfield (UPL) handles only light domestic and charter traffic, without a cargo terminal or scheduled freighter service. Harvests leave the area by truck on overland roads rather than by air. Air cargo is consolidated at Juan Santamaría (SJO).
