The airstrip at Bameno on the Río Cononaco lies in the Ecuadorian Amazon close to Yasuní National Park and serves a Waorani community otherwise reachable only by river. Small charter and mission aircraft bring people, mail, medicines and supplies; there is no terminal, no cargo handling, no customs post and no commercial airport code. It cannot be used as a loading point for planned air freight: the nearest usable airports are Coca/Francisco de Orellana (OCC) and Shell Mera (PTZ), while Quito (UIO) is the country's cargo and customs gateway.
