💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors confirm flight status by phone or with the airline before leaving for the airport, since Amazon weather and operational changes can cause delays; carrying small cash also helps for taxis and moto-taxis.

The airport is close to town, so taxis and moto-taxis are the most practical way to reach hotels, the riverfront, or the bus terminal.
