The small terminal handles turboprop and narrow-body aircraft and is named after the Colombian politician Antonio Roldán Betancur.
💡 Local Tip
There are few food options inside the terminal, so eat before you arrive or bring snacks; the airport's small size means boarding is usually via stairs on the tarmac, and Urabá's heat and humidity make a light layer and umbrella useful.
🚖 Getting There
Taxis and mototaxis are readily available in Carepa and Apartadó; agree on the fare or use a trusted local driver before departure. If you are coming from Apartadó, allow 20–30 minutes by road, and more during heavy rain or banana harvest traffic. Ride-hailing apps are limited, so arranging a pickup in advance is wise.
