Gustavo Vargas Airport (TME/SKTM) is the regional airfield serving Tame, a municipality in Arauca Department in eastern Colombia’s Llanos Orientales. It handles mostly domestic regional flights, linking the area with Bogotá and other Colombian cities. The airport sits just outside the urban area, making it a quick transfer for travelers.

💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know to carry small bills in Colombian pesos: card acceptance is limited at the airport and in many Tame businesses, and taxis may not have change for large notes.

Taxis and mototaxis are the easiest way between Tame and the airport; confirm the fare before departing. If you are arriving on a late flight, pre-arrange pickup because transport can be scarce after dark. Allow extra time in the rainy season, when local roads may be slower or temporarily affected.
