Amado Nervo National Airport (TPQ/MMEP) serves Tepic, the capital of Nayarit, Mexico, and is named after the poet and diplomat Amado Nervo, a Tepic native. Located southeast of central Tepic, it handles domestic flights in a compact, easy-to-navigate terminal. It is a convenient gateway to San Blas, the Nayarit Riviera, and the Sierra de San Juan.
💡 Local Tip
Because TPQ is small and flights are infrequent, arrive at least 90 minutes before departure and eat or buy snacks in Tepic beforehand—food and drink options after security are very limited.
🚖 Getting There
Authorized taxis and ride-hailing apps are the main ways to reach Tepic and nearby towns; confirm the fare or use the official taxi stand before leaving. There is no direct airport bus to downtown, though local buses run along the nearby highway. Rental car options are limited at the terminal, so arrange a vehicle in Tepic in advance if you need one.
