Comandante FAP Germán Arias Graziani Airport (ATA/SPHZ) is a high-altitude Andean airport near Anta, Ancash, serving Huaraz and the Cordillera Blanca region. Situated at roughly 2,800 m, it is the main air gateway for travelers heading to Huascarán National Park and popular trekking routes. Scheduled service is limited and weather-dependent, with flights typically linking to Lima.
💡 Local Tip
The terminal has limited food and ATM services, so eat before arrival and carry small cash for the taxi or colectivo to Huaraz; morning flights also tend to have better weather before afternoon cloud build-up.
🚖 Getting There
Taxis and pre-arranged transfers are the most reliable way to reach Huaraz; colectivos along the Callejón de Huaylas can drop you near the airport road but are less convenient with luggage. Allow extra time for the drive and confirm your pickup in advance, as the terminal is small and ride-hailing is not dependable. If you are heading to Carhuaz or Yungay, the airport is roughly between Huaraz and those towns along the main highway.
