Shiringayoc Airport (SYC/SPSY) is a small airstrip serving the remote community of Shiringayoc in Peru’s Madre de Dios region, within the Amazon basin. It primarily supports charter, air-taxi, and emergency flights rather than scheduled commercial service. The airport provides essential access to nearby rainforest communities, lodges, and conservation or mining areas.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know to book morning flights when possible—afternoon heat and thunderstorms often cause delays—and to keep baggage light because small aircraft are strictly weight-limited.
🚖 Getting There
There is no regular public transport at the airport; arrange a pickup in advance through your lodge, guide, or local operator. Road access from Puerto Maldonado or nearby towns can be rough and weather-dependent, so allow extra time in the rainy season. Mototaxis or private 4x4 transfers are common for the final leg.
