Cajamarca Airport
Mayor General FAP Armando Revoredo Iglesias Airport is the main air gateway for Cajamarca, a highland city in northern Peru known for its mountain scenery, cool climate, and colonial character. Identified by IATA code CJA and ICAO code SPJR, it is classified as a medium airport and serves both residents and visitors heading to the Cajamarca region. Because the airport sits high in the Andes, arriving passengers often notice thinner air and stronger sun than at sea level, so it is worth pacing yourself, staying hydrated, and allowing a little extra time to adjust after landing.

The airport’s single lighted runway, 16/34, is 8,201 feet long and paved with asphalt, supporting regular operations in a mountainous setting where weather and visibility can matter more than travelers may expect. If you are departing, it is sensible to monitor your flight status closely and head to the airport with some buffer time, especially during periods of changing highland weather.
