General

Moquegua is Peru's southernmost airfield with a permanent military presence. It houses the aviation school of the Peruvian army. The airfield is very open and provides great possibilities for the aviation enthusiast. Beware, plane spotting is neither understood nor appreciated in Peru.

Layout

A single 06/24 runway is what the airport has to offer; the facilities can be found half way down the runway on the south side.

Getting There

If you happen to be in southern Peru, Moquegua airport is located just north of the town with the same name.

Around the Airport

1Apron - east side

Head to the airport from Moquegua, follow Av. 25 de Noviembre. This goes up hill with some interesting curves and passes the airport on the south east side. This is also where the gate of the facility can be found, the school itself is located in the village of Moquegua by the way, so do not be fooled when asking for the school! Do not be disappointed by the wall between you and the apron, as it has windows and is perfect for playing hide and seek with the guards. It will only take you a few minutes to read off the aircraft parked on the apron.

2Runway 06/24 south side

If you have more time, and want to witness some flying activities, want to make a picture or whatever, spot 2 comes handy. From spot 1, just follow the road to the east. No wall is found here, and you can just pick a spot along the runway, depending on your wishes.

3Runway 06/24 north side

In case you arrive in the late afternoon and want to make some pictures, spot 3 is your place. Walk around the 24 threshold on the dirt road and post yourself somewhere a long the runway on the north side.
