Common Complaints

  • Airport Closure: The airport closes nightly after the last flight, typically around 7:00 PM, and reopens at 7:00 AM, making overnight stays impossible within the terminal.
  • Inconsistent WiFi outside Lounge: While the VIP lounge offers reliable WiFi, internet access outside this area can be limited or inconsistent.
  • Transfer Traffic: While transfers are generally smooth, heavy traffic can occasionally extend the estimated travel time between Juliaca Airport and Puno.

Juliaca Airport provides a functional and generally pleasant experience for travelers, particularly those connecting to the Lake Titicaca region.
