Online Reviews Summary

Traveler reviews for El Peru Airport (SLEP), officially known as Inca Manco Cápac International Airport (JUL) in Juliaca, Peru (not Yacuma, Bolivia), reveal a generally mixed but often satisfactory experience, especially for a regional airport. Travelers appreciate its efficiency and cleanliness, though its small size and limited amenities are frequently noted. The airport serves as a crucial gateway to the Puno region and Lake Titicaca.

What Travelers Love

  • Cleanliness: The airport is often described as clean and well-maintained, creating a welcoming atmosphere.

  • Transportation Options: Various reliable private transfer services are available, offering comfortable and safe journeys to Puno, with some even providing oxygen for altitude sickness.
Common Complaints
  • Limited Facilities: The airport has a tiny terminal with a modest selection of shops, a cafe, and a small restaurant. There are no 24-hour food options.
  • 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.
  • Below Average Rating for Services: Overall, the airport's services and terminal access receive moderately valued or even unpopular ratings compared to other airports.

Juliaca Airport provides a functional and generally pleasant experience for travelers, particularly those connecting to the Lake Titicaca region. While its small size means fewer amenities and night-time closures, its efficiency, cleanliness, and available VIP lounge are definite advantages. Travelers are advised to plan for daytime flights and pre-book transfers for optimal convenience.
