Runway 14/32 was asphalted in 2010. Before, because of the grass runways, no flights could land or takeoff on a rainy day, and delays were usual in the rainy season (December - April).

Rurrenbaque is at the base of Bolivia's Cordillera Real mountains, and there is mountainous terrain just south of the airport.

The Rurrenabaque non-directional beacon (Ident: RBQ) is located on the field.[3]

gollark: Not encryption, just to be annoying.
gollark: In any case it could be fun to make potatOS use random byte sequences as filenames.
gollark: Hmm, true.
