La Chorrera is an isolated former rubber-boom settlement and indigenous community deep in the Colombian Amazon (Amazonas department, near the Peru border region); the strip is served solely by Satena's state-subsidized network linking it to Leticia and other jungle settlements, with no fuel or scheduled infrastructure beyond that single lifeline route.

Aeronáutica Civil de Colombia (Aerocivil)
La Chorrera (IATA: LCR; no ICAO code is publicly assigned) is a non-concessioned regional airstrip in Amazonas Department, directly administered by Aerocivil (grass/dirt runway 04/22, 1,450m). As airport authority, Aerocivil's on-site aerodrome staff provide basic apron/airfield coordination for the sole scheduled operator; no dedicated third-party ground-handling company is documented for this remote Amazon community strip - unconfirmed beyond Aerocivil's standard role at its directly-run southern airfields.

SATENA (Servicio Aéreo a Territorios Nacionales)
self-handled, SATENA - sole scheduled carrier at La Chorrera, flying subsidized social/Amazon-network routes (de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter, 19 seats) linking La Chorrera primarily with Leticia and San Jose del Guaviare, with Araracuara also appearing on some route listings; with no dedicated third-party ramp handler documented at this gravel/grass strip, turnarounds are consistent with SATENA's standard self-handling model on Colombia's non-concessioned Amazon airstrips.
