The airport is at the confluence of the Samaná Norte River into the Magdalena River, 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) north of the town. Runway length does not include a 90 metres (300 ft) paved overrun on the east end.
The Samaná Norte is a river in Antioquia Department, Colombia and a tributary of the Magdalena River.
The Magdalena River is the principal river of Colombia, flowing northward about 1,528 kilometres (949 mi) through the western half of the country. It takes its name from the biblical figure Mary Magdalene. It is navigable through much of its lower reaches, in spite of the shifting sand bars at the mouth of its delta, as far as Honda, at the downstream base of its rapids. It flows through the Magdalena River Valley.
