The country’s main airport is located near the city center and is surrounded by picturesque mountains, which makes landings difficult, but provides a good backdrop for photos. The traffic is quite extensive and varied and includes, in addition to Mexican, US and Central American airlines, flights of the Guatemalan carrier TAG Airlines with several Embraers and ATRs. There are a couple of good photo spots in La Aurora. One of them is a Best Western Plus Hotel Stofella, the upper floors of which offer an excellent view of the airfield. Another spot is a specially equipped photo spot (a rarity for Latin America) near the terminal – several holes have been made in the airport’s mesh fence for cameras.
