Caleta Gonzalo Airport (es|Aeropuerto de Caleta Gonzalo,) is an airstrip by a cove off the Reñihué Fjord in the Los Lagos Region of Chile. The airstrip is north of Chaitén, the largest town in the area.
The cove is at the mouth of a narrow canyon running south toward the Chaitén Volcano. South approach and departures are hazardous due to close proximity of the canyon wall. North approach and departures are over open water.
The Chaiten VOR-DME (Ident: TEN) is 17.2nmi southwest of the airport.[2]
