UIO airport is a very interesting and it takes a while to know the approaching procedures specially using VOR and ILS. Give it a try! A beautiful city in one of the best countries I ever visit

Comment by an Anonymous Flier on Rio Amazonas Airport, Ecuador:

I was air america pilot here I 1980s. Best to be well trained before arrival. Mountains 3 sides. Severe drop off cliffs on both ends. There is no go around unless you are in a fighter. Approach straight in land to west take off to east. Always low ceiling and fog mist. Surrounded by river. We could get loaded c130 in here. Barely. Had a leased dehavilland that was better and safer. Oh yes there is a volcano off the east end about 7 miles outnon otherwise flat terrain. This is a real got ya if you are not paying attention. Also we are missing a c130 and crew out there somewhere. If you find wreckage report it.

There is scheduled airline service as i saw firsthand, but only 1 flight per day.

Emetebe Avionetas

info from tripwolf as Emetebe's website is up and down:

Emetebe Avionetas (offices in Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, Puerto Ayora and Puerto Villamil are given in the corresponding sections below; in Guayaquil T04-229 2492) offer inter-island flights in two light twin-engine aircraft. Two daily flights operate between Puerto Baquerizo Moreno (San Cristóbal), Baltra and Puerto Villamil (Isabela), most days except Sunday, but this varies with passenger demand. All fares US$158 one way, including taxes.
