commercialization of regional products to the rest of the country, thus improving
the economic outlook of the region and its capital, Pucallpa. However, the
heavy rainfalls of the Amazon Rainforest remain a problem as they erode the
highway and can even cut it by causing flash floods. Pucallpa is served by air
through the Captain Rolden International Airport and by river through its port Pucallpillo near the center of the
city. During the high water season, the floating ports of La Hoyada and Puerto Italia are used for riverine communications. Pucallpa is
connected by road to Lima via the cities Huánuco and Cerro de Pasco
