Furatena Airport (ICAO: SKFR) is an airport serving the emerald region of the western emerald belt and town of Quípama in the Boyacá Department of Colombia. The airport is four nautical miles west of Muzo Airport.
The town and airport are on the side of a steep mountain slope, 2,200 feet (670 m) above the Quebrada Sonadora in the Eastern Ranges of the Colombian Andes. The runway sits on a narrow shelf next to the town, with dropoffs on both ends and the west side. Mountainous terrain exists in all quadrants.
