Relax.
They do speak English at the airport,
Yes, it is quite an exciting landing with all the mountians and usually clouds, but the pilots are VERY GOOD and get you in without incident.
The paper your friend is refering to is the customs paper that they give you on the plane, you only need to declare goods that you are importing, possibly for resale, or gifts, or whatever, they do not care about your personal clothes and articles. This is done for the purposes of possible duty that may be necessary.
You will need to go thru customs where they check your Passport when the let you in to the country, Just follow the signs and the other passengers.
Then you get your bags, and there are plenty of people willing to carry them for you( for tips)
$1.00 = about 18.80 limperas on our last trip early November, but it does fluctuate some.
After you get off the plane, unless you have someone picking you up, You will probably go outside and take a taxi. If you are conecting to another flight you will not even leave the airport.
Good luck, and enjoy the experience. Hope this helps some.

Hi everyone! I absolutely love this group and reading what everyone
writes. It is SO interesting and I am learning SO much so far!
Anyways, I have a question about arriving at the Toncontin Airport.
I've already heard the landing stories lol but it seems like it will
be VERY exciting and nerve-wracking all at the same time when
landing! But I have some concerns about where to go after stepping
off the plane? It is probably just like a regular airport, but I
have never really flew alone before.
Could anyone give me advice on where to go? I also heard from a
friend that when you arrive they give you a paper and you have to
list the items that are in your suitcase and the value of them. If
this is still true, since it was a while ago when my friend went
there,
couldn't I just write out my list here in the states and then
transfer it to the paper they give me to save time? I'm just
thinking of the easiest and smoothest way to get through the airport
situation because I know that they probably don't speak much English
there...or do they?...and I know that it can probably get QUITE
complicated!
Thanks! Sorry this is SO long!
