Remote gateway serving Bolivia's Iténez province in the Amazon.

Location
Huacaraje, Bolivia
Huacaraje Airport (IATA: BVK, ICAO: SLHJ) is a small regional airport located in Huacaraje, in the Iténez province of the Beni Department in northeastern Bolivia. It serves as a vital air link for the isolated communities of the region, where road infrastructure is extremely limited or impassable during rainy seasons. The airport primarily handles light aircraft and small regional turboprop operations, connecting local residents to larger Bolivian cities. It plays an essential role in providing access to medical services, supplies, and economic activity for the surrounding area. Given its remote location near the Brazilian border, the airport is a critical piece of infrastructure for the Bolivian government's efforts to maintain connectivity with its more isolated Amazonian communities.
