Gateway to Bolivia's Jesuit Missions region in Santa Cruz.

Location
Concepción, Bolivia
Concepción Airport (IATA: CEP, ICAO: SLCP) is a small regional airport serving the town of Concepción in the Santa Cruz Department of Bolivia. It provides essential air connectivity to this remote area of the Bolivian lowlands, which is best known as part of the Jesuit Missions of Chiquitos, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The airport handles limited scheduled and charter traffic, primarily serving domestic routes within Bolivia. Its runway and facilities are modest, catering to light and small turboprop aircraft rather than large commercial jets. Concepción is a historically significant town, and the airport plays an important role in supporting tourism and local commerce in a region where road travel can be lengthy and difficult, particularly during the rainy season.
Terminals
The airport has a single small terminal building with basic passenger facilities suited to low-volume regional traffic.
Getting to & from
Ground transport between the airport and Concepción town center is primarily by taxi or private vehicle, as formal public transit options are limited.

Gateway to Bolivia's eastern lowlands amid tropical frontier landscapes

Concepción Airport serves the small missionary town of Concepción in the Beni and Santa Cruz border region of eastern Bolivia, a UNESCO-recognized Jesuit Missions area.

  • Mototaxis (motorcycle rickshaws) common for short local trips
  • Private vehicle transfers arranged through local guesthouses
Nearby Hotels

Dining

The airport itself has minimal food services, so travellers should eat in town before departing. Concepción's central plaza area offers simple Bolivian meals including grilled meats, rice dishes, and fresh tropical juices at local restaurants and family-run pensiones.

Traveller Tips
  • Confirm your flight the day before, as schedules on small regional routes can change with little notice.
  • Arrive early as the terminal is small and staff may close check-in well ahead of departure.
  • Carry bolivianos cash as card payment infrastructure in Concepción is very limited.
  • Visit the nearby Jesuit mission church of Concepción, a UNESCO heritage site, while in town.
