The Costanera boardwalk area is the best destination for dining and local atmosphere after arrival.

Traveller Tips
  • Confirm your flight status directly with the airline as schedules at this regional airport can be infrequent and subject to change.
  • Arrange ground transport in advance, as taxi availability outside peak hours may be limited.
  • Carry local Guaraní currency (PYG) as card payment acceptance at smaller vendors in and around the airport may be unreliable.
  • If crossing to Posadas, Argentina, the San Roque González de Santa Cruz Bridge is nearby — ensure you have the correct documentation for border crossing.
