Remote Amazon gateway serving the Sawré Muybu indigenous territory.

Location
Jacareacanga, Brazil
Jacareacanga Airport (IATA: JCR, ICAO: SBEK) is a small regional airport located in the municipality of Jacareacanga in the state of Pará, Brazil. It serves as a vital access point to this remote Amazonian region, which is otherwise difficult to reach by land due to the dense rainforest and lack of paved roads. The airport is operated by the Brazilian Air Force infrastructure network and supports both civilian and occasional government flights. It plays a key role in connecting local communities, including indigenous populations, with larger urban centers such as Santarém and Itaituba.
Terminals
The airport has a basic, single small terminal building suited to low passenger volumes typical of remote Amazonian airports.
Getting to & from
Ground transport options are extremely limited, with travel into the small town of Jacareacanga primarily by unpaved local roads or river access.
Airlines here
Regional carriers serving Amazonian routes, such as those operating under Brazil's essential air services program (PSAE), provide limited scheduled service to the airport.

Gateway to the remote Amazon heart of western Pará state

Jacareacanga Airport is a small regional airfield serving the remote municipality of Jacareacanga in the western portion of Pará state, deep within the Brazilian Amazon. The airport plays a vital role in connecting this isolated community to the broader air network, as road access to the region is extremely limited or seasonal. It primarily handles light aircraft and regional turboprop services that serve indigenous communities, local residents, and occasional adventure travellers.

Terminals
  • Passenger Terminal — A single modest terminal building handling all arrivals, departures, and basic passenger processing for the airfield.
Ground Transport
  • Local taxis and informal car hire near the terminal
  • Motorcycle taxis (mototaxis) common for short trips into town
  • Private vehicle pickup arrangements with local lodges or contacts
Nearby Hotels
  • Local guesthouses in Jacareacanga town centre
  • Community-run riverside pousadas
Dining

Dining options inside the airport are extremely limited or nonexistent, so travellers should plan accordingly. The town of Jacareacanga offers small local restaurants and lanchonetes serving traditional Amazonian and Brazilian staples such as fish, rice, and beans. Stocking up on supplies before arriving is strongly recommended for those continuing to more remote destinations.

Traveller Tips
  • Confirm flight schedules well in advance as services are infrequent and subject to weather cancellations.
  • Carry sufficient local currency (Brazilian reais) as ATMs and card payment facilities are scarce in Jacareacanga.
  • Pack insect repellent and appropriate clothing for the humid Amazonian climate year-round.
  • Check entry requirements if travelling near indigenous reserve boundaries, as FUNAI permits may be required.
