Santa Clara de Guapiles Airport is a small general aviation airstrip serving the Guápiles area in Costa Rica's Limón province, situated in the humid Caribbean lowlands near the base of the Braulio Carrillo mountain range. It primarily supports light aircraft, charter flights, and local agricultural operations rather than scheduled commercial service. The airport plays a modest but practical role in connecting this banana-growing region to the wider Costa Rican air network.

Dining facilities at the airstrip itself are minimal or nonexistent; travellers should plan to eat in Guápiles town, which offers sodas (local Costa Rican diners), Chinese restaurants, and casual eateries serving rice-and-bean-based typical cuisine. The nearby town center has supermarkets and bakeries for quick provisions before or after a flight.
- Confirm flight arrangements directly with your charter operator, as schedules are highly informal at this airstrip.
- Carry cash in Costa Rican colones, as card payment options in the immediate area can be limited.
- Weather in the Caribbean lowlands is unpredictable; expect rain year-round and factor in possible flight delays.
- Guápiles town is approximately 5 kilometres away — arrange onward transport in advance as taxis may not wait at the strip.
