Santa Ana del Yacuma Airport serves the small town of Santa Ana del Yacuma in the Beni Department of Bolivia, a region defined by vast tropical savannas and the Yacuma River basin. The airport functions as a vital lifeline for this isolated community, connecting it to larger Bolivian cities where road access is often seasonal and unreliable. It plays a key role in supporting ecotourism, particularly for travellers heading to the Pampas region famous for wildlife such as pink river dolphins, caimans, and anacondas.
- Main Terminal — A single small terminal building handling all arrivals and departures with basic passenger facilities.
- Motorcycle taxis (mototaxis) available outside the terminal
- Private vehicle transfers arranged through local lodges and tour operators
- Shared taxis or remises into Santa Ana del Yacuma town centre
- Residencial Santa Ana
- Albergue Ecológico El Porvenir
- Local guesthouses along the Yacuma River
The airport itself has minimal to no food service, so travellers should plan accordingly before arrival. The town of Santa Ana del Yacuma offers simple local restaurants serving traditional Bolivian Beni cuisine including grilled river fish, rice, and yuca. Eco-lodges in the Pampas area typically provide all meals as part of their tour packages.
- Book flights well in advance as services are infrequent and seat capacity is very limited on small aircraft.
- Carry sufficient bolivianos in cash as ATMs are scarce or nonexistent in this remote area.
- Pack insect repellent, sunscreen, and light breathable clothing — the Pampas heat and mosquitoes are intense.
- Coordinate your airport transfer directly with your lodge or tour operator before departing from La Paz or Trinidad.
