Água Fria Airport serves Pacaraima, a small border town in Roraima state at the northern tip of Brazil, directly on the frontier with Venezuela. The airport supports limited regional connectivity in one of Brazil's most remote and ecologically significant zones, near the Gran Sabana and the Tepui highlands. It plays a practical role for humanitarian, government, and occasional civilian traffic in this sparsely populated frontier region.
- Main Terminal — A small, single-building terminal handling basic passenger and cargo operations for regional and border-area flights.
- Taxis and informal transport vehicles available near the terminal
- Motorcycle taxis (mototaxis) common for short distances in Pacaraima
- Private vehicle hire through local operators

Dining options at the airport itself are extremely limited or nonexistent, so travellers should plan accordingly. The town of Pacaraima has small local restaurants and roadside stalls offering typical Brazilian fare such as rice, beans, grilled meats, and regional Roraima dishes. Boa Vista, approximately 220 km south, offers a far wider range of dining and provisioning options.
- Carry sufficient cash in Brazilian reais, as ATM access and card payment options in Pacaraima are very limited.
- Check border crossing requirements carefully if travelling between Brazil and Venezuela, as documentation rules can change frequently.
- Be prepared for tropical heat and humidity; carry water and sun protection at all times.
- Flight schedules in this region are irregular — always confirm your flight status directly with the operator well in advance.
