Location
San Rafael, Bolivia
San Rafael Airport is a small regional airstrip located in Bolivia, serving the rural community of San Rafael in the Santa Cruz department. It operates under the ICAO designator SLSF and has no assigned IATA code, reflecting its status as a minor, non-commercial facility. The airport primarily supports light general aviation, charter flights, and occasional humanitarian or missionary operations typical of remote Bolivian lowland airstrips.
