Gateway to Bolivia's eastern frontier where jungle meets savanna

Sunsas Airport is a small regional airstrip serving the town of San Ignacio de Velasco and the surrounding Sunsas area in the Santa Cruz department of eastern Bolivia. It plays a quiet but important role in connecting remote communities of the Chiquitania region to larger Bolivian cities. The airport serves light aircraft and occasional charter flights, reflecting the rural character of this largely undeveloped frontier zone.

Dining

Food options at the airport itself are extremely limited or absent, so travellers should plan accordingly. The nearby town of San Ignacio de Velasco offers local restaurants serving traditional Bolivian and Chiquitano dishes including locro and grilled meats. Stock up on provisions before arriving if travelling onward into rural areas.

Traveller Tips
  • Confirm your flight directly with the operator as schedules can change with little notice.
  • Carry local Bolivian bolivianos in cash, as ATM access in the area is very limited.
  • Bring insect repellent, especially during the wet season when mosquitoes are prevalent.
  • Allow extra travel time as road conditions between the airport and town can deteriorate during rains.
