Remote airstrip serving Bolivia's Chiquitos region.

Location
Chiquitos, Bolivia
Tres Cruces Airport (ICAO: SLTC) is a small general aviation airstrip located in the Chiquitos province of the Santa Cruz Department in eastern Bolivia. It serves the remote lowland communities of the region, providing limited air access to an area otherwise dependent on road transport. The airport has no scheduled commercial airline service and primarily supports light aircraft, charter flights, and occasional humanitarian or missionary operations. Its facilities are minimal, reflecting the rural character of the surrounding area. Chiquitos is internationally recognized for its UNESCO World Heritage Jesuit Missions, which attract cultural tourism to the region, though most visitors access the area via the nearby town of San José de Chiquitos rather than through Tres Cruces.
