Remote airstrip serving the Bolivian Amazon lowlands.

Location
Moxos, Bolivia
Santiago Airport (ICAO: SLTG) is a small general aviation airstrip located near the town of Santiago de Moxos in the Beni Department of Bolivia. It serves the remote Llanos de Moxos region, a vast tropical savanna and wetland area in the Bolivian Amazon basin. The airport provides essential air access to a community that is largely isolated by poor road conditions, particularly during the rainy season when flooding renders land routes impassable. It primarily supports light aircraft operations serving local residents, missionaries, and occasional cargo. No commercial scheduled airline services are known to operate regularly from this facility. It functions mainly as a grass or unpaved airstrip typical of remote Amazonian settlements in Bolivia.
