About San Matías Airport
San Matías Airport is a small regional airport serving the town of San Matías in the far east of Bolivia's Santa Cruz Department, near the border with Brazil. Its single grass runway lies about 1.5 kilometres north of the town centre and close to the international boundary, making it a modest but useful gateway for this remote border region.
The airport mainly supports domestic and regional traffic, with limited scheduled operations. Its compact terminal and unpaved runway reflect the airport's role as a local air link rather than a large commercial hub, connecting travelers to other parts of Santa Cruz Department and Bolivia.
San Matías sits along Route 10 and is a long overland journey from Santa Cruz de la Sierra, roughly 680 kilometres by road. The airport therefore provides a valuable air connection for residents, business travelers and visitors in this sparsely populated part of eastern Bolivia.
Facilities are simple, with a small terminal and limited passenger services. Travelers arriving at San Matías can reach the town quickly by taxi or private transfer and can continue toward the Brazil border area or other destinations in the Chiquitania region.
