San Javier Airport (IATA: SJV, ICAO: SLJV) is a small airstrip serving San Javier, a historic Jesuit mission town in Bolivia’s Santa Cruz Department. It sits in the Chiquitania lowlands and primarily supports light aircraft, charters, and regional access rather than large scheduled airline service. The airport is a convenient gateway for visitors exploring the Jesuit Missions of the Chiquitos, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors confirm airstrip conditions and charter availability by phone or WhatsApp before traveling, and carry enough cash for local transport and services because ATMs and card acceptance in San Javier are very limited.

Many travelers reach San Javier by road from Santa Cruz de la Sierra or Concepción, with travel times varying by weather and road conditions.
