Lorenzo Airport (IATA: MXQ) is a small coastal airstrip serving Cairu and the Tinharé Island area in Bahia, Brazil. Located near the car-free village of Morro de São Paulo, it mainly handles light propeller aircraft, air taxis, and charter flights. Its compact runway and island setting make it a convenient but weather-sensitive alternative to boat transfers from the mainland.
💡 Local Tip
Pack a soft-sided bag and keep it light: small aircraft have tight luggage limits, and soft bags are much easier to handle on the car-free streets and sand paths of Morro de São Paulo.
🚖 Getting There
To reach Lorenzo Airport, most travelers fly from Salvador (SSA) by air taxi or charter, or take a ferry/speedboat to Morro de São Paulo and continue by local transfer. From the airport, pre-arranged pousada transfers and local taxis are the usual options; because Morro de São Paulo is car-free, luggage may be moved by cart or tractor. Allow extra time in high season and confirm your pickup in advance.
