Mucugê Airport (IATA: CHD) is a small general-aviation airfield serving Mucugê, a historic diamond-mining town in Bahia's Chapada Diamantina region. It handles light aircraft, air taxis, and private charters rather than scheduled airline service, providing access to Sempre Viva National Park and nearby waterfalls. Its simple facilities make it a convenient but weather-dependent gateway for travelers heading into the surrounding highlands.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know to schedule flights for the morning: Chapada Diamantina's afternoon clouds and rain can reduce visibility and cause delays, and the field has limited night operations.

Pre-arrange a taxi or private transfer from Mucugê town, as there is no regular public transport at the airfield. If you are renting a car, pick it up in town before your flight or have your pousada arrange delivery. Allow extra time in the rainy season, when secondary roads can slow the drive.
