Vacaria Airport (IATA: VCC) is a small public airfield serving Vacaria, a municipality in the Serra Gaúcha region of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. It primarily supports general aviation, agricultural flights, and recreational flying rather than scheduled commercial service. Situated on the Campos de Cima da Serra plateau, it provides convenient access to one of Brazil's largest apple-producing regions.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors time flights for the morning to avoid the plateau's afternoon gusts, and during apple harvest (roughly February to May) they book ground transport early because local demand spikes.
🚖 Getting There
The airport is close to Vacaria's urban area, so taxis and ride-hailing apps are the most practical options; arrange your ride in advance, as vehicles may not wait at the airfield. If you plan to drive, rent a car in the city center rather than expecting an on-site rental desk. Road access is via the BR-116/BR-285 corridor, and travel times are short except during peak harvest season.
