💡 Local Tip
If you're flying in, call ahead to confirm runway conditions and fuel availability, especially during the rainy season—small airfields in this low-lying region can be affected by heavy weather.
🚖 Getting There
Pilar is a compact city, so the airfield is usually reached by taxi or private car in a short drive from the center. If you are arriving on a charter, ask the operator to arrange a pickup, since on-demand transport at the airport can be unreliable. Renting a car in Pilar is useful for exploring Ñeembucú, but confirm availability before arrival.
