Barra del Colorado Airport

Barra del Colorado Airport (IATA: BCL, ICAO: MRBC) is a small general aviation airstrip serving the remote community of Barra del Colorado in the Pococi canton of Limón Province, Costa Rica. The airport provides one of the only practical access points to this isolated region, situated near the mouth of the Colorado River along the Caribbean coast. The airport primarily handles light charter and scheduled prop aircraft, connecting the area to San José and other domestic destinations. It serves anglers, ecotourists, and local residents visiting the Barra del Colorado Wildlife Refuge, one of Costa Rica's most biodiverse protected areas. Given the lack of road infrastructure connecting Barra del Colorado to the rest of the country, the airport plays a critical role in the region's economy and accessibility. Boat travel along rivers is the only land-based alternative for reaching the community.
