Bolivia's southern border gateway near Argentina.

Location

Villazón, Bolivia

Villazon Airport (ICAO: SLVZ) is a small regional airport serving the town of Villazón in the Potosí Department of southern Bolivia. The airport is located near the Bolivian-Argentine border, adjacent to the Argentine city of La Quiaca, making it a key point along the historic border crossing route. The facility handles limited domestic traffic and serves a strategically important border region. Due to its small size and remote location, scheduled commercial services are infrequent and the airport primarily supports general aviation and occasional regional flights. Villazón itself is a significant land border crossing point between Bolivia and Argentina, and the airport complements this role by providing an air transport option for the region, though most travelers use road or rail connections across the border.

Terminals

The airport has a single small terminal building typical of Bolivia's minor regional airports, with minimal passenger facilities.

Getting to & from

Ground transport into Villazón town center is available via taxi and local vehicles, with the airport situated close to the urban area.
