Santa Cruz de la Sierra Airport Transportation

Your driver waits in the arrivals hall holding a sign with your name. Check your confirmation in case it names a specific meeting point just outside the exit.

Viru Viru is about 17 km (11 miles) north of central Santa Cruz de la Sierra. The drive usually takes 30 to 50 minutes, depending on traffic and where in the city you are staying.

No. Viru Viru replaced El Trompillo, which is closer to downtown, as the city's main airport in 1983. International flights and most domestic flights use Viru Viru (VVI), and this page books rides from VVI.

Yes. We drive you door to door to hotels and apartments around Plaza 24 de Septiembre, in Equipetrol and elsewhere in the city. Give us the hotel name or full address when you book.

Yes. Give us the condominium name, the lot or house number and any gate instructions when you book, so your driver is let in without delay.

Samaipata is a hill town west of Santa Cruz, the base for the El Fuerte archaeological site and Amboró National Park. Going on to Samaipata? Enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.

Boliviana de Aviación (BoA) is the main airline, with domestic and international routes. Air Europa, Avianca, Copa Airlines, LATAM Airlines, GOL, Aerolíneas Argentinas and Paranair fly to Madrid, Bogotá, Panama City, Lima, Santiago, São Paulo, Buenos Aires and Asunción, and EcoJet and TAMep fly domestic routes.

It depends on your nationality. Bolivia removed the tourist visa requirement for US citizens and several other countries under Supreme Decree 5497 of December 2025, but citizens of some countries still need a visa. Check with a Bolivian consulate before you travel.

No. Santa Cruz sits at low altitude in the tropical lowlands, so heat and humidity, not altitude, are the main adjustment on arrival.

There is no need. Your ride is already booked before you land, and your driver waits in the arrivals hall with a sign showing your name.

We track the arrival of the flight on your reservation, so your driver adjusts to a delay. If your flight number, date or airline changes, or your flight is canceled, update it in Manage your booking so we can move your pickup.

Yes. Book a return from your hotel or home and give us your flight time, so your pickup leaves enough time for check-in, security and rush-hour traffic.
