Bacacheri Airport (IATA: BFH, ICAO: SBBI) is a public airport located in the Bacacheri neighborhood of Curitiba, the capital of Paraná state in southern Brazil. It is one of two airports serving the Curitiba metropolitan area, with Afonso Pena International Airport handling the bulk of commercial traffic. The airport primarily serves general aviation, private flights, air taxi operations, and some regional commercial services.

It has served an important role as a relief facility and as a hub for executive and charter aviation in the region.

City & Place Guide

Brazil's green capital blends urban innovation with natural beauty.

Curitiba is the capital of Paraná state in southern Brazil, known for its efficient urban planning, extensive parks, and cool climate compared to most Brazilian cities. Founded in 1693, it has grown into a metropolitan hub of roughly 1.9 million people with a strong European immigrant heritage reflected in its architecture and culture.

The city is celebrated as one of Latin America's most livable urban centers, pioneering a bus rapid transit system that became a global model. Its network of parks, pedestrian streets, and cultural centers make it highly walkable and visitor-friendly, offering a relaxed pace distinct from Rio de Janeiro or São Paulo.

  • •Ópera de Arame — stunning open-air opera house built of tubular steel amid a quarry park.
  • •Jardim Botânico — iconic French-style botanical garden with a grand glass greenhouse.
  • •Museu Oscar Niemeyer — eye-shaped contemporary art museum designed by the legendary architect.
  • •Parque Tanguá — scenic park with waterfalls, tunnels, and a panoramic lookout tower.
  • •Largo da Ordem — historic cobblestone street lined with colonial buildings and weekend craft fairs.
  • •Rua XV de Novembro — lively pedestrian boulevard perfect for shopping and people-watching.

Getting around: Curitiba's world-famous Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, with its distinctive tube stations, is the easiest and cheapest way to navigate the city. Taxis are widely available, and ride-hailing apps such as Uber and 99 operate reliably throughout the metro area. The city's flat terrain and dedicated bike lanes also make cycling a practical option in many neighborhoods.

Best time: April through June offers mild temperatures, lower humidity, and fewer crowds, making it the ideal time to visit Curitiba.

Local food: Try barreado (slow-cooked beef stew), pierogi-influenced dishes reflecting Polish heritage, chimarrão mate tea, and fresh pinhão pine nuts roasted at winter street stalls.
