Vanguardia Airport
Vanguardia Airport, known by its code VVC, is the primary air gateway to Villavicencio, capital of Colombia's Meta department and gateway to the eastern Llanos plains. The airport handles steady domestic traffic linking the cattle-ranching and agricultural heartland to Bogotá, roughly a short flight or a longer mountain drive away. VVC's relatively low elevation compared to the capital makes it a notable climatic transition point, from cool Andean air to the tropical lowlands. Airlines including Avianca and Satena operate routes from this hub, supporting both business travel tied to livestock and oil industries and tourism toward the Llanos' famous joropo music and rodeo culture.
