BVL is the airport code for the airstrip at Baures, a small town in the far northeast of Bolivia, in the Beni department, in the great plains and wetlands of the Bolivian Amazon near the border with Brazil. It lies in the Llanos de Moxos, a vast landscape of savanna, forest, rivers and marsh that floods for half the year, and is reached only with difficulty, by small aircraft, by boat along winding rivers, or by rough tracks. Baures is remarkable for its history: the surrounding country is covered with the remains of extraordinary pre-Columbian earthworks, raised fields, causeways and canals built long ago by the Baure people, who created large, ordered towns in the heart of the Amazon. Today it is a quiet, remote frontier town. Baures is reached by small aircraft and by river and road across the Beni. The climate is hot and humid, with a wet season of heavy floods and a drier season.
