Vigía del Fuerte Airport (ICAO: SKVF) is an airstrip serving the river town of Vigía del Fuerte and the surrounding area, in the Antioquia Department of Colombia. The runway is on the eastern bank of the Atrato River, 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) upstream, south of the town. The airstrip used to be located inside the town, and made of grass. As the town expanded the airstrip was relocated, the old airstrip was refurbished to be a park, retaining its original shape.
