Laguna Redonda Airport ( ICAO: SCIO) is an airstrip 55 kilometres (34 mi) south-southwest of Candelario Mancilla, in the O'Higgins commune, Aisén del General Carlos Ibañez del Campo Region of Chile.
The runway is in a canyon off the main channel of Lake O'Higgins, very near the border with Argentina. There is mountainous terrain in all quadrants and limited room to maneuver within the canyon. [2]
