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. It is connected by the Route X-915. There's also an old Carabinero's building nearby.

The runway is in a canyon off the main channel of Lake O'Higgins, near the international pass "Paso Dos Lagunas" in the border with Argentina. There is mountainous terrain in all quadrants and limited room to maneuver within the canyon.[2]
