Having been handed a nine-game international ban and four-month suspension from all football, Suarez travelled back to Uruguay and left the World Cup squad.
Supporters turned out in force to greet the Liverpool striker in Uruguay, with some wearing masks in tribute to their star man.
Uruguayan President Jose Mujica was at the international airport at one point, but returned home because Suarez's flight was delayed.
Because of the delay, the crowd of about 1,000 fans were moved from the airport terminal to an adjacent air force base to await Suarez's arrival.
Suarez was earlier seen with the rest of the team in Rio as they were pictured arriving at their hotel.
Uruguay face Colombia in an all South American last 16 clash, but they will have to make do without Suarez for that game and the rest of the tournament.
