Gateway to Venezuela's spectacular Gran Sabana wilderness.

Location
Canaima, Venezuela
Canaima Airport serves the remote tourist village of Canaima in Bolívar State, Venezuela, situated within the vast Canaima National Park—a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The airport is the primary point of entry for visitors seeking access to the tepuis, lagoons, and Angel Falls, the world's highest uninterrupted waterfall. Given its location deep within a protected national park, the airport handles mostly small aircraft and charter flights, along with scheduled regional services connecting Canaima to Ciudad Bolívar and other Venezuelan cities. The facility is modest in scale, reflecting the low-density tourism and conservation priorities of the surrounding park. Access to the area is largely dependent on air travel, as there are no paved roads connecting Canaima village to the broader Venezuelan road network. The airport therefore plays a critical logistical role for both tourism operators and the local indigenous Pemon community.
Terminals
The airport has a single small terminal building suitable for low-volume regional and charter traffic.
Getting to & from
Ground transport is extremely limited; visitors travel primarily on foot or by boat within Canaima village, as no road connects the settlement to the outside world.
Airlines here
Rutaca Airlines and Conviasa have historically operated scheduled services to Canaima, alongside various charter operators.
