Gateway to Venezuela's pristine Los Roques archipelago.

Location
Gran Roque Island, Venezuela
Los Roques Airport (IATA: LRV, ICAO: SVRS) serves Gran Roque Island, the main inhabited island of the Los Roques Archipelago, a federally protected national park located approximately 166 kilometers north of Caracas in the Caribbean Sea. The airport is a small general aviation and charter facility catering primarily to tourists visiting the archipelago's coral reefs, white-sand beaches, and protected marine environment. It handles predominantly light aircraft and small turboprop flights rather than commercial jet service. Given the remote island setting, the airport is the sole practical means of access to Gran Roque, as boat travel from the mainland is not a standard tourist option. Flight operations are dominated by small Venezuelan charter and regional carriers connecting Los Roques with Caracas and other domestic points.
Terminals
The airport features a single small terminal building suited to the low passenger volumes typical of a remote island tourist destination.
Getting to & from
Ground transport on Gran Roque is extremely limited, as the island is small and walkable, with no significant road network beyond the village.
Airlines here
Service is provided primarily by small Venezuelan regional and charter operators, including Aerotuy and similar light-aircraft carriers, connecting Los Roques mainly to Caracas.

Its rustic, open-air character reflects the laid-back, unspoiled nature of the surrounding island community.

Visitors are advised to carry cash as card payment infrastructure on the island is limited.

Traveller Tips

  • Flights to Los Roques are almost exclusively operated by small charter companies — book in advance, especially during peak tourist season.
  • Luggage weight limits on small aircraft are strict; pack light and check allowances with your charter operator.
  • Confirm your return flight the day before departure as schedules can shift due to weather or aircraft availability.
