Small regional airstrip serving Brazil's northern frontier town.

Location
Pacaraima, Brazil
Caju Airport (ICAO: SJYR) is a small general aviation airstrip located near Pacaraima, a municipality in the state of Roraima in northern Brazil. The town sits on the border with Venezuela, adjacent to Santa Elena de Uairén, making the airstrip strategically positioned in a remote frontier region. The airport serves light aircraft and general aviation operations, providing limited air access to a region that is otherwise accessible primarily by road via the BR-174 highway. It is not served by scheduled commercial airline services and handles minimal traffic volumes. Paracaraima itself is a significant border crossing point between Brazil and Venezuela, and the airstrip supports local logistics, government, and occasional humanitarian operations in this remote Amazonian border zone.
Getting to & from
The airport is accessible by road, with the BR-174 highway connecting Pacaraima to Boa Vista, the state capital of Roraima, approximately 220 kilometers to the south.

Dining

Travelers are advised to carry provisions, especially if continuing onward toward remote tepui destinations.

Traveller Tips
  • Carry Brazilian reais and Venezuelan bolivars if crossing the border, as ATM access is very limited in Pacaraima.
  • Check visa and border crossing requirements well in advance, as the Venezuela–Brazil frontier has complex entry rules.
  • The road to Boa Vista (BR-174) takes approximately 4–5 hours and passes through indigenous territories; fuel up before departing.
  • Weather in this highland border zone can change rapidly, so plan flight connections with buffer time.
