Small regional airstrip serving Venezuela's gold-mining district.

Location
El Callao, Venezuela
El Callao Airport is a small general aviation and regional airstrip located in El Callao, Bolívar State, southeastern Venezuela. It serves a town historically known for gold mining and serves as a basic air access point for a remote area with limited road infrastructure. The airport operates under the ICAO designator SVLL and has no assigned IATA code, reflecting its status as a minor domestic facility rather than a commercial hub.
