El Pauji Airstrip is a small, unpaved rural airstrip serving the isolated community of El Paují in southeastern Venezuela, near the Brazilian border within the Gran Sabana region. It functions primarily as a lifeline for local residents, ecotourists, and light aircraft operators accessing one of South America's most pristine tepui landscapes. The strip sees minimal scheduled traffic and is largely dependent on charter and general aviation flights.
