Roraima - The Lost World

Featured Replies

Always been fascinated by this place. Checked it out in all the sims I've had and this is definitely the best, even though it has a few elevation issues. If you don't know of this place, see here -

and of course Wiki will tell you more. I set off initially from SV92, a little grass strip a ways south

All of the above will bring you in from the south, and there she is in the distance

Big thanks for posting this. I almost forgot those places were still there, and for sure will go there soon (in my sim).

The Roraima and the Tepuys is located in southeastern Venezuela (and shares territory with Guyana and Brazil to a lesser extent) and the nearest airports, as mentioned in the article, are Santa Elena de Uairen (SVSE), located in Venezuela (look for the second letter "V" in the ICAO designator) and Canaima Park, SVCN, which is a remote tourist place. There are flights, not sure if commercial, but charters for sure, from Puerto Ordaz SVPR (to the North of the Bolivar State, where the Roraima is) to Canaima. Santa Elena de Uairen is very close to the border of Venezuela with Brazil and serves as a connection for flights coming up north from Brazil. The current representation of SVSE in MSFS is not right, as the airport buildings are very typical of the environment that surrounds the airport. A great geographical POI is the Angel Falls, near Canaima, a very well known place and the world's highest waterfall (800+ meters) and excellent for the practice of parachuting and skydiving.
