  "connection_tips": "Canaima Airport (CAJ) is a unique, destination-specific airfield that requires careful planning due to its isolation and the specialized nature of travel in Venezuela. The primary connection to the park is via direct flights from Maiquet\u00eda (Caracas) operated by Conviasa. These flights typically run on a limited schedule, often only on Thursdays and Sundays, which dictates the standard 3-night or 4-night tour packages common in the region. It is crucial to book your flights as part of a comprehensive tour package, as independent travel in Canaima is difficult and lodging should be confirmed before arrival. When departing from Caracas (CCS) for Canaima, you must arrive at the check-in counter at least two hours before departure.\n\nConviasa enforces strict closing times, typically one hour before take-off. Baggage is also strictly regulated; passengers are generally allowed 23kg for checked items and 5kg for carry-on luggage. Due to the small size of the terminal at CAJ, these limits are important for the weight and balance of the Embraer aircraft used on the route. Upon landing at CAJ, you will be required to pay a National Park entry fee (INPARQUES), which should be paid in cash, preferably in US dollars.\n\nEnsure you have small denominations as change can be scarce. Your 'connection' to Angel Falls involves a short jeep ride to the Canaima Lagoon, followed by a multi-hour journey up the Chur\u00fan River in a motorized canoe. Depending on the weather and the specific flight path, your arrival or departure may include a scenic overflight of Angel Falls itself\u2014keep your camera ready as you approach or leave the plateau. Note that there are no ATMs or banking facilities at the airport or in the village, so bringing sufficient cash for gratuities and personal expenses is mandatory.",

  "terminal_info": "Canaima Airport (CAJ), also identified by its ICAO code SVCN, is a specialized tourism hub located in the heart of Canaima National Park in Bolivar State, Venezuela. As the primary gateway to the world's highest waterfall, Angel Falls, the airport is an essential link for visitors exploring this UNESCO World Heritage site. Situated near the Carrao River and the indigenous village of Canaima, the airfield provides critical access to a region where there are no road connections to the rest of the country.\n\nThe terminal facilities are rustic and minimalist, reflecting the airport's role as a remote wilderness outpost rather than a commercial transport hub. There is a single small administrative building that handles passenger processing, but it lacks traditional amenities such as duty-free shops, extensive restaurants, or public Wi-Fi. Most visitors arriving at CAJ have their logistics pre-arranged with one of the local eco-lodges, whose representatives typically meet passengers directly on the tarmac to facilitate a seamless transfer of luggage to nearby accommodations.\n\nOperational infrastructure at CAJ is designed for medium-sized narrow-body aircraft and small charter planes. The airport is primarily served by Conviasa, the national carrier, which operates scheduled flights from Caracas. Because of the variable weather conditions in the Guyana Highlands, flights are strictly daylight-operated. Ground transportation within the park is non-existent; all onward travel to the base of Angel Falls is conducted via 'curiaras' (motorized indigenous canoes) and 4x4 vehicles provided by authorized tour operators.",
