Garimpo do Juruena Scenery.

This scenery shows the Garimpo do Juruena Airstrip (Arquimedes Garimpo) in Mato Grosso State, Brazil in the midle of the jungle at the Amazon Tropical Forest.

Coordinates:

Latitude: S09º 07.72'
Longitude: W058º 32´64'

Like this airstrip was a unofficial airport, I create the "ICAO" VPGJ, just to help a navegation.

This scenery is free and it can be avaiable for anyone or any site, although it can NOT sell. Enjoy your jungle fly.
