Mysterious runway found in Brazilian jungle sparks intrigue
Internet users browse the Google Maps app with curiosity, searching for something unexpected. A discovery like that recently occurred in the middle of the Brazilian jungle.
In the heart of the Brazilian jungle, near the Aripuana River, a Reddit user found a mysterious runway that captured the attention of both them and other internet users. It is located about 3,700 kilometres from the international airport in Santiago.
An interesting discovery on Google Maps
The image of this isolated airport, found on Google Maps, sparked a wave of speculation about the runway's purpose. Some suggest pilots of small, private planes could use it, while others suspect it might serve less legal purposes, such as smuggling. There are even claims that it might belong to a "secret military base."
According to the website unilad.com, this runway is about 1.3 kilometres long, considerably shorter than standard runways, which generally range from 2.5 to 4 kilometres in length. Such runways may be intended only for small planes.
What could the runway in the middle of the jungle be used for?
According to experts, small planes landing there might deliver goods to remote villages, such as Arauazinho and Nova Olinda. They also mention that there are even shorter runways globally, measuring only about 0.3 kilometres. These are often constructed by wealthy pilots who own their aircraft and large plots of land.
The discovery of this runway in the middle of the jungle through Google Maps demonstrates that today's technology can uncover previously unknown places with many secrets.
