Fazenda Recreio 3 Airport

The airport was a private airstrip, likely unregistered with national aviation authorities, serving the 'Fazenda Recreio 3' (Recreio 3 Ranch). The closure was not due to a major event like an accident or military conversion. The most probable reason is a change in the operational needs or ownership of the ranch. The owner may have ceased aviation activities, sold the aircraft, or found it no longer economically viable to maintain a private runway.

The site is currently inactive and non-operational for any aviation purposes. Satellite imagery shows the faint outline of the former dirt/grass runway, but it is significantly overgrown with vegetation and is blending back into the surrounding pasture and scrubland. The land has reverted to agricultural use as part of the ranch.

The airstrip had no major historical significance in a public or commercial context. Its sole purpose was to support the private agricultural and logistical operations of the Fazenda Recreio 3. When active, it would have been used for light aircraft for purposes such as personal transportation for the farm's owners/managers, aerial application (crop dusting/spraying), and the transport of small, essential supplies to a remote rural location.

There are no known public plans or prospects for reopening this airstrip. Its future is entirely at the discretion of the private landowner. Reopening would require the owner to invest in clearing, grading, and maintaining the runway. Given its private nature and remote location, it is highly unlikely to ever be developed into a public or commercial airport.
