Villa Guadalupe Airport

The closure was almost certainly due to economic and logistical reasons. Aviation databases list the owner as 'Agricola El Rocio,' an agricultural company. The airstrip was a private utility for this business. Its closure likely resulted from the company ceasing operations in the area, changing its transportation methods to rely on ground transport, or determining that maintaining and using a private airstrip was no longer cost-effective.

The site is abandoned and no longer functions as an airport. The physical outline of the approximately 820-meter (2,690-foot) runway is still visible in satellite imagery. However, it is unmaintained, significantly overgrown with grass and vegetation, and shows evidence of being used as a simple dirt track for local ground vehicles. There is no aviation infrastructure, such as hangars or terminals, remaining on the site.

Villa Guadalupe Airport held no public or major historical significance. It was a private dirt/grass airstrip built and operated exclusively for the benefit of the agricultural company 'Agricola El Rocio'. Its purpose was to provide air access to a remote, mountainous area, facilitating the transport of personnel, equipment, and possibly high-value agricultural products like coffee. Operations would have been limited to small, rugged aircraft (e.g., Cessna, Piper, or similar STOL-capable planes) that could handle a short, unpaved runway at elevation (approx. 2,159 ft).

There are no known public or private plans to reopen Villa Guadalupe Airport. Any prospect of reopening would be entirely dependent on a private entity establishing a new agricultural, mining, or tourism operation in the immediate vicinity that requires private air access. Given the high cost of aircraft operation and maintenance, and the gradual improvement of road networks, a reopening is considered highly unlikely.
