Hacienda La Zarca Airport

The closure was almost certainly for economic and operational reasons related to the private estate it served. As a private aerodrome, its existence was tied to the needs of the Hacienda La Zarca. The most probable reasons for its closure include: a change in ownership of the hacienda, a decrease in the need for private air travel, or the operational costs of maintaining the runway and aircraft no longer being justifiable. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a specific accident, environmental concerns, or military conversion.

The site is currently an abandoned and non-operational airstrip. Satellite imagery clearly shows the remnant of the dirt runway, but it is unmaintained, with vegetation growing over it and no visible markings. There are no hangars, terminal buildings, or any other aviation infrastructure on the site. The surrounding land continues to be used for agriculture and ranching, but the airstrip itself is unused and has not been repurposed.

Hacienda La Zarca Airport was a private airstrip (aeródromo) built to serve the large and historically significant cattle and agricultural ranch, Hacienda La Zarca. Its primary role was to facilitate general aviation, providing rapid transportation for the hacienda's owners, managers, and guests to and from the remote rural location. The airstrip, featuring a single unpaved/dirt runway approximately 1,500 meters (4,921 feet) in length, was capable of handling light to medium-sized private aircraft. It was a vital piece of infrastructure for the business operations of the hacienda, significantly reducing travel time to major business centers.

There are no known official plans or prospects for reopening Hacienda La Zarca Airport. Reopening would require a renewed need for a private airstrip by the current owners of the hacienda and a significant private investment to clear, grade, and certify the runway for use. Given its remote location and private nature, any prospect of reopening is entirely dependent on the private owner's initiative, for which there is no public information or indication.
