me desempeño como despachador aereo en este aeropuerto y me gustaria relacionarme con mas gente que tambien trabaje en este aeropuerto.

Thanks for the correction, Thorsten -- I can see the runway clearly at those coordinates, and have edited the airport.

The real coordinates for Caruru Airport are 1.0136 latitude -71.2961 longitude / 1 00 49 N 71 47 16 W. Those are the official dates from Aerocivil of Colombia. Anyway with those coordinates you easily find the runway even in Google Earth.

With best regards,

Merged -- thanks, Paul.

You should probably merge them.

Leaving town on a rugged dirt road you are surprised by a nice paved road leading you to a vacant 'control tower'. Adjoining the tower is a tie down area, and when I was there you needed to bring ropes to secure your plane. The paved runway is about 5000 feet long and in very good condition. There were a few large rocks on the runway, so if you visit, be sure to walk the runway and clear it. I will visit the airport again early in 2009 and I will bring back a current status report along with photos.

I want to go and see this airport and then go to Ricaurte!! I heard Girardot is a beautiful place and very hot weather!!!!

This is one of the most beautiful airports of the WORLD.... Its design and structure makes it a land mark for this beautiful city of Colombia.
