This image was taken from the Loma del Consuelo, directly to the north and above the Hacienda house site. The view is toward the northwest and clearly shows the verdant green boundary of the higher elevation ZUE with the lower elevation national park in the distance. The larger summit to the left is Cerro Mundo.

Laguna El Junco is a water-filled explosion crater at the 700 masl summit of an ancient caldera rim. It was the major water supply for the Hacienda El Progreso. Martínez (1915:51) mentioned that at one point Cobos had attempted to measure the depth of El Junco but stopped at 50 m, although It is believed to have a maximum depth of 6 m.

A few wetland lagoons lying below El Junco also serve as water supplies on the island. Although they also provided water for the Hacienda El Progreso, their water volume fluctuates seasonally.

This image was taken from El Junco, view Southwest. A higher elevation Fern-Sedge or Pampa Zone, begins above 500 masl. Above 400 masl is the Miconia Zone, once dominated by Miconia shrub but severly reduced through animal grazing and exotic introductions.

This image was taken from El Junco, view Northeast, showing the stark contrasts between the southern and northern portions of San Cristóbal. The desolate northern part of the island, seen beyond the farms in the foreground, is dominated by a younger fissure-fed volcanic center.
