- A large basin formed by slightly depressed land is located directly to the north of the sugar processing area. The area can become inundated during heavy rains, and may have been connected to the sugar processing area by an earthen canal, portions of which are still visible under the thick vegetation.

- Description:
- Two surviving Decauville Rail System wheels, embossed with “Decauville Aine Petit-Bourg IS80,” and found near the ingenio site, are today in the collection of a hotel in Puerto Baquerizo Moreno. Traction-powered rail systems designed for transporting harvested intact cane stalks from the fields employed long platform trucks with eight wheels on 20 inch gauge tracks of 14 lb rails with fixed sleepers. Each cart with iron baskets held up to 1300 lbs and was pulled by oxen tethered with long yolks on each side of the track.

- Description:
- Water was transported from interior highland sources to the processing plant in an elaborate and lengthy system of canals, aqueducts, conduits, and pipes. This modern mural is found on the wall of a local restaurant directly behind the town football stadium showing Cobos on horseback with cisterns, pipes and El Junco in the background.

- Description:
- The largest preserved feature is an approximately 3.5 m² by 4 m high structure which may have been part of the tall central building that dominated the historic ingenio. This structure may have been vented by the chimney in the historic photo. Constructed of finished volcanic rock and mortar, it has an arched opening on its western side which leads into a deep pit which likely functioned as the combustion chamber.

- Description:
- The stub of a volcanic stone and mortar structure lies directly across and down slope from the adjoined basins. On its east side is a tunnel opening that is connected to the base of the smoke stack. Conceivably, water from the cisterns was channeled toward boilers heated above the structure with the underground tunnel.

- Description:
- This intact boiler, one of the two preserved examples, provided the necessary steam required to operate the press engine and other processing equipment. The holes on the end plates suggest that the steam was supplied by a system of horizontal return tubular (HRT) fire tube boilers. Each opening was connected by a horizontal tube to its counterpart on the opposite end. Heat was conducted from the externally-fired dutch oven through each tube via a flue on the back end of the combustion chamber. The multiple tubes created a large surface area for heating the surrounding water within the sealed boiler. At least 114 openings can be counted on one intact boiler end. Deerr (1911:404) calculated that a seven foot diameter boiler with 120 tubes can supply 1800 ft² of heating surface.
