Description:: An image of a cemetery on the coast in Puerto Chico was published in Las Islas Encantada o el Archipielago de Colon (Bognoly and Epinoza 1905:129). It is unknown whether this was the Hacienda's principal burial ground. An old cemetery is located near Canon Beach. The modern cemetery is halfway between El Progreso and Puerto Baquerizo-Moreno on the south side of the road.
