- Description:
- La Cárcel's main entrance faces the street, passing through a 6 cm. thick concrete and sand wall buttressed by regularly-spaced upright wooden (matazarnos) beams supporting the upper floor joists. The interior wall surfaces show that the exterior concrete face was backed by horizontal lathes of bamboo and reinforced with barbed wire. The upper story was accessed by a staircase resting atop a squared base across from a secondary door opening on the structure’s east side. A number of vertical openings served as windows for the second story, whose floor, having been described as constructed of cement and lime, may have survived until recently.

- Description:
- The house site supported ornamented plastered concrete walls on its southern and eastern exposures, the latter having suffered partial collapse early in 2015. The surviving superstructure is clearly from a later construction. Exposed inner walls on its southern flank reveal concrete reinforced with what appear to be the rails from the small gauge Decauville system used to haul cane from the fields to the mill. Visitors in 1938 described a new house owned by Lorenzo Tous that was constructed on the original site. A 1947 photograph clearly shows a frame house incorporating the plastered walls under construction directly on top of the larger stone foundation that survives today.

- Description:
- Constructed of local volcanic rocks cemented with earth and lime, the house base is almost 2 m high in places and surmounted by a larger built-in staircase on the eastern side of the structure, with two smaller staircases to the north and south. The lack of an upper façade entrance to match the main stair case, suggests that the stone foundations were built for an earlier structure.

- Description:
- This historic structure is locally refrred to as La Cárcel or jail. Whether or not the structure served as a jail, or perhaps more likely as the store/warehouse of Lorenzo Tous’ later ventures, the property is littered with old refuse. Between 2012 and 2014, the upper façade had collapsed entirely. The area may have been the location of a communal kitchen, which historic photos place directly below the hacienda house.

- Description:
- The main entrance into El Progreso from the coast is found at El Rondel, which is decorated with wheels, pinion gears, and crusher from Hacienda El Progreso. The high road to the left runs by the hacienda house. The middle road passes by the midden, directly to the left, and the lower road bypasses most of the town as it continues further into the highlands.

- Description:
- The house site in 2012 consisted of a large stone base foundation supporting ornamented plastered concrete walls on its southern and eastern exposures, the latter having suffered partial collapse early in 2015. The massive, up to17 m long, rough stone foundation leveled the eastern slope of the knoll and may have supported the original house.

- After their deaths on January 14, 1904, Cobos' and Reina' bodies were interred in shallow graves near where workers had been previously executed. Both bodies were disinterred and autopsied on February 28, 1904 in the dance hall. Both bodies were subsequently removed for burial in Guayaquil. The canopied 'tomb' was erected on the original grave site.

- Description:
- Products were moved between the islands and mainland on two boats, the “Manuel J. Cobos” and “Josefina Cobos.” Both are variously referred to as a sloop (balandra) or pilot’s boat (pailebote), a smaller double masted schooner. The "Manuel J. Cobos" served as the principal means of communication with the mainland.

- Description:
- This image was taken during the 1938 visit by the "Valero III" of the Allen Hancock Scientific Expedition. "Wreck Bay is served by an old wooden pier surmounted by a narrow gauge steam railway in the heyday of Rancho El Progreso. Wooden pilings and rough hewn planks [Matazarno] used in its construction are remarkable for their hardines and seeming imperviousness to the ravages of time (Meredith 1939:203)".

- Description:
- El Progreso occasonally receives visitors attracted to the ruins of Hacienda El Progreso; however, most tourists to the island do not travel into the highlands, and those who do, often bypass the village completely. This tour group of local students from the coast stand at the intersection directly below and to the east of the hacienda house ruins.

- Description:
- As early as 1832, José Villamil journeyed to the newly christened Archipiélago del Ecuador and its capital Floreana in order to convert the islands into a progressive province symbolically named Asilo de la Paz, with colonies on Santiago, Santa Cruz, and San Cristóbal. Capt. Nicholas Lawson, a Jamaican who in 1830 had explored the islands, may have introduced goats, sheep, and pigs to Floreana and possibly other islands before Villamil’s arrival in 1832. He introduced cattle, horses, and possibly sheep into various islands, including San Cristóbal, Santa Cruz, Santiago, Isabela, and Pinta, in order to take advantage of their natural pastures.

- Description:
- Exotic invasives quickly colonize abandoned agricultural lands in the verdant landscapes of the highland ZUEs. This increases the effort required to bring farms back into production and incentivizes their abandonment. This wall of vines along the road leading to La Soledad, is typical of vegetative growth in the ZUE agricultural landscapes.

- Description:
- Bakelite/vulcanite tokens are extremely rare in Ecuador, but were a global phenomenon in the latter half of the 19th century. Five tokens were recovered, all hard vulcanized rubber (commonly called ebonite or vulcanite), with two examples of orange 20 centavo tokens, and three black five centavo tokens. The latter are all marked “ANACARSIS MEDINA/ CHANDUY and were the main form of coinage circulating on the hacienda during Cobos’ tenure. We know little of Anacarsis Medina, but assume he may have been an old business contact of Cobos’.

- Tokens, specific to particular businesses for local circulation had become widespread by the mid-19th century. Excavated specimens included a crude lead token (right), marked “MC”, and struck only on one side that Bognoly and Espinosa claim had a five centavo value, as did the bakelite token (left).

- Description:
- This photograph from the Historic Archive of Guayas shows workers harvesting cane. Although the image is dated to between 1900 and 1909, it must have been taken after 1904, and as ownership is attributed to Rogerio Alvarado, it may have been taken in 1909 after he had assumed control.

- The town's park and church are found at the edge of town along the upper road before it continues further along to La Soledad. The church has been in this location for decades, and this northern portion of the town is situated in the same location as the hacienda workers' village. Cerro San Joaquin appears in the distance directly behind the steeple.

- This photograph was taken by Capt. Rollo Beck in 1905 during the scientific visit of the California Academy of Sciences. It shows the port official and soldiers stationed on Chatham Island as they pose on board the schooner "Academy." Official occupations on the island included: inspector, warden, guards, postmaster, and lighthouse keeper. Despite their presence, it was observed that government authority was illusory; government representatives did nothing except to demonstrate the existence of governmental representation. Effective power rested in the hands of Manuel J. Cobos,

- Description:
- This photograph was taken by Capt. Rollo Beck in 1905. It is of a triple effect vacuum evaporator manufactured by McOnie Harvey & Co., Ltd., Glasgow. Sugar was concentrated by passing cane liquor through three vessels, each with an increasingly higher vacuum and lower temperature in order to achieve evaporation. Not only did the evaporator reduce the amount of required fuel through steam re-circulation and evaporation at lower temperatures, but it also protected the sugar product from destruction at higher temperatures.

- Description:
- Hacienda El Progreso eventually succumbed to financial ruin. Its assets reverted to Lorenzo Tous of Guayaquil. In the early 1930's Cobos and Alvarado, lost the schooner, the factory, the store and the plantations. Tous had no interest in living there or sending others to administer for him: "Soon the great sugarcane fields and the factory were but a memory." Alvarado managed to regain ownership of the schooner which was later sold to the government. In 1933, Cobos had the house and the coffee plantation successfully returned to him; however, coffee prices fell while freight charges on the schooner increased.

- Description:
- The "Floreana" left Norway in 1925 with a load of cement bound for Ecuador. It reached San Cristóbal in August of that year, where the Norwegian sailors were met by Manuel A. Cobos in his Ford pickup truck. At this time El Progreso continued to produce, with groves, gardens, grazing animals, sugar cane, and a "dilapidated" factory.

- 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.
