This image was published in Las Islas Encantada o el Archipielago de Colon (Bognoly and Epinoza 1905:94). It shows the labourers who fled the Hacienda after Cobos' assassination.

In 1905, Puerto Chico consisted of a warehouse, plantation manager’s house, a few simple homes, the Wreck Bay light (a lantern atop a lengthy bamboo pole) and the light keeper’s house. Martínez (1915:43) mentions a small guard house, cabin for the ship’s captain, and a vast warehouse for El Progreso’s products.

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.

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.

Economic and Environmental sustainability of the Park was originally planned through coupling conservation with exclusively boat-based tourism. Today, the latter continues to thrive; however, land-based tourism within the ZUEs is increasing rapidly, placing further strain on resources.

Hacienda goods were loaded onto ships via a large 100 m long wooden pier equipped with a rail system, and whose stone base can still be seen at the south end of the bay. Products were moved between the islands and mainland on two boats, the “Manuel J. Cobos” and “Josefina Cobos,” which were often the only available means for communication with the outside world. Bacalao refers to grouper, which was dried and exported to the mainland, especially for religious occasions.

The ZUE is designated as an area of Human Space, which includes: Urban Zones of previously privatized areas on the inhabited islands that are dedicated to commerce, industry, and residence; and, Rural Zones in the highlands of populated islands where the best agricultural soils are located. On San Cristóbal , some 93% of the island’s original humid habitat is an agricultural zone

Having attempted to establish a Norwegian colony, The colonists were socially ill-prepared for life on the island. "Many of the colonists regarded non-whites as inferior, especially the mestizos (anyone of mixed native American blood) who were in the majority... such an attitude built greater barriers than all the barbed wire stretched across Campo Noruego. Spanish language, primitive schools, an inferior public health care service, Catholic religion—not even a church they considered worthy enough for baptizing a child ." (Hoff 1985)
