Vilcabamba Glimpse #30

The Entrance to the Ranch

The private entrance to the ranch, Hacienda San Joaquin, begins where a small village road ends. Aside the gate house there are two lanes, one to enter and one to exit.

The landscaping is very new in these photos. In time, the beautiful yellow flowers and green leaves will completely cover the walls. The wood strips on the walls are there to support the flowers as they grow and drape. The sign you see in one photo is temporary.

The road continues into the ranch and connects with other roads. There are about 2.75 miles of lighted roads in the ranch.
