Correct, it is the hacienda at Timbabichi or what's left of it. Built from the sale of a greenish pearl found in the waters there.

Yes and no, it is looking down at Agua Verde but from the back road coming from Constitucion. When this picture was taken the dirt road down was wiped
out from a hurricane and was not passable, we had to turn around.

So we still need to know where the chapel is and the flying saucer that Rudy is on top of, yes?
It looks like an onyx dome or some kind of ancient hot spring formation perhaps?

No it's Timbabichi, near the coast east of Constitucion.

DK, I'm not positive but I think it is volcanic ash.

Hi Kevin, yesterday CJ answered it and TW confirmed, it is the building at Timbabichi.
The arched doorway used is a similar style to the French El Boleo mine ranch houses at La Prosperidad and San Miguel (south of El Barril).

It has the characteristic look of an onyx dome or some other mineral spring deposit (white calcite), harder than the volcanic soil that once covered
it and is now eroded away, leaving the dome behind.
Where is GeoRock when you need her? LOL!

David I really don't know. It was about 5 years ago when I took the picture. If no one guesses it I'll tell you where it is and maybe we can figure
out what it is made of. We were driving by and it looked like a space ship so we went over to it.

As I recall, after we searched for the Lost Mission of Santa Ysabel, in Arroyo el Volcan, you didn't join us (BajaCat & El Vergel) to look at the
geyser and onyx dome, the morning we left camp?
José (BAJACAT) on top of the onyx dome of El Volcan.
Here is the current geyser at El Volcan, that will someday become an onyx dome as well...
