hacienda transportation systems

Hacienda transportation systems refer to the networks used to move goods and people within large agricultural estates, particularly in colonial Latin America. These systems were vital for managing vast lands and included roads, rivers, and sometimes railways. They facilitated the transport of agricultural products, livestock, and laborers, ensuring efficient operations and connections to markets. The hacienda model, combining large-scale farming and local economies, relied heavily on these transportation systems to maintain productivity and support community interactions, shaping both agricultural practices and regional development.
