I kekahi mau lā i hala aku nei, ua huakaʻi au i kēia ʻāina, nona nā wahi kūlohelohe maikaʻi i hoʻomaka e ʻike ʻia ma muli o ka ecotourism. Ua ʻae kēia huakaʻi iā mākou e ʻike i ka Guanajuato Bajío e ka wai, ka ʻāina a me ka ea.
Mai nā kiʻekiʻe
Hoʻomaka ko mākou huakaʻi i ka mea kaulana iā Cerro del Cubilete, ma ke kaona ʻo Silao, nona ka piko, aia ma kahi o 2,500 mika ke kiʻekiʻe, a kau ʻia ka lei e ka monument o Christ the King. Maikaʻi loa ia wahi no ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i ka lele manuahi ʻana o paragliding, kahi hana e ʻae ai iā ʻoe e hoʻohana i nā ea e piʻi nei e lele i kahi mamao. Me ka manawa hou ʻole e lilo, hoʻomākaukau mākou i nā pono hana āpau e lele a leʻaleʻa i ka ʻike kupaianaha o ka Guanajuato Bajío. ʻO kēia kā mākou kiʻi mua o ke teritori a mākou e ʻimi ai ma hope ma ka ʻāina.
Puni ka huila
I ka pae ʻana o mākou, neʻe mākou i ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Guanajuato e hoʻomākaukau i kā mākou huakaʻi hou, i kēia manawa ma nā huila. Hoʻohui mākou i kā mākou paikikala mauna e holo i ka Old Camino Real. Ua hoʻomaka mākou i ke ala a hiki i ke kaona ʻo Santa Rosa de Lima. Ma laila, ua kū mākou no kahi manawa e ʻike ai i ka hoʻolauleʻa kūlanakauhale i mālama ʻia i kēlā lā, e hoʻomanaʻo nei i ka lawe ʻana i ka Alhóndiga de Granaditas, i ka makahiki 1810, e nā pūʻali kipi ma lalo o ke alakaʻi a ke kahuna Hidalgo. I ka manawa i pau ai ka hōʻike ʻana o ke kaua ma waena o nā kipi a me nā Sepania, ua ʻimi mākou i wahi liʻiliʻi e inu ai, ʻo ia wale nō ma ke ala a mākou i loaʻa ai kahi hale kūʻai momona a maikaʻi loa, e holo a mālama ʻia e nā wahine o ka Sierra de Santa Rosa. No laila, ma hope o ka nānā pono a me nā "nahu" he nui, ʻaʻohe a mākou koho ʻē aʻe e haʻalele me kahi hoʻouna nui o nā mea momona a mālama ʻia.
Hoʻomau hou mākou i ka hehi wāwae ʻana ma hope o ka Camino Real –e pili ana nā kūlanakauhale o Guanajuato a me Dolores Hidalgo- e komo i ka Sierra de Santa Rosa maikaʻi (me kahi o 113 mau hectare o nā lāʻau ʻoka a me nā lāʻau strawberry, ʻo ia hoʻi) i ke kaona ʻo Dolores Hidalgo , ʻo ia kahi ʻāpana o ka papahana Magic Towns ma muli o ka waiwai nui o ka mōʻaukala a me ka moʻomeheu. ʻO ka hope loa, me nā wāwae ʻeha akā hauʻoli wau i ka hoʻopau ʻana i kēia huakaʻi, ua kū mākou e hoʻomaha iki a hoʻāʻo i kekahi o nā kalima hau ʻono i koi ʻia iā mākou ma Santa Rosa ke ʻike lākou e hele mākou ma ke kaʻa paikikala.
I ka hohonu
ʻO kā mākou huakaʻi hope loa ma o ka Guanajuato Bajío ma Murcielagos Canyon, aia ma 45 mile mai ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Irapuato, ma ke kaona ʻo Sierra de Pénjamo, Cuerámaro. ʻO ka inoa o ke kahawai ma muli o ka mea, ma ka piko, aia kahi ana kahi i kēlā me kēia lā, ma kahi o ka hola ʻewalu o ka pō, he mau kaukana guano i puka mai e ʻai e kaha ana i kahi kolamu ākea i ka lani. ʻO kahi hōʻike kūpono e ʻike maka ai.
Ua haʻalele mākou iā Irapuato i kahi i kapa ʻia ʻo La Garita. Ma laila mākou e huki ai a hiki i kahi kahua kaʻa kahi mākou e hoʻomākaukau ai i nā lakohana āpau e hoʻomaʻamaʻa i ka canyoning. ʻO kā mākou pahuhopu e hoʻokō i ke keʻa holoʻokoʻa o ka Murcielagos Canyon. ʻO kahi huakaʻi mākaukau i lawe iā mākou i ʻeiwa mau hola e hoʻopau ai, ʻoiai ua ʻike mākou aia kekahi mau huakaʻi pōkole hoʻi, he ʻelua a ʻehā mau hola, no ka poʻe hoʻomaka.
Ua hoʻomaka kā mākou huakaʻi hele ʻana ma ka hāhai ʻana i ke ala e kaʻe ana i kēia canyon kupaianaha. Ua hele wāwae mākou no ʻelua hola a ua hele mākou i ʻekolu mau kaiaolaola ʻokoʻa: ka nahele deciduous haʻahaʻa, kahi ulu lāʻau ʻoka a me ka nahele ulu, kahi a mākou i hoʻohana ai i ka manawa kūpono e anuanu ai i nā punawai. Alakaʻi mākou iā mākou ma waena o nā mea kanu mānoanoa a me kahi o nā lāʻau hua, a hiki mākou i ka lalo o ke canyon. Hoʻomākaukau mākou iā mākou iho me nā pāpale mahiole, nā pale umauma, nā pale kaua, nā kaʻa, nā poʻe mamo a me nā lole ola, a hoʻomaka mākou e lele ma waena o nā pōhaku, a hiki i ka ʻāpana i kapa ʻia ʻo La Encanijada, mai kahi a mākou i hele ai i ʻehiku mau mika ma lalo o kahi jet ikaika o Wai. Mai laila mākou e hoʻomau a hiki i ka ʻāpana i ʻike ʻia ʻo Piedra Lijada, kekahi o nā mea nani loa o ka canyon kahi i hoʻonani ai ka wai i ka papa pōhaku a hiki i ka ʻulaʻula a me ka ʻoka.
Ma hope, ma hope o ke kahawai, hiki mākou i kahi e hiki ai iā mākou ke hele i lalo i ʻelua mau wailele nui, ʻo kekahi o lākou e ana ana he 14 mau mika i ʻike ʻia ʻo La Taza. ʻO ka lua, 22 mau mika, lawe iā mākou i ka Poza de las Golondrinas kahi a mākou a pau e kuko ai e hoʻomaha iki ai.
ʻO ka mea hope loa, ua hōʻea mākou i ka Devil's Pool, kahi o nā wahi i pili loa iā mākou, no ka mea ʻoiai e ʻiʻī ana ke canyon a ʻehiku wale nō mika ka laulā, piʻi nā paia pōhaku ma waena o 60 a 80 mau mika ma luna o ko mākou poʻo. He mea kupaianaha maoli nō. Ma hope o ka hele ʻana i kēlā ʻāpana a me ʻeiwa mau hola o ka holoholo, haʻalele mākou i ke kahawai. ʻOiai me ka adrenaline e holo kiʻekiʻe ana, ua hoʻomaka mākou e wehe i kā mākou mau pono ʻoiai e kamaʻilio ana e pili ana i ka ʻike kupaianaha o ka huakaʻi ʻana "mai luna a lalo", ʻo Guanajuato Bajío.
Hoʻolālā ka mea paʻi kiʻi i nā haʻuki haʻuki. Ua hana ʻo ia no MD ma mua o 10 mau makahiki!
