ʻO ka Lacandon Jungle, kēlā ʻāina maikaʻi i noho ʻia e ka moʻomeheu Maya kahiko, ua ʻumeʻume mau ka manaʻo o ka poʻe huakaʻi nui, nā ʻepekema, nā anthropologists, nā archaeologists, nā mea kākau moʻolelo, nā biologists, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe, nona nā makahiki he 100 a ʻoi i huki ai i ka Mālamalama o nā waiwai huna a ka nahele e pale aku ai: nā wahi archaeological i hoʻopau ʻia e nā mea kanu, nā mea ulu a kupaianaha hoʻi a me nā holoholona, nā mea nani maoli.
ʻO ka Lacandon Jungle ka palena komohana o ka ululāʻau tropical i kapa ʻia ʻo Gran Petén, ka laulā a me ka ʻākau o Mesoamerica. ʻO ka Greater Petén kahi o nā ululāʻau o ka hema o Campeche a me Quintana Roo, ʻo ka Lacandon Jungle o Chiapas, e like me ka Montes Azules Biosphere Reserve, a me nā ululāʻau o Guatemalan a me Belizean Petén. Hana kēia mau wahi āpau i ka nui o ka nahele i kū i ke kumu o ka penikala Yucatecan. ʻAʻole ʻoi aku ka ulu o ka ululāʻau ma mua o 500 mau mika ma luna o ka ʻilikai, koe wale no ka ʻāpana ʻo Lacandon, nona ka pae kiʻekiʻe mai 100 a ʻoi aku ma mua o 1400 mika ma luna o ka ʻilikai, e hoʻolilo ana iā ia i mea waiwai i ka biodiversity.
I kēia manawa ua hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ʻo Lacandon Jungle i nā wahi like ʻole o ka pale a me ka hoʻohana ʻana, ʻoiai ʻo ka mea hope loa e noho aliʻi ana ma mua, a i kēlā me kēia lā he mau ʻeka he nui o kēia kaiaolaola kupaianaha, kū hoʻokahi i ka honua, i ʻaihue ʻia, hoʻohana ʻia a luku ʻia.
ʻO kā mākou mākaʻikaʻi, i kākoʻo ʻia e ka hui Conservation International, lawe ʻia i loko o ka Montes Azules Biosphere Reserve; ʻO ka pahuhopu e kipa aku i ka ʻāina kiʻekiʻe a kuahiwi, kahi e kū ai nā kahawai maikaʻi ʻo El Ocotal, El Suspiro, Yanki a me Ojos Azules (ma ka hema a me ke kūkulu ʻākau), a ma kahi pae ʻelua e hoʻokele i ka muliwai ʻo Lacantún a hiki i ka moʻolelo kilokilo a me ka kaʻao Colorado Canyon , ma ka palena me Guatemala.
No laila, wahī ʻia i ka noe kakahiaka, haʻalele mākou iā Palestine no Plan de Ayutla; ma ke ala mākou i hālāwai ai me kekahi poʻe mahiʻai e hele ana i ke kula; ʻO ka hapa nui o lākou e hele wāwae i ʻekolu a i ʻehā mau hola e kiʻi i nā māla kulina, nā kumu kope, a i ʻole nā kumu chicle kahi e hana ai ma ke ʻano he poʻe paʻahana i ke ao.
Ma Plan de Ayutla aia mākou i kā mākou mau alakaʻi a haʻalele koke mākou. I ko mākou holomua ʻana, ua huli ke alanui ākea ākea i kahi ala ʻūlū haiki, kahi a mākou i hāʻule ai i lalo i ko mākou mau kuli. Ua hele mai ka ua a hele koke, me he mea lā ke hele nei mākou i kahi palena hoʻokalakupua. Mai nā mea kanu hele mākou i loko o ka mānoanoa o ka ululāʻau: ke komo nei mākou i ka ulu lāʻau ulu mau loa e uhi ana i ka hapa nui o nā mālama. I ko mākou piʻi ʻana i ke kōkua kūpikipiki, kū mai kahi waihona lau nahele kupaianaha ma luna o ko mākou mau poʻo, pena ʻia i nā leo ʻōmaʻomaʻo a me nā melemele like ʻole i hiki ke noʻonoʻo ʻia. I kēia kaiaolaola, hiki i nā lāʻau nui he 60 m ke kiʻekiʻe, ʻo ka mea nui ka palo de aro, canshán, guanacaste, cedar, mahogany a me ceiba, kahi lōʻihi loa nā lianas, nā lianas, nā mea piʻi piʻi a me nā mea kanu epiphytic e kau a pili. , i waena o nā bromeliads, araceae a me nā orchids i nui. ʻO ka strata lalo e noho ʻia me nā mea kanu ʻōmaʻomaʻo umbrophilic, nā ferns nunui a me nā lāʻau pā ʻoiʻoi.
Ma hope o kahi piʻi lōʻihi e hele ana i nā kahawai pau ʻole, ua hōʻea mākou i ka piko o kahi pā nui: aia mākou ma ke kahakai ʻo El Suspiro lagoon, i uhi ʻia me nā jimbales, nā kaiaolaola paʻakikī e hoʻomohala ma nā kahawai. a me nā lagoons, kahi e ulu ai nā tular mānoanoa, kahi o ka herona keʻokeʻo.
ʻOiai mākou e makaʻu nei i nā makika, ua loaʻa i kahi mulete kekahi pilikia me kekahi o kāna mau hoki, nāna i hoʻolei ka ukana. Ua kapa ʻia ka mea nona ka holoholona ʻo Diego a he Tzeltal India ia i hoʻolaʻa ʻia no ke kālepa ʻana; Hoʻouka ʻo ia i ka meaʻai, nā mea inu ʻume, nā paka, nā berena, ka ʻāpala niho, nā kini, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe, a ʻo ia nō hoʻi ke keiki lawe lima a me ka hana no ka puʻukaua pūʻali koa e waiho ana ma kapa o ka lagoon Yanki.
ʻO ka mea hope loa, ma hope o ʻewalu mau hola o ka hele wāwae ʻana ma waena o ka ululāʻau mānoanoa ua hōʻea mākou i ke kai kūʻono ʻo Yanki, kahi a mākou i hoʻomoana ai. Ma laila nō hoʻi i hoʻonui aku ai kā mākou hoaaloha ʻo Diego i kāna hale kūʻai, kahi i kūʻai aku ai i nā mea kūʻai aku a hāʻawi i nā leka a me nā kauoha ʻē aʻe i ka pūʻali koa.
I ka lā aʻe, me nā kukuna mua o ka lā e hāpai ana i ka noe mānoanoa mai ka lagoon, ua hoʻomaka mākou i kā mākou mākaʻikaʻi ʻana i ka nahele, alakaʻi ʻia e ʻekolu mau ʻōiwi i hui pū me Conservation International. Hele hou mākou i loko o ka ululāʻau, kau mua mākou i kahi peʻa kahiko a hoe i kekahi o nā kapa o ke kahawai ʻo Yanki, a mai laila aku mākou e hoʻomau nei i ka wāwae, e hele ana i ka ululāʻau.
Kupanaha loa nā mea kanu o kēia wahi, ʻoiai he 50% o nā laha i hopena; Uhi ʻia nā wahi o nā lagoons e ka ua ulu mauna kiʻekiʻe, noho ʻia e ceibas, palo mulato, ramón, zapote, chicle a me guanacaste. Ulu nā ulu lāʻau ʻaka-ʻoka i nā kuahiwi kiʻekiʻe e hoʻopuni ana i nā lagoons.
Ma hope o ʻelua mau hola ua hōʻea mākou i ka lagoon. ʻO El Ocotal, kahi kino wai kupaianaha a ka nahele i pale ai no nā makahiki he mau kaukani, maʻemaʻe a maʻemaʻe ka wai, me nā kani ʻōmaʻomaʻo a me ka uliuli.
Ma ke awakea hoʻi mākou i ka lagoon Yanki, kahi e noho ai i ke koena o ka lā e ʻimi ana i nā tular e ulu ana ma kapa. Eia ka herona keʻokeʻo nui a he mea maʻamau ka ʻike ʻana i nā touchans; ʻLelo nā kamaʻāina i ka wā o ke ʻauinalā e ʻau aku nā pīʻāʻī.
I ka lā aʻe ua hoʻi mākou e hoʻokele i ka lagoon ʻo Yanki no ka manawa hope loa, a hoʻomaka ana mai kekahi o kona mau wēlau ua hoʻomaka mākou i ka hele wāwae i ke kai kūʻono ʻo Ojos Azules; Lawe iā mākou ma kahi o ʻehā mau hola e hiki ai i laila, e iho ana i kahi canyon nui e waiho ana i loko o ka wai kai. I ko mākou ala ʻike mākou i kahi mea kanu nunui i kapa ʻia he pepeiao o ka elephant, hiki ke uhi ʻehā mau kānaka. Ke iho nei ma waena o kahi ala lepo a hōʻea mākou i ke kahakai o ka lagoon ʻo Ojos Azules; no ka hapanui o nā mea nani no ka waihoʻoluʻu uliuli o kona wai. Ua hoʻohiki mākou e hoʻi, malia paha me kekahi o nā kayak a me nā kapa scuba e ʻimi i ka lalo o kēia mau alo kai hoʻokalakupua a e ʻike hou aʻe e pili ana i kā lākou mea huna.
Me ka nui ʻole o ka manawa e lilo, hoʻomaka mākou i ke ala hoʻi, i mua o mākou i kahi lā lōʻihi loa o nā hola he ʻumikūmālua, e hele ana me ka machete i ka lima a me ke kaua kūʻē i ka quagmire; ua hōʻea mākou i ke kūlanakauhale o Palesetina, mai kahi, i nā lā aʻe, e hoʻomau mākou me ka ʻāpana ʻelua o ka huakaʻi a hiki i ka palena hope loa o Mekiko: ka waha o Chajul a me ka muliwai ʻo Lacantún, e ʻimi nei i ka moʻolelo kilokilo ʻo Colorado Canyon ...
