Mai ʻaneʻi e hoʻokau ʻia ai ka Mesa de Atotonilco El Grande e hoʻohuli iā ia i ke komohana, a i ke awāwa ʻo Santa María. Ma hope o ka muliwai ka nui polū o ka pae mauna e hoʻokaʻawale iā Atotonilco El Grande mai ke awāwa ʻo Mekiko: "He kaulahao porphyry mauna", e like me ka mea i hōʻike ʻole ʻia e Alejandro de Humboldt, kahi o nā pōhaku kēpau a me nā pōhaku one. kau ʻia ma luna o kekahi e ka mana hoʻokalakupua o ke kūlohelohe, e noʻonoʻo ana iā lāua i nā mea kupaianaha a kūlike hoʻi me nā mea i ʻike ʻia ma ka ʻāina kahiko i ʻike i kona hānau ʻana.
ʻEkolu mau kilomita komohana o Atotonilco El Grande, Hidalgo, ma ke ala e hele ai i Tampico, e ʻike ʻoe i ke alahaka me ke ala gravel, ma ka hema. Ma kēia wahi e hele ʻo ia i nā ʻāpana pālahalaha hope loa o ka pāpū a laila e komo i kahi pali kiʻekiʻe, ma lalo o ia, i mua o ka nani amphitheater o nā mauna porphyry, a i ʻole ʻo Sierra de El Chico, ma waena o nā puʻu ʻōmaʻomaʻo, kahi nona ka inoa ke ʻano ma Nahuatl "Mahele ka wai": Santa María Amajac.

Umikūmākolu mau mile ma hope o ka haʻalele ʻana iā Atotonilco, aia ia ma ke kapa ʻākau o ka muliwai, ʻo Santa María Amajac, ma 1,700 mika ma luna o ka ʻilikai. ʻO ke kūlanakauhale maʻalahi, mālie, me kahi hale pule kahiko i kākoʻo ʻia e nā pā kaua a ma nā paia nā pā kaua o ke kenekulia 16. I kona atrium, kahi hale kupapaʻu me nā hale kupapaʻu e like me nā hiʻohiʻona unahi o nā heiau o nā ʻano kālaiʻike like ʻole.
Ke hoʻomau nei ke ala i ka waha mua o ke awāwa ʻo Amajac, e hele ana no Mesa Doña Ana, kahi ala 10 km ma waena o ka pōhaku a me ka ʻiliʻili. ʻAʻole lōʻihi ia ma hope o kou haʻalele ʻana iā Santa Maria ma hope, ke hōʻike ka honua i nā māka o ka ʻaʻai. E ʻike ʻōlohelohe nā pōhaku i nā kukuna o ka lā, haehae ʻia, ʻai ʻia, wāwahi ʻia. Inā ʻoe he ʻohiʻohi pōhaku, inā makemake ʻoe e nānā i ko lākou ʻano, alohilohi a me ke kala, ma kēia wahi e ʻike ʻoe i ka lawa e hoʻokipa ai iā ʻoe iho. Inā ʻoe e hoʻomau, ʻike ʻoe pehea e huli ai ke ala a puni ka puʻu ʻo Fresno a komo ʻoe i ka ʻaoʻao ʻākau o ka waha nui mua o ke awawa. Eia ka hohonu, i helu ʻia mai ka piko o ka puʻu a i ka muliwai, 500 mau mika.
Ma kahi pā e komo i ke awawa, e koi ana i ka Amajac e hana i kahi ʻano hapalua o ka huli ʻana a i ʻole ʻo "U" huli, e noho ana ʻo Mesa Doña Ana, ma 1,960 mau mika ma luna o ke kai, i ʻike ʻia no ka mea he mau makahiki kēia i hala i kahi wahine i kapa ʻia ʻO Dona Ana Renteria, kekahi o nā ona nui o nā ʻāina mai ke kenekulia ʻumikūmāhiku. Ma Kepakemapa 15, 1627, ua kūʻai ʻo Doña Ana ma mua o 25 tausani hectares o ka pā kanu ʻo San Nicolás Amajac, i kapa ʻia ʻo San José Zoquital; Ma hope mai, ua hoʻohui ʻo ia i kāna waiwai ma kahi o 9,000 hectares i hoʻoilina ʻia e kāna kāne make, ʻo Miguel Sánchez Caballero.
ʻO kāna mea mahalo paha i ka noʻonoʻo ʻana i ka panorama mai ka lihi o ka pā, inā ʻo ia e kipa aku i ke kūlanakauhale e hoʻohanohano nei iā ia i kēia lā me kona inoa, ʻo ia nō kāu e manaʻo ai. ʻO nā mea āu e hana ai ka waiho ʻana i kāu kaʻa i ke kauhale a hele i ke ala hoʻokahi mile i ka wāwae, ʻo ia ka laulā o ka pā.
E puka ʻo ia i waho o nā māla kulina a laila e noʻonoʻo ʻo ia: "Ua waiho au i kekahi awawa ma hope o kā mākou e kaʻahele ana ma ke ala, akā ʻo kēia mea e kū mai nei i mua oʻu i kēia manawa, he aha ia?" Inā ʻoe e nīnau i kahi kamaʻāina, e haʻi lākou iā ʻoe: "ʻĀ, like nō ia." Hoʻopuni ka muliwai i ka pā, e like me kā mākou i ʻōlelo ai, i kahi "U"; Akā ma aneʻi, mai ka piko o ka puʻu ʻo La Ventana, kahu e pani i ka papaʻaina mai ka ʻākau, a i lalo, kahi e holo ai ka muliwai ʻo Amajac, ua 900 m ka hohonu o lākou a ma laila i mua, e like me ka colossus pōhaku koʻikoʻi o Rodas, ka Pōhaku. Hoʻopili ʻo de la Cruz del Petate i ka hala, a koe ʻekolu mau mile ma waena o nā kia hoʻomanaʻo kūlohelohe ʻelua.
ʻO ke alakaʻi e alakaʻi iā ʻoe i kēia wahi e nānā i ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe o ke awawa a e ʻōlelo paha: "Aia ke Alahaka o ke Akua, ma ka hema." Akā ʻaʻole pono nā hoki no ka hoʻouka ʻana a i ʻole kekahi mea e like me kēlā. E hele ʻoe i kēlā ʻaoʻao e noho ana i ka ʻoluʻolu o kāu kaʻa. E pono wale ʻoe i ka manawa, ke ahonui a, ma mua o nā mea āpau, ka hoihoi.
E hoʻi i Santa María Amajac, e hele hou i loko o ka spa a koke, e piʻi ana, ke ala o ke ala a e hele ʻoe i ke ala i ke kahakai ʻo Sanctorum. ʻO ka hoʻomoe ʻana i ka muliwai ʻo Amajac a ke ʻike nei i nā willow e uē ana ma kona kapa he mea maikaʻi loa e hoʻomaha a ʻai i kekahi mea me ka pale ʻana iā ʻoe iho mai nā kukuna o ka lā awakea ma lalo o kā lākou aka.

Ma ka pili pono o ka muliwai ʻo Amajac a me San Andrés, a ma kahi o ka Mesa de Doña Ana, kahi e hoʻomaka ai ke awāwa i kāna ʻoi loa a ʻokiʻoki ʻana i ke komo ʻana i loko o ka Sierra Madre Oriental.
