Aia nā wahi idyllic, nāu loa. No ke ola ʻana i kēia ʻike e pono ai i kahi pono hoʻomoana piha, nā meaʻai a me kahi ʻike kaiaola i hoʻomohala ʻia.
Pono ke ola i ke ola. Ua noʻonoʻo wau i kēia me ka hāpai ʻana o nā kukuna mua o ka wanaʻao i ka noe e hoʻopiha ana i ka ʻāpana waena o ka penikala ʻo Baja Kaleponi i kēlā me kēia kakahiaka. E moe ana i loko o kaʻu ʻeke hiamoe, ma waho, nānā wau i ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana o nā silhouette o nā ʻuhane iā lākou iho: nā ihoiho, cardones, pitayas, agaves, garambullos, choyas, yuccas, ocotillos a me nā mea kanu ʻē aʻe me nā kākalaioa.
I koʻu ala ʻana a ala aʻe e hele wāwae i kahi kokoke i kahi hoʻomoana, ʻike wau ʻaʻole wale ma laila ʻo cacti, aia nā pua, nā ʻano like ʻole. Nani a nani nā kala o nā mea āpau. Me he mea lā he kipi a ʻoi aku ia ma mua o ʻumi mau makahiki mai koʻu ʻike ʻana i kekahi mea e like me ia ma ka peninsula holoʻokoʻa. A hele pinepine wau iā ia. Ua lilo nā kākalaioa i mea waihoʻoluʻu, ua hinuhinu nā pōhaku maloʻo, ua piha nā pā i ka melemele, keʻokeʻo, nā viole, ʻalani, ʻulaʻula a me nā kala ʻē aʻe. Ua nani loa nā mea āpau! A aia wau i kahi wahi liʻiliʻi, mamao loa mai nā kaona, i waenakonu o kahi wahi kūlohelohe i pale ʻia ʻo El Valle de los Cirios.
I kēlā pō hoʻomoana au ma ke kapa kai o kahi hale puʻu liʻiliʻi. Ua ʻike ʻia ka hapa nui o ka lani mai kona wahi e moe ana. ʻOiai ʻaʻohe mahina, mahalo nui ʻia nā hōkū a pau. ʻAlamalama lākou i waena o nā silhouette o nā ihoiho a me nā cardones. Ma ke kua i hala e aē ana nā coyotes a me ke mele ʻana o nā pueo iaʻu. E like me ka pā iki o ka hoʻokalakupua, mai kēlā manawa a kēia manawa e ala a nalo ke ala pohihihi o kekahi aerolith. Me he mea lā he mele kaʻu i nā mea āpau. ʻOiaʻiʻo ua ʻoi aku ka ʻoiaʻiʻo i nā hopena kūikawā kupaianaha loa o nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni.
ʻAʻole ia he moeʻuhane ...
Ma ke ʻano he wahi kūlohelohe ka palekana, ʻo ka Valle de los Cirios kekahi o nā mea nui loa ma Mekiko, ʻoiai aia ma mua o 25,000 kilomika kilomika o ka ʻili. Aia ia ma Baja Kaleponi, ma waenakonu o ka peni, a hoʻonui ʻia ma waena o nā mea like 28º a me 30º. ʻO ka ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o kekahi mau mokuʻāina o ka ʻāina a me kekahi mau ʻāina ma ʻEulopa. Noho ia i kahi hapakolu o ka pae holoʻokoʻa o ka mokuʻāina.
ʻO kahi keu pono he haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa ka nui o ka lehulehu, ʻoiai he 2,500 wale nō kona poʻe, ʻo ia hoʻi, hoʻokahi mea noho no kēlā me kēia 10 kilomika kilomika. A mahalo nui i kēia ʻoiaʻiʻo a me ka loaʻa ʻole o nā ala he nui, ʻo ia paha ka mahele kūlohelohe i mālama pono ʻia i ka ʻāina.
Ma nā ʻāpana āpau, wao akua, kahi o nā mea hoihoi a waiwai nui o nā mea kanu i ka honua i puni, kokoke he 700 mau mea kahi e nui ai ka endemism a me ka nani. Hiki ke ʻōlelo ʻia e like me kāna moʻoho, i waena o nā dia miula, nā hipa bighorn, ʻalopeke, coyote, puma, ʻōpeʻapeʻa a me nā māmela ʻē aʻe e kū pono ana, a me nā ʻano manu like ʻole o nā manu a me nā meaola ʻē aʻe e like me nā mea kolo, nā amphibians a me nā mea kolo.
ʻO kekahi o nā mea kupaianaha o kēia wahi kūlohelohe i pale ʻia he 600 mau mile kona o ke kahakai, i hāʻawi like ʻia ma waena o ka Moana Pākīpika a me ke Kai Kūʻono o Kaleponi. I nā huaʻōlelo ʻē aʻe, ʻo ke awāwa o ka Cirios kahi ʻāpana peninsular me kahi kai ma kēlā me kēia ʻaoʻao. Nui nā manawa ke hoʻomoana au ma kona mau kapakai, ʻaneʻane he maʻemaʻe a me kahi kaʻawale lākou a pau, me nā kahakai lōʻihi a me nā pali ikaika. I ka Pākīpika kolohe a me ke kai anuanu, me ka nui o ka makani a me ka nani hanohano. I ke awāwa, mehana, nā wai mālie o kahi nani a nani hoʻi.
ʻO kekahi mea ma mua o ke kūlohelohe
ʻO kekahi hiʻohiʻona hoihoi o ka Valle de los Cirios ka mea i piha i nā koina o ka mōʻaukala a me ka archaeological. He nui nā kiʻi pena o ke ana o ke kaila "Great Mural", ka mea like mai ka Sierra de San Francisco kaulana ma Baja Kaleponi Sur, ʻo nā mea wale nō mai aneʻi ʻike ʻole ʻia akā like pū kekahi. Aia kekahi kiʻi kiʻi pōhaku abstract loa, e hōʻike ana i kahi pūnaewele i kapa ʻia ʻo Montevideo, ʻaʻole mamao loa mai Bahía de los Ángeles. ʻO nā koena archaeological ʻē aʻe i kapa ʻia ʻo "concheros", nā wahi kahakai kahi i hui ai nā ʻōiwi e ʻai i nā iʻa iʻa, nā mollusks ka nui. Pili pū me kēia pūpū i ka nui o nā pōʻai pōhaku a hiki i ka 10,000 mau makahiki. ʻO nā mikiona nani loa ʻelua, ʻo San Borja a me Santa Gertrudis, ma aneʻi, a me nā pūnaewele ʻē aʻe e pili ana i nā wā kolone.
ʻO kekahi hiʻohiʻona hoihoi loa nā kaona mining, ua haʻalele ʻia, e hōʻikeʻike ana iā Pozo Alemán, kahi kūlanakauhale ʻuhane ʻoiaʻiʻo. Aia kekahi e like me Calmallí, El Arco a me El Mármol. Hoʻomohala ka minia ma kēia ʻāpana mai ka hapa lua o ke kenekulia 19 a hiki i ke kenekulia 20. I kēia manawa ʻaʻohe hoʻouku, ʻo kāna ʻuhane wale nō.
ʻO ka inoa o kēia wahi kūlohelohe pale ʻia ma muli o ka lāʻau i kapa ʻia ʻo cirio, kokoke i ka hopena o ka ʻāina. He kiʻekiʻe a pololei ia, i kekahi manawa e piʻi i ke kiʻekiʻe o 15 mau mika. ʻO kāna hiʻohiʻona he ʻano nui loa ia o ka ʻāina āpau a hāʻawi iā ia i kahi nani a me kahi ʻano kūikawā loa. ʻO Fouquieria kolamu kona inoa ʻepekema, akā ʻo nā India Cochimí kahiko, nā kupa o kēia wahi, ua kapa ʻia he milapa.
Hale hōʻikeʻike kūlohelohe
ʻIke ʻia ma ke ʻano he hale hōʻikeʻike nui, ma waena o nā lumi nui ma laila nā kai, ka mōʻaukala, nā māla botanical, nā zoo me ka ʻole o nā pā, nā kālaihonua, nā mea he nui i hiki iā mākou ke kipa a ʻike. Akā e like me nā hale hōʻikeʻike kāna mau lula, ʻoiai e pili ana i ka mālama ʻana i kēia waiwai.
Nā kānāwai gula no ke kipa
Ma ka wahi mua, inā ʻoe e hoʻolālā e kipa i kēia pūnaewele maikaʻi, ʻo ka mea maikaʻi loa e hana ai e haʻi a noi no ka ʻae, a e hōʻea me kahi ʻano hanohano loa, e hōʻoia ana e noho mau nā pūnaewele āu i komo ai ma hope o kou alo. ʻAe, ʻaʻohe ʻano o ka loli i ʻae ʻia, ʻaʻole komo i ka graffiti, lawe ʻole i nā mea, nā mea kanu, nā holoholona, nā minelala, ʻoi aku ka emi o ka mōʻaukala a i ʻole nā koina archaeological; mai litter, a haʻalele i kekahi mea e hōʻike i kou alo. E pili ana i ka mālama ʻana i nā lula gula o kā mākou makemake i ke kūlohelohe: Mai pepehi i kekahi mea akā i ka manawa; kiʻi wale i nā kiʻi wale nō; waiho i kekahi mea ʻē aʻe nā kapuwai wāwae; inā ʻike ʻoe i ka ʻōpala e hoʻomaʻemaʻe i ka pūnaewele a haʻalele iā ia e like me kou makemake e loaʻa.
Kona mea nui
Ua hoʻoholo ʻia ke awāwa o ka Cirios ma ke ʻano he wahi kūlohelohe i ka makahiki 1980, me ka mahele o Flora a me Fauna Protection Area, ʻoiai ma 2000 wale nō i hoʻomaka ai e hana e like me ia, e hana ana i ka Directorate o ke awāwa o ka Cirios, ma lalo o kāna mālama mālama o ka pūnaewele. Aia nā keʻena ma ensenada. Ma waena o nā hana i hoʻokō ʻia, kū aʻe ka mea aʻe: ka palekana a me ka nānā ʻana, ka hoʻolaha ʻana i ka hoʻomohala hoʻomau, ka noiʻi a me ka ʻike, ka moʻomeheu kaiapuni, ka hoʻokele a me nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo ʻenehana.
Nā kūlanakauhale kokoke
ʻOiai ke hele nei ʻo Valle de los Cirios e ke Alanui Transpeninsular, ʻaʻohe hopena iki i kona ulu ʻana, a he mea maikaʻi ia e pili ana i ka mālama ʻana. ʻO nā kaona nui i ke awāwa ʻo Bahía de los Ángeles, Villa Jesús María, Santa Rosalillita, Nuevo Rosarito, Punta Prieta, Cataviñá a me Morelos.
