Ma hope o 21 mau makahiki o ka loaʻa hou ʻana o Coyolatl, aia ma Sierra Negra, ma ka hema o ka mokuʻāina ʻo Puebla, a e ʻimi ana iā ia no nā mile he nui, ua moemoeā ka GSAB (Belgian Alpine Speleological Group) e ʻike i kahi auwai a hana i kahi huakaʻi i kēlā ʻāpana. Pēlā nō.
ʻO ka maʻamau ke kipa ʻoe i kahi ana, komo ʻoe a puka ma o ka wahi like, ʻo ia hoʻi, hoʻokahi wale nō ke komo o lākou. Akā aia kekahi mau mea kūikawā loa, kahi e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke komo mai ka piko i ʻike ʻia ʻo ke kahe a me ka puka o ka lalo, i kapa ʻia ka resurgence. ʻIke ʻia kēia mau ana ʻo "travesías".
I ka makahiki 1985 ua mākaʻikaʻi lākou i kekahi mau hanana hou ma ka ʻaoʻao haʻahaʻa o ke kuahiwi, akā ʻo kahi kikoʻī nui loa ia, he 80 mika ke kiʻekiʻe o ka puka a piʻi aʻe ka wai i ke kahawai ʻo Coyolapa, kapa ʻia lākou ʻo Coyolatl (wai coyote). I loko o ʻelima mau pule ua nānā lākou ma mua o 19 mau mile o ka piʻi ʻana ma uka, ma loko o ka mauna, a hiki i kahi kiʻekiʻe loa ma + 240 mau mika, ma nā wahi mamao loa a me ka recondite o ke ana. I hiki iā lākou, hoʻonohonoho lākou i kahi hoʻomoana ma lalo o 5 mile mai ka puka komo, no ʻehā mau lā. Ma laila kahi mau paʻakikī paʻakikī a mamao loa i waiho ʻia i loko o ke ana, e manaʻo ana nā mea ʻimi he pono nā puka komo i nā ana ma ka ʻaoʻao kiʻekiʻe o ke kuahiwi e kiʻi i kēia mau piʻi ʻana, ma laila i ala ai ka moeʻuhane e pono ai ʻo Coyolatl he huakai. I nā makahiki he 21 o ka mākaʻikaʻi ua loaʻa iā lākou nā ana nui he nui.
Ke komo ma waena o ke Ana o Hope
I ka hopena o ka huakaʻi 2003, ua hōʻea kahi hui i ka puka o ke ana he 20 mika ke kiʻekiʻe a 25 ākea, ua hele lākou i 150 mau mika ma waena o kahi hale hōʻike liʻiliʻi a liʻiliʻi a hiki i ka lilo ʻana i meander i pau i kahi liʻiliʻi. lumi. Me he mea lā ʻaʻole ia i hoʻomau, akā, ua waiho ʻia kahi puka liʻiliʻi he 3 mau mika kiʻekiʻe e ʻike ʻole ʻia ma muli o ka nele o ka manawa, a ua kapa ʻia ʻo La Cueva de la Esperanza a i ʻole ʻo TZ-57.
No ka huakaʻi 2005 ua loaʻa iā lākou nā ana hou i ʻimi nui ʻia, akā ʻoi loa, aia kekahi o lākou i ka manaʻo. Ma kahi hola ka hele wāwae mai ke kahua hoʻomoana ka puka o ka TZ-57, lawe lākou i ʻelua mau kī pōkole i kahi kī 60-mika, ua hōʻea lākou i kahi keʻena nui a ma waena o kekahi mau palaka ua hoʻomau ka ʻimi. ʻO ke kaʻina o nā meanders, keʻa, de-escalation a me nā luawai ma waena o 10 a 30 mau mika o ka hāʻule i hāʻawi ʻia i nā ana, kahi ʻano o ka ea i hoʻokau ʻia e hoʻomau i ke kau ʻana i nā kaula i kēlā me kēia luawai.
I ka hōʻea ʻana i kahi kī, kiola lākou i kahi pōhaku e lawe i mau kekona e hiki i ka honua. "Loaʻa iā ia ma mua o 80 mau mika," wahi a kekahi. "A laila e hoʻohaʻahaʻa ia!" Wahi a kekahi.
Hoʻomaka kahi hoʻonohonoho loea loa o nā kaula i ka iho ʻana, ʻoiai ka nui o nā pōhaku a me nā pā i ke poʻo o ka luawai e pono e pale ʻia. Ma lalo, ua hāʻawi ʻia kahi hale hōʻikeʻike i ka pana 20-mika hope loa i alakaʻi iā lākou i kahi lua makapō (me ka puka ʻole maopopo). Pono e piʻi i 20 mau mika e puka i waho o kēlā luawai a hiki i kahi hale hōʻike ʻē aʻe 25 mika ākea e 25 mika ke kiʻekiʻe. Pono kekahi mau huakaʻi mākaukau a me ka mākaʻikaʻi i kēia wahi.
No laila, i kēlā makahiki ua koe kekahi mau mea ʻike ʻole, e like me ka luawai 20-mika i iho ʻole ʻole a me kekahi mau ala piʻi piʻi i loko o TZ-57.
Wehe ʻia kekahi nane ʻē aʻe
I ka 2006, ua ʻākoakoa hou nā pale mai ʻekolu mau ʻāina i ka Sierra Negra e hoʻi i nā ʻāpana ʻike ʻole a lākou i haʻalele ai i ka makahiki i hala. ʻO kekahi o nā enigma i hoihoi loa i ka pana 20 mika i hoʻoliʻiliʻi ʻole ʻia. Ua ʻike ʻia he 20 mau mika wale nō ka mamao mai ka hana ʻana i ka pilina ma waena o nā ana ʻelua. ʻO nā mea ʻimi ʻelua i mākaʻikaʻi iā Coyolatl, i ka makahiki 1985, kau i ke kaula, iho i lalo i kahi ala me ka wai a lākou i ʻike ʻole ai i ka manawa mua a kānalua no ka ʻike ʻia ma Coyolatl. Ua hala ka hola e hele wāwae i kēia hale hōʻikeʻike hou a loaʻa iā lākou kahi ʻeke kokoleka i waiho ʻia e lākou iho ma ke ʻano he keʻena keʻena nānā 21 makahiki i hala. ʻO kēia ke kumu mai ko lākou hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻana i ka pana 20-mika aia lākou i kekahi o nā wahi mamao loa o Coyolatl a ʻaʻole lākou i hoʻomanaʻo.
I mau lā ma hope mai, ua hoʻomākaukau nā ʻelele ʻewalu i nā mea pono āpau e hele i ka ʻāina a lilo i poʻe ʻimi mua e hana i kēia huakaʻi. Ua huakaʻi lākou i ka TZ-57 holoʻokoʻa a ma Coyolatl hoʻokahi manawa, ua pūʻiwa lākou i ka ʻike ʻana i nā hale hōʻike ʻoi loa a 40 a 50 paha mika ke kiʻekiʻe a me ke au o ka wai nui o ka muliwai.
He 10 mau hola ka lōʻihi o ka huakaʻi holoʻokoʻa, mai ka puka komo o ka TZ-57, aia ma 1000 mika ma luna o ka ʻilikai, a hiki i ka puka o Coyolatl, aia ma kahi kiʻekiʻe o 380 mau mika ma luna o kaʻilikai. ʻO kēia ke ʻano o ka huakaʻi he 620 mau mika o ke kaulike ʻole a me 7 mau mile o ka huakaʻi, e waiho ana iā ia i ke kolu o ka wahi ma Mekiko. Ma lalo pono o ka Pūnaewele Purificación, kahi e noho ai i ka wahi mua me 820 mau mika o ke kaulike ʻole a me 8 mau kilomita o ka huakaʻi (ʻo ka nui o ka ʻokoʻa he 953 mau mika). ʻO ka lua o ke keʻa komo hohonu ka Pūnaewele Tepepa, me ka hohonu o 769 mau mika a me kahi ala o 8 mau kilomita (ʻo ka nui o ka ʻokoʻa ma ke kiʻekiʻe he 899 mau mika).
Aia kahi ʻono leʻaleʻa i ka waha o nā mea mākaʻikaʻi a pau o kēia mau huakaʻi, no ka mea, ma hope o nā makahiki he nui i kō ka moemoeā, ma hope o ka nui o nā huakaʻi a me nā ana i ʻike ʻia ma Sierra Negra, he huakaʻi ʻo Coyolatl! Ke komo nei mai luna (ka resumidero) ʻo ia ka Cueva de la Esperanza a i ʻole TZ-57 a ke waiho nei mai lalo a Coyolatl (ke ala hou ʻana) he ʻokoʻa.
