ʻAʻole paha ʻoe i lohe i kēia ʻāina ma ke ʻano he huakaʻi huakaʻi, akā ʻo ia. Akā ʻo ke kaona liʻiliʻi i kapa ʻia ʻo San José Iturbide i lilo i kikowaena nerve no nā hana leʻaleʻa he lehulehu.
Ke hele nei i ke ala nui 57 (mai Querétaro a San Luis Potosí) 30 mau minuke mai Querétaro, hiki mākou i San José Iturbide, ʻaʻole paha e kū i waho no kona nani, akā ua kaulana ʻo "La Puerta del Noreste", me ka ʻole Eia nō naʻe, ma ka hele wāwae ʻana i loko o kāna mau alanui mālie, hiki i kekahi ke loaʻa nā mea pūʻiwa, kekahi mau hana hana e like me nā ihoiho, nā puzzles lāʻau a me nā mea ʻono ʻāina.
ʻO Mineral de Pozos, ke kaona "ʻuhane"
Ua hele hou mākou i ke ala a ma 40 mau minuke aia mākou i kēia kaona i manaʻo ʻia ʻo kekahi o nā mōʻaukala mōʻaukala o ka Nation. He hale ʻokoʻa loa ia, nā ʻōpala o nā hale a me nā mahiʻai, nā mea a pau i kala ʻia i ka ʻoka a me nā kala ʻulaʻula. ʻO ka mehameha i hanu ʻia i loko o kāna mau alaloa i hoʻihoʻi iā mākou i ka wā i hala aku nei, i mau makahiki i hala aku nei, i ka manawa he kūlanakauhale kūleʻa ʻo Mineral i hoʻomālamalama ʻia i nā tausani o nā metala (ʻo ka hapanui ke gula, ke kālā, ka mercury a me ke keleawe) e waiho ana ma lalo o nā ʻāina o aneane 300 mau mina. Ma nā ʻaoʻao āpau hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i nā hale adobe luku ʻia a weluwelu hoʻi, nā hale nui e mālama i nā hiʻohiʻona o ka sumptuousness, a me kahi luakini nui e kūkulu hou ʻia nei.
Wahi a kona mōʻaukala mai ka manawa o ka Chichimecas he kūlanakauhale minia ia, no ka mea ua hana lākou i nā ʻeli liʻiliʻi ʻehā a ʻelima mau mika ka hohonu e huki i ka mea hao. Me ka hōʻea ʻana mai o ka poʻe Paniolo, ua kūkulu ʻia kahi hale liʻiliʻi e pale aku i ka "Ruta de la Plata", mai Zacatecas a i Mexico, akā ʻo ka hoʻoulu ʻana o ka minia ma kahi o 1888. Eia nō naʻe, ma loko o kona moʻaukala, ua loaʻa nā manawa he nui o ka hāʻule i hoʻopau iā ia a noho hou iā ia. Hoʻomaka ka mea hope loa me ka Revolution Revolution a hoʻomau i ka 1926 me ka puka ʻana o ka neʻe o Cristero. Ma ka waena o ke kenekulia i hala, ua hiki ka heluna kanaka i 200 mau kānaka a ua koho ʻia ia ma 5,000. I kēia manawa, e haʻohaʻo ana wau me koʻu mau hoa huakaʻi "no laila he aha ka mea maikaʻi?" ʻĀ, eia nō ke mau nei nā waha o nā mines a paʻa ʻole kahi huakaʻi ma ka ʻōpū o ka honua i ke "ala kahiko".
I ke kikowaena o ka honua
ʻO nā koena o nā ʻāina nui e like me ka Hacienda de Santa Brígida ma mua a me ko Cinco Señores e kū nei, a me nā mines ʻē aʻe i hoʻokumu ʻia e like me El Coloso, Angustias, La Trinidad, Constanza, El Oro, San Rafael, ʻO Cerrito lāua ʻo San Pedro, me kekahi poʻe ʻē aʻe.
Ke paʻa nei i nā kaula, ua nalowale mākou i ka pouli e hoʻomalu i nā mea āpau ma lalo o ko mākou mau wāwae, iho mākou i mau mika i hoʻomālamalama ʻia mai kēlā manawa kēia manawa e kahi kukui nāwaliwali e hōʻike iā mākou i ko mākou mau helehelena a me ke kī o ka maina, ma ke ala, hoʻomau i ka iho kokoke 200 mau mika!
I ko mākou iho ʻana i lalo, ua hoʻonui ka wela a me ka wela, ua hiki koke, ua lohe mākou i ka halulu o ka wai a me ka mālamalama o ke kaiapuni, ʻike mākou i ka hopena o ka pana i kahi lua o ka wai. I ko mākou hoʻokokoke ʻana me nā kukui, ua ʻike ʻia nā uila e ke aniani wai, ʻo ia ka poʻe i hele mai ma laila, e hana i ko lākou makemake ma ka hoʻolei ʻana i kahi kālā i loko o ka wai. Inā he nui ka poʻe i kipa mai, nui ka waiwai ma ia wahi.
Ma hope o kā mākou ʻike ma lalo o ka honua, hoʻi mākou i luna a ua hoʻokipa ʻia mākou e ka leo o ka makani i kanana i waena o nā paia luhi o ia wahi a ʻoki loa i ka hāmau loa. I ko mākou hoʻi ʻana i ke kaona, ua kū mākou i kahi wahi liʻiliʻi e kūʻai ʻia ai kekahi mea kahiko a me nā pōhaku o nā ʻano a me nā kala. Akā ua loaʻa nō iā mākou ka pīhoihoi ma Pozos. Ma ke alo o ke kahua nui, mai ka lumi moe liʻiliʻi o kahi hale, lohe ʻia kahi mele palupalu. I ko mākou kokoke ʻana aku ua ʻike mākou i ʻehā mau mea e hoʻokani ana i nā mea kani. ʻO kā lākou minoʻaka ke kono ʻana e hele mai e ʻike i ka hana. ʻO ia ka hui Corazón Deiosado, nāna e hoʻokani mele me nā mea kani mua o ka Hispanic, a ua hoʻopau lākou i ka hopu ʻana i kā mākou nānā no kekahi manawa lōʻihi.
ʻO El Salto, pili i nā ao
A laila hele mākou i ke kaona ʻo Victoria. Ua hele mākou i lalo o ka honua a, no ka uku ʻana, makemake mākou e piʻi iki. ʻO El Salto Vacation Center kahi wahi i hele pinepine ʻia e ka poʻe aloha i ka adrenaline. I nā hopena pule a pau a me nā glider e ʻākoakoa nei e pena i ka lani me kā lākou peʻa waihoʻoluʻu. Aia ʻo El Salto ma luna o kahi puʻu, ma luna o ke awāwa nani o ka semi-wao nahele, no laila he mea kupaianaha ka ʻike.
No ka poʻe i loaʻa ʻole ka ʻike a i ʻole nā lako e lele ai, aia ka hiki ke hana i kahi lele tandem me kahi mea aʻo, a ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ua aneane like ka pīhoihoi me ka lele hoʻokahi ʻana. Makemake mākou āpau e noho iā ia, ma mua e wehe ai ka peʻa, ke lana ʻia nei ka pā o ka makani mālie a mau a me ka huki ʻana i hope, kū paʻa ʻoe a holo i mua. Ke maopopo iā ʻoe, ke hahi nei kou mau wāwae i ka ea. Liʻiliʻi loa nā lāʻau a me ke ala. Ua noi wau i kaʻu "compa" inā hiki iā ia ke hana i kekahi mau pirouette, a ʻaʻole wau i hoʻopau i ka ʻōlelo ʻana i ka huaʻōlelo, ke haʻalulu ka ʻele i nā wahi āpau, e like me ka ʻōpū.
Mai luna mai, ʻike ʻia ka ʻāina o Guanajuato i kekahi ʻano ʻokoʻa, i kēlā me kēia manawa keu a nui a kupaianaha hoʻi. Ma lalo o mākou, e lele ana kekahi mau paragliders ʻē aʻe a me kekahi mau buzzards, hoihoi e ʻike i ka mea a mākou e hana nei ma kā lākou "ʻāina". ʻO ka huakaʻi ma kahi o ka hapalua hola, akā me he mea lā he mau minuke kēia. Ua hoʻihoʻi kā mākou kaʻa iā mākou i El Salto, akā i kēia manawa ua lawe mākou i kahi alahele, ma kahi o ka lawe ʻana iā mākou i kahi e hemo ai, haʻalele mākou iā mākou i mua o kahi wailele ʻo ia ka mea e hāʻawi i ka inoa i kēlā wahi. Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe o kēia awāwa, i ʻike ʻia ʻo Cañón del Salto, aia kahi mahele o nā pōhaku a me nā papa pōhaku ʻē aʻe he paradaiso no ka piʻi pōhaku. Nui a hewahewa nā ala hele a me kekahi mau kulu mai kahi e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke rappel. Akā he nui nā koho no ka noho ʻana, hoʻomoana, a me ke kau ʻana i ka pōhaku no ka hopena pule.
I waena o nā pilikua
Ua hele hou mākou i ke ala a ma kekahi mau ʻāpana ua kū ka mea hoʻokele a kū ka kaʻa, kau ʻia ma ka ʻāina pālahalaha, a hoʻomaka e neʻe iā ia iho. Manaʻo ka poʻe manaʻoʻiʻo mai ka "ʻoi aku" i kēia hanana i nā mana kupua a me ka poʻe kānalua loa i ka magnetism maʻalahi e noho ana ma ia wahi. I ke kaona ʻo Tierra Blanca ua kū mākou i ke kaiāulu o Cieneguilla e kipa iā Doña Columba a ʻauʻau i ka ʻauʻau tematik. Ma waena o ka mahu, ka wela o nā pōhaku a me ka hoʻopili ʻana o 15 mau mea kanu like ʻole, komo mākou i loko o kā mākou kino a me ka manaʻo.
Ke hele mua nei i ka honua, ka ea a me ko mākou ʻuhane, ke hoʻohana nei mākou i nā hola hope loa o ka mālamalama e ʻike i kahi hiʻohiʻona me ka lua ʻole. Ma kahi mau kilomita ma hope, ua hōʻea mākou i ke kaiāulu ʻo Arroyo Seco e kipa aku i kāna Cactaceae Ecological Reserve. Kuhi kahi ala i ke ala ma waena o nā kākalaioa lōʻihi a me kekahi mau nāhelehele. Ua hoʻokipa koke ʻia mākou e kahi cactus 2 mau mika kiʻekiʻe a hoʻokahi anawaena. A laila ʻike mākou i ka mea kūikawā o ia wahi; ʻo ia me ka hoʻohui i ka nui, ʻo kekahi o kēia mau mea kanu i ʻoi aku ma mua o 300 mau makahiki o ke ola. Ma hope o "ke kāne nui" nā mea nui a me nā mea nui ʻē aʻe; poepoe, kiʻekiʻe, o nā aka ʻōmaʻomaʻo. Ke kālai nei i ke kahua, ua kala ʻia ka Cerro Grande i nā kala e hoʻopau ai i kahi hōʻike ma kēia nahele o ka cacti nunui.
Ua ʻōlelo maikaʻi mākou i ka poʻe o Arroyo Seco a hoʻomaka mākou i ko mākou hoʻi ʻana i San José, akā ʻaʻole ma mua o ka lawe ʻana i ka manawa kūpono e kūʻai i kahi mea hoʻomanaʻo o ka cacti nunui. I loko o kahi mālama e hiki iā ʻoe ke kiʻi i ka shampoo, nā kalima a me nā toiletries ʻē aʻe i hana ʻia me nā derivatives o cacti, nā mea kanu a me nā hui kūlohelohe ʻē aʻe.
I ko mākou hele ʻana i ke aupuni pekelala 57, mai kahi mamao hiki iā mākou ke hoʻomake i nā kukui o ka San José a me kekahi mau ahi ahi; E hoʻolauleʻa ana ʻo Iturbide. No laila ma hope o ka haʻalele ʻana i nā ʻeke i ka hōkele, hele mākou i ka holoholo hope loa ma waena o kona mau alanui a ʻōlelo maikaʻi i kāna hale pule, kona mau alanui mālie a me kā mākou huakaʻi kupaianaha ma ka ʻākau hikina o Guanajuato.
