Ma hope o nā kapuai o ka luina nui a me ka adventurer Sebastián Vizcaíno, ua hoʻoholo mākou e komo i nā kaʻa 4x4 i kekahi o nā mālama nui loa ma ka honua a ʻo ka mea nui loa ma Mekiko.
ʻO ka hapalua kenekulia ma hope o ka make ʻana o Hernán Cortés, ʻo Sebastián Vizcaíno, he koa maikaʻi a he luina hoʻi, i hele i ke kai e kauoha ana i kāna mau moku ʻekolu e ʻimi nei i nā huakaʻi hou a me nā mea i loaʻa, me ka nuʻukia wale nō o ka naʻi aupuni Kaleponi.
Ua haʻalele ʻo Vizcaíno i ke awa o Acapulco a hāhai i ke ala ʻo Cortés, ma ke Kai Pākīpika a hiki i Cabo San Lucas. ʻO ka mea hope loa, i ʻOkakopa 1596 ua iho ʻo ia i loko o ke kai kūʻono o Santa Cruz, kapa ʻia ka inoa ma hope o Hernán Cortés no ka mea i kāna huakaʻi i loaʻa ai iā ia ma Mei 3, 1535. Eia nō naʻe, ua hoʻololi ʻo Vizcaíno i kona inoa iā Bahía de la Paz, ka ʻO ka mea āna i mālama ai a hiki i kēia lā, mai ka hōʻea ʻana mai ua hoʻokipa nui nā Indians iā ia a hāʻawi aku iā ia i nā hua, nā lāpaki, nā hare, a me nā dia.
Ua hele ʻo Vizcaíno i ke Kolo o Kaleponi, a i kāna huakaʻi ua pono ʻo ia e alo i nā kahe ikaika a me ka hoʻopunipuni o ke kai o Cortez. ʻO ka makani ʻākau ma ke komohana, e kuʻi ana i nā peʻa, kipaku i nā moku i ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, e paʻakikī ana i ka holomua. Eia naʻe, i kēlā manawa ua hōʻea ʻo ia i ka 27th parallel kahi i ʻike ai ʻo ia i ka waiwai kai palena ʻole o ke awawa: lawa nā momi a me nā iʻa e hoʻopiha i nā moku a me nā moku.
Ua hoʻi ʻo ia i ka Bahía de la Paz kahi i ola hou ai ʻo ia iā ia iho, a ua haʻalele i kekahi mau kāne maʻi a hoʻomau i kāna huakaʻi ma kahakai o ka Moana Pākīpika. I kēia manawa ua hōʻea ʻo ia i ka 29th parallel, akā ʻoiai nā moku a me nā luina i kahi kūlana maikaʻi ʻole, pono ʻo ia e hoʻi i Nu Sepania.
He mau makahiki ma hope mai, ma ke kauoha a ka Count of Monterrey, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Vizcaíno i kāna huakaʻi ʻelua. I kēia manawa ʻaʻole ka manaʻo e hoʻopio i nā ʻāina a noho kolone iā lākou, ʻaʻole e lālau i ka waiwai a kūʻē i nā Indians o ka peni. He ʻano ʻepekema ka mikiona a ua ʻike ʻia nā ʻepekema a me nā kāne ʻepekema e like me ka cosmographer ʻo Enrico Martínez i komo pū i loko o laila.
I loko o ʻeono mau mahina e pono ai i ka ʻepekema ʻepekema ke nānā aku i nā ahulau a me nā ʻaoʻao o ka makani. ʻike ʻia nā heleuma, nā kai kūʻono a me nā awa; kahua hoʻomoana kūpono a me nā lawaiʻa momi; Ua kālailai ʻia ke kālaihonua o ka ʻāina a huki ʻia, e kaha ana i nā mokupuni, nā ʻahu, nā overhangs a me nā ulia ma ka honua i mea e hoʻomākaukau ai i nā palapala ʻāina kikoʻī mua loa o ka peninsula a hiki i ia manawa ua manaʻo ʻia he mokupuni. Ua holo ka huakaʻi mai Bahía a me Isla Magdalena a me Margarita i Bahía Ballenas a me Isla Cedros. ʻO ka hopena o kēia nuʻukia ka palapala ʻāina kikoʻī mua loa o ka moana Pākīpika.
ʻO ka Vizcaíno Biosphere Reserve ka mea nui ma Mekiko; Aia ia ma ka mokuʻāina ʻo Baja California Sur i ke kaona o Mulejé. Uhi ʻia kahi ʻāpana o 2 546 790 ha, e hōʻike ana he 77% o ka moku ʻāina.
Mai nā kuahiwi o Kapalakiko a me Santa Marta kahi e waiho ai a mālama ʻia i nā mokupuni a me nā mokupuni o ka Moana Pākīpika. uhi ka waoakua ʻo Vizcaíno, Guerrero Negro, Ojo de Liebre Lagoon, pali ʻo Kaleponi, Mokupuni ʻo Delgadito, Nā mokupuni ʻo Pelícano, nā mokupuni ʻo Delgadito, ka mokupuni ʻo Malcob, ka mokupuni ʻo San Ignacio, ka mokupuni ʻo San Roque, ka mokupuni ʻo Asunción a me ka mokupuni ʻo Natividad, a ua hoʻoholo ʻia pēlā Nowemapa 30, 1988. Kupaianaha ka waiwai o ka mōʻaukala, ka moʻomeheu a me ka waiwai kūlohelohe o kēia wahi. Aia kekahi mau kiʻi ana o ke ana enigmatic, me kā lākou pohihihi, e hōʻike nei i kahi puzzle maoli.
Haʻalele mākou i ka malu a me ka hou o nā mea kanu o San Ignacio e komo i ka wao nahele neoneo. Ma hope o ke kaona ʻo Vizcaíno hoʻomaka mākou i kā mākou huakaʻi hele huakaʻi ma waena o nā alanui lepo e wili nei e like me ka hopena ma ka pau ʻole. Ma ka pae i hoʻomaka ai kekahi mau kukui e kū a ma hope o kekahi mau kilomita, kahi hōʻailona neon i huli a pio ka mea i hoʻokipa iā mākou; ʻO ia ka cabaret Bahía Tortugas.
Hele wāwae mākou ma waena o ke kaona ma waena o nā mea hōʻiliʻili ʻAmelika a me nā hale lāʻau i ʻai ʻia e ka paʻakai, no ka ʻimi ʻana i kahi ula maikaʻi a i ʻole kekahi abalone. Noho ka lehulehu o ka North Pacific ma kēia mau huahana ʻelua.
I ka lā aʻe ua hoʻomau mākou i kā mākou huakaʻi i ka wao nahele, akā ʻaʻole ma mua o ka hala ʻana i kahi ʻōpala i waiho ʻia ma waho o Bahía Tortugas. ʻO nā koena o nā kaʻa ʻinoʻino, nā pika a me nā koena o nā amphibians pūʻali koa i hāʻawi i kahi kiʻi futuristic o ka haʻalele a me ka neoneo. Ua hiki mākou i ka hopena o ke āpau: aia mākou i Punta Eugenia, kahi lehulehu o nā ula a me nā lāʻau abalone aia ma ke komohana komohana o ka kuha o ka ʻāina e hana ana i ka hema hikina o ke kahakai o ka Bahía de Sebastián Vizcaíno. Mai kēia wahi ua hele mākou i ke kai i kahi moku lawaiʻa a hiki iā mākou ke noʻonoʻo i ka sargassum nunui e noho ana i ka moana kai. ʻO kā mākou pahuhopu e ʻike i nā holoholona o nā mokupuni; kai meaola mammal e like me nā liona kai a me nā ʻelepani a me nā pākeke he haneli, cormorants a me pelicans. I loko o nā lā a mākou ma laila hiki iā mākou ke noʻonoʻo i ka mea a Sebastián Vizcaíno i manaʻo ai i ka manawa e noʻonoʻo ai i ka nani ma kēlā wahi nani. ʻO ka mea a mākou e ʻike nei ma kēia manawa ʻo Vizcaíno Reserve ka hoʻoilina o ka honua, ʻaʻole ka ʻo nā hui Kepani a me nā vivillo i kekahi manawa, a he kuleana nā kāne e mahalo, pale a mālama ia.
