Ma ka hema o Puerto Vallarta, ma ke Alaloa 200, piʻi ʻoe i ka mauna i piha i nā lāʻau paina a me kahi anuanu anuanu, a laila e iho ana i ka papu mahana kahi e wehe ai ka Chamela Bay.
Pale ʻia kēia e kona 13 mile o ke kahakai, nā pali, nā pali a me nā mokupuni ʻeiwa; mai ka ʻākau a hiki i ka hema: Pasavera (a i ʻole "Aviary", i kapa hou ʻia e nā kamaʻāina, no ka mea, ma Pepeluali a me Malaki ua uhi ʻaneʻane ʻia me nā pūnana, kahi e hānau ʻia ai hiki ke lohe ʻia a hiki i ka ʻāina nui), Novilla, Colorada, Cocina, Esfinge, San Pedro San Agustín, San Andrés y la Negrita.
Mahele ʻia i ʻelua mau ʻāpana e ke alaloa pekelala mai Barra de Navidad-Puerto Vallarta, aia kēia wahi mālama ma kahakai o Jalisco, ke kaona ʻo La Huerta, ma kapa o ka muliwai Cuitzmala (ka muliwai me ke kahe kiʻekiʻe loa ma ka ʻāina).
ʻO ka ʻāpana I, i kapa ʻia ʻo Chamela, aia ia ma ka hikina o ke alaloa, ʻo ka ʻāpana II, aia ma ke komohana, i kapa ʻia ʻo Cuitzmala, e noho ana ma kahi o 13,142 maueka. He wahi mauna nui ia, me kahi hoʻomaha e hoʻomalu ʻia e nā puʻu, ʻoiai ma ke kahakai he mau pali pōhaku me nā kahakai liʻiliʻi.
Me kahi aniau wela, aia ka waihona Chamela-Cuixmala, i hoʻoholo ʻia ma Kēkēmapa 30, 1993, kahi wale nō o ka ulu lāʻau deciduous ma ka Pākīpika Mekiko, a me ka nahele waena, nā ʻāina wai a me nā scrub i nā wahi kapu kokoke i ke kai.
I loko o kahi mālama i ka cuachalalate, ka iguanero, hāʻawi ʻia ka mangrove keʻokeʻo a me ka ʻulaʻula, a me ke kedera kāne, ka ramona a me ka niu niu. He ʻano like ʻole kona ʻano, noho ʻia e ka peccary, maʻemaʻe, jaguar, keʻokeʻo huelo keʻokeʻo, iguana, stork, herons a me nā kuhukukū kai.
Ma kahi kokoke i ka muliwai Cuitzmala, Chamela a me ka muliwai ʻo San Nicolás, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i nā wahi o nā koina archaeological o mua o ka Hispanic a me nā hui ʻōiwi paha.
ʻLelo ʻia IA…
Ma muli o kahi moku pohō, ua make ka mea nāna i ʻike, ʻo Francisco de Cortés, ma ke kai kūʻono o Chamela. ʻO kona mau hoa hele a hiki i kahakai, ua luku ʻia e nā pua pololei a nā ʻōiwi. Ua lilo ʻo Chamela i heleuma no ka Nao de China a, e like me Barra de Navidad, ua hoʻoneʻe ʻia e nā awa o Acapulco a me Manzanillo.
I ka makahiki 1573, ua kūʻē kūʻē aku ʻo Francis Drake i ka hale koa Paniolo ma Chamela a i ka makahiki 1587, ua hoʻāʻo kekahi powa ʻo Tomás Cavendish e luku i ka lae o Chamela me nā moku ʻelua a me kahi felucca.
Ma kēia wahi aia nō ka hacienda o ka inoa like, kahi ma kahi o kekahi mau makahiki ma mua o ka Revolution Porfirio Díaz i hoʻohana ai i ke kauwela.
CHAMELA BRINDA
Nā ʻāina hou a me nā mea hoʻopunipuni; ʻo nā kahawai, pāpaʻu a me nā kahakai ma kona mau mokupuni kahi waiwai hou i kiʻi ʻia. I kona mau aniani moakaka e ʻike maʻalahi ʻia ka honua holoholona mai nā pali kahakai. ʻO nā hōʻoluʻolu e like me nā makemake o ka poʻe kipa, ka poʻe i loaʻa nā hōkele papa mua a ʻelua hoʻi, a i ʻole nā keʻena liʻiliʻi me ka papa lepo a me ka hale o ka pāma.
I kahi e kū ai kēlā mau hana i ka hoʻokolokolo, ʻae ʻia ka pale a me ka mālama ʻana i nā kaiaolaola. He wahi noiʻi ia. Aia nā lawelawe āpau ma Barra de Navidad, Jalisco a i ʻole Manzanillo, Colima.
Ke hoʻomaka nei mai Manzanillo, 120 km ʻākau ma ke alaloa nui pekelala helu 200 (Barra de Navidad-Puerto Vallarta), e ʻike ʻoe i kahi o kēia mālama ma nā ʻaoʻao ʻelua.
OLELO HOOLAHA
ʻO ke kau maikaʻi loa e huakaʻi ai i kēia wahi i ka hoʻoilo a me ka puna. ʻOiai ʻike ʻia nā mokupuni mai ka ʻāina nui a ʻano maʻalahi hiki i ka moku, aia nā kahe ikaika e hiki ai ke hoʻopilikia i nā pilikia; He mea pono e nānā me nā lawaiʻa kūloko e pili ana i nā manawa kūpono no ke keʻa.
Pehea e loaʻa ai
Ma ke alaloa e hele ana mai Guadalajara a i Puerto Vallarta a mai laila a i ka hema ma ke ala nui helu 200. Hiki iā ʻoe ke komo pū mai Colima a Manzanillo, ma hope o ke kahakai holoʻokoʻa a hiki i Barra de Navidad, a i ʻole pololei mai Guadalajara, ma Autlán.
