Ke haʻi aku mākou i ka inoa o Tabasco, ʻike i nā hiʻohiʻona o nā wahi ulu lāʻau, nā kahawai ikaika, nā kahawai nui, nā kūlanakauhale Maya a me nā poʻo Olmec nui.
A ʻo ia ʻo Tabasco kahi mokuʻāina me nā wahi kūlohelohe, moʻomeheu a me nā leʻaleʻa nui, kahi e kaʻanalike ai ke kanaka a me ke kūlohelohe i ka holomua. He ʻumikūmāhiku kūlanakauhale ma Tabasco a ʻehā mau wahi ʻāina kahi e noho ai lākou, kēlā me kēia me kona ʻano ponoʻī a me kona ʻano.
Ma ka moku ʻo Centro ke kapikala, ʻo Villahermosa, i hoʻopuni ʻia e kahi kūlohelohe maikaʻi. ʻOiai mālama ia i ka maluhia o ka panalāʻau, he kūlanakauhale hou a holomua ia e hāʻawi nei i nā koho leʻaleʻa he nui. ʻO kāna hanana hōkele, nā hale hōʻikeʻike, nā pāka, nā kikowaena kūʻai a me ka gastronomy waiwai, i hoʻohui ʻia me ka hoʻokipa aloha a me ka hoʻokipa ʻana o nā kamaʻāina, hōʻoia i ka noho me ke kaulike ʻole.
Ma ka hema o ka mokuʻāina, a ma lalo o hoʻokahi hola mai Villahermosa, ke kali nei ka pīhoihoi a me ka pīhoihoi i ka mea kipa ma Teapa, ka puka pā i ka Sierra Region. E piʻi i ka puʻu Madrigal, e hoʻokomo iā ʻoe iho i loko o nā wai aniani o ka muliwai Puyacatengo a i ʻole huakaʻi i ka honua honua i nā ana ʻo Coconá a me Las Canicas, kekahi mau koho no ka ipo aloha. I ke kaona ʻo Tapijulapa, nona ka poʻe e noho ana i ka mahiʻai a me ka wickerwork, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i kahi hana kupuna ma ka Villa Luz grotto i ka manawa o ka Lent. No ka poʻe e ʻimi nei i ka pilina o ka ʻuhane me ke kūlohelohe, ʻo kahi e kipa aku ai ka hale ʻahamele kahiko o Santo Domingo de Guzmán ma Oxolotán, kahi lole kūikawā o ka wā Sepania Hou ma Tabasco.
Ma ke komohana komohana, e hana ana i hapa o La Chontalpa, aia ʻo Cárdenas a me Huimanguillo, ʻelua mau kaona i loaʻa kahi moʻolelo hoihoi e nā Olmecs a he nui hoʻi nā wailele, nā lokowai a me nā mokupuni i uhi ʻia me nā mangrove, kahi e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaʻamaʻa i ka lawaiʻa, nā haʻuki nā huakaʻi wai, nā huakaʻi kaiāulu a me nā kiʻi safaris.
Ke haʻalele nei iā Villahermosa e hele ana i ke kūkulu ʻākau, hoʻokipa ka hale pule o Nacajuca iā mākou i ka ʻāina o Chontales, kahi ʻāina o nā mea hana lima a me nā mea hoʻokani kahi e hana ai nā mea humuhumu maikaʻi a me nā mea hoʻonaninani. ʻO Jalpa de Méndez hou aku - kahi hānau o Kolonela Gregorio Méndez, ka mea i kaua kūʻē aku i ka hana a ka poʻe Palani -, kaulana no ka hana lima ʻana o nā ipu kiʻi kālai ʻia a me nā sausages nani loa. Ma ke ala like, huki ka hale pule ʻo Cupilco i ka nānā no kāna alo a me nā hale kiaʻi i hoʻonani ʻia me nā kala ʻōlinolino.
Ma Comalcalco wale nō ke kūlanakauhale Maya i kūkulu ʻia me nā pōhaku i hoʻomoʻa ʻia, a me nā mea kanu e hana ana i ka koko maikaʻi loa ma ka honua. ʻO kahi mākaʻikaʻi o kāna haciendas a me kāna hale hana kokoleka homemade kahi hana waiwai e ʻike ʻole ʻia.
ʻO ka ʻai ʻana he huakaʻi o ka ʻono ma nā hale ʻaina Paraiso o El Bellote a me Puerto Ceiba, i kōkua ʻia e nā mele marimba, nā holo waʻa a me ka napoʻo nani o ke kahakai tropical. ʻO Playa Azul, Pico de Oro a me Miramar kekahi o nā kahakai a me nā kikowaena leʻaleʻa a Centla i hāʻawi aku ai no ka hoʻokipa a me ka hoʻomaha ʻana o ka malihini.
ʻO ka ʻāina Lavish a momona, me kahi ʻano like ʻole o nā mea ulu a me nā holoholona, ʻo ka ʻāina ʻo Los Ríos kahi wahi kūpono no ka mea huakaʻi, ka mākaʻikaʻi a me ka mea mākaʻikaʻi. ʻO Emiliano Zapata, Balancán a me Tenosique nā kūlanakauhale kahi e hoʻoliʻiliʻi ai ka hauʻoli i ka hoʻolauleʻa ʻana i ka karnival. I kēia māhele, hiki iā ʻoe ke kipa i nā kūlanakauhale Maya o Pomoná a me Reforma, e hoʻokele i nā kahawai o ke kahawai ʻo Usumacinta a ʻoluʻolu i nā pua puaʻa al mojo de ajo.
ʻO kēia wale nō kahi laʻana o ka nui a Tabasco e hāʻawi aku ai i ka mea kipa, nāna e leʻaleʻa i ka hoʻokipa pumehana o ka poʻe Tabasco a ʻike i kahi hoʻoilina kūlohelohe e like me nā mea ʻē aʻe ma Mekiko.
