Ma 1524 ua kauoha ʻo Hernán Cortés i kāna keiki hanauna ʻo Francisco Cortés de San Buenaventura e "ʻike i nā ʻāina hou". Ua haʻalele kēia i Colima ma 1525 a ma hope o ka hele ʻana i ka mokuʻāina ʻo Jalisco ua hele ʻo ia ma Ixtlán del Río a hōʻea i Ahuacatlán. Ua hoʻokō ʻia nā hana haipule e nā Francis franciscan o ka panalāʻau o Michoacán. Ua lilo ʻo Fray Francisco Lorenzo iā Ahuacatlán, ma ka mokuʻāina ʻo Nayarit, i ka makahiki 1550, a pēlā nō e hoʻokumu nei i ka hale ʻaha mua.
Hoʻomaka kā mākou huakaʻi huakaʻi i kēia kaona waiwai i nā kahakai kūlohelohe a me nā kumu wai, i kēia lā i hoʻololi ʻia i spa no ka lilo i puka kūlohelohe i nā kuahiwi o ke kaona ʻo Amatlán de Cañas.
ʻO kāna luakini Franciscan i kūkulu ʻia ma 1680 i kā mākou nānā ʻana, ʻoiai kekahi mau mea ma hope. ʻO ka uhi o nā kino ʻelua; I ka mua, loaʻa i ke komo i kahi kiko vicsoir semicircular arch a puhi ʻo ia i nā pilasters ma nā ʻaoʻao. Hoʻopili ʻia ka puka e nā kolamu ʻelua i hoʻopili ʻia me ke kapikala ʻo Corinto. i ka lua o ke kino hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ka puka aniani chang square a ma luna o ia kahi niche me ke kiʻi o Kapalakiko.
Loaʻa kahi kūloko o ka loko me kahi pahu a me kahi kuahu neoclassical. Ma ke alo o ka maka he kiʻi kālai ʻia o "Saint Francis a me ka ʻīlio hae" i loko o ka pā pōhaku, ma kahi pae huinahā me ke kōkua o ka hōʻailona Franciscan.
Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe o ke Plaza de Ahuacatlán e kū nei kekahi luakini nani loa: ʻo ka Immaculate, mai ka makahiki ʻumikūmāhiku. Hana ʻia kona ʻāpana me ka pōhaku, he puka kino hoʻokahi kāna me ke komo ʻana ma o ka piʻo semicircular a me nā pilasters pili, i hoʻopili ʻia e nā hale kiaʻi ākea ʻelua; ʻo ka luna o ka ipuka he semicircular me kahi niche a me ke keʻa quarry. Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻākau ka hale kiaʻi me ka hoʻopau pyramidal.
I waenakonu o ka square kahi kiosk me ka hoʻonaninani ma luna o ke kaupaku o nā mea kanu i ʻoki ʻia mai ka pepa; A puni nā ʻauamo a me nā wahi ʻōmaʻomaʻo e hoʻokō iā ia.
Ma hope o ka hoʻāʻo ʻana i nā quail ʻono i kekahi o nā hale ʻaina kokoke i ka square, hele akula mākou i ke ala lepo wili i mua o ka mining mining o Amatlán de Cañas. Aia kēia ma nā kapuwai o ka lua pele Ceboruco, ma waena o ka Sierra de Pajaritos, e like me ka paia ma waena o Amatlán a me Ahuacatlán, a me ka Sierra de San Pedro, ma ka ʻākau. Kūpono ke kūlohelohe i kēia wahi mauna ma ka hāʻawi ʻana iā ia i nā awāwa momona.
Hoʻokumu ʻo Amatlán de Cañas i ke kihi hema o kēia ʻāina: aia ia ma ka palena me Jalisco, a puni e nā kuahiwi e noho ana ia ma ke awāwa ma waena o ka pā pōhaku a me ka muliwai Ameca.
He pahi olohe kūikawā, ʻano ʻē a nani hoʻi ia. Ua kiʻi ʻia ia e nā wai mai kahi poloka o ka pōhaku pele a hōʻike ia i miliona mau makahiki i hala aku nei ua noho ʻo ia i loko o kona mau ʻāpana o nā luaipele ikaika i luaʻi i mau kaukani mau kilika kilomika o ka pōhaku e hana nei i kēia manawa.
Ma ka liʻiliʻi ma nā kahawai, a ma hope nā muliwai, loaʻa ke ala i ke kai ma laila a ahonui me ka ʻeli ʻana i loko o ka pōhaku i nā kahawai i hehi ʻia e hāʻawi i kona ʻano. ʻO ia ke kumu i ola ai nā papa he nui i nā kuahiwi, nā koena āpau o ka mea i ʻāpana mua ʻia.
ʻO kēia ʻāina o nā palahalaha pālahalaha a me nā awāwa hohonu e hoʻopuni ʻia e nā ululāʻau a me nā lāʻau ʻoka, i pālahalaha ʻia ma luna o nā wahi kiʻekiʻe e like me nā polū ʻōmaʻomaʻo ʻōmaʻomaʻo e hoʻopalupalu i ka ʻino a me ka ʻino o ka ʻāina a pili i nā pali.
Ma ʻaneʻi e ʻike ai ʻoe i nā dia huelo keʻokeʻo, nā ʻalopeke a me nā ʻūlili; noho aliʻi ʻo ka ʻaeto a me ka ʻako i nā awawa.
ʻO ke kaona mua a mākou i ʻike ai ʻo Barranca de Oro, ma ka puka e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke ʻike i nā vestiges o kahi hacienda kahiko: nā paia, nā pule, kahi hale pule liʻiliʻi a me kekahi hale kiaʻi kekahi o nā mea i koe a kamaʻilio pū me mākou. o ka hanohano o ka hale i ka wā o ka boom mining i nā kenekulia 18 a me 19.
Ua haʻalele loa ʻia ke kaona, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i nā helehelena, nā puka pā, nā puka aniani a me nā ʻano momona i hoʻoulu ʻia e ka manawa.
Ke hoʻomau nei i nā ala ākea a me nā nostalgic, hiki ʻoe i ke ala e hiki aku ai i ke kaona ʻo El Rosario, ʻelua mau mile wale nō ka mamao. ʻO kēia kaona kiʻi nani, e like me ka ʻāina holoʻokoʻa, ua hoʻokumu ʻia e Francisco Cortés de San Buenaventura, ka mea i ʻike koke i ka waiwai nui e noho nei, ʻo ke gula a me ke kālā.
ʻO nā mea hoihoi loa o El Rosario ka Luakini o ka Puʻupaʻa o ka Rosary, kahi hale kino hoʻokahi me ka hale kiaʻi a me ka hale kia bele o ka hana maikaʻi loa a me kahi atrium nani.
Hoʻohālike ka square square me ka luakini. Nā hale me nā kolamu mānoanoa a me nā puka puka ākea, kahi māla waena me nā mea kanu momona a me kahi punawai pōhaku nani e ʻike ʻia mai nā lau mānoanoa e hoʻopuni iā ia.
ʻO kāna mau alanui cobbled a ololi, nā hale me nā kaupaku tile maʻamau a me nā wahi i kālai ʻia e hoʻolilo iā El Rosario i kihi nani o ka Sierra Nayarita, kahi i hoʻohui ʻia i kāna mau ʻano kūkulu hale i loaʻa kahi spa maikaʻi: ʻo El Manto, kahi i hoʻomoe ʻia i ke kahawai a Hoʻopuni ʻia e nā lau nahele ulu lāʻau kahi e kānana ai nā kukuna o ka lā, hāʻawi ʻole ia i kahi hiʻohiʻona maikaʻi loa o ka mālam a me ke kūlohelohe.
E iho i waena o ke kahawai kahi komo o ke alapiʻi e alakaʻi ai i kekahi mau loko wai kūlohelohe i hānai ʻia e nā outcrops o ka wai mehana a me nā wai aniani e like me ka ʻahuʻula, kahi i loaʻa ai i kēia wahi ka inoa. I ka Manto hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻauʻau, iʻa a leʻaleʻa i nā ipu ʻono ma muli o ka iʻa wai hou.
ʻO ke kau i ʻōlelo ʻia e hauʻoli ai i ka pūnaewele mai Nowemapa a Iune; ke koena o ka makahiki ma muli o ka ua ua lilo ka wai i ao a piʻi ka piʻi o nā kahe.
ʻEono wale nō mau mile mai El Rosario kahi kaiāulu maʻamau o ia wahi, me ke kanalua ʻole, kahi e mālama ʻia ai nā laʻana ʻoi loa o ka vernacular kuhikuhipuʻuone i ka mokuʻāina: Estancia los López.
Ma ka puka o ke kaona ʻike mākou i nā vestiges o ka Hacienda de Quesería, kahi i hana ʻia ai ka tī, nā pī a me nā kope.
ʻOiai i kēia lā hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i nā mīkini mai ke kenekulia i hala i hoʻohana ʻia i loko o ka kope hacienda a me ka hana ʻana i ka pī i kēlā manawa.
ʻO nā "chacuacos" nui loa (chimneys) e kū nei ma ke ʻano he hōʻike wahaheʻe o ka piʻi ʻana o kēia kihi liʻiliʻi o nā kuahiwi. I kēia lā hana kekahi mau kamaʻāina i ke kō, kēia ʻāpana kahi ʻāpana o nā mea i kapa ʻia "nā piko ʻono" o ka mokuʻāina, nā mea hana kō nui. ʻO nā mea hānai pipi kekahi, akā hoʻolaʻa ʻia ka hapa nui i nā mea kanu kuʻuna: ka kulina, nā pi, sorghum, a pēlā aku.
ʻIke ʻia ka poʻe i kekahi manawa ma ke ākea a i ʻole nā puka o nā hale kahiko, neoneo nā alanui pōpō i ka lā. Nānā ka poʻe ʻōpio he nui i ka hana ma nā wahi ʻē aʻe, a ʻo ka poʻe i koe i ke kaona e hūnā mai ka wela i nā patio anuanu o nā hale kahiko; ʻo nā poʻe ʻē aʻe me ka laki iki o ka hana ma ka lūlū ʻana a hoʻi wale i ka hopena o ke awakea. Ma Estancia Los López, kū ka manawa: nā alaloa, nā ala hele wāwae, nā alo alo, nā puka lāʻau, koe mau nā mea āpau, me he mea lā, ua haʻalele ka poʻe āpau a hoʻi ʻole.
ʻEhiku mau kilomita mai Estancia Los López ka noho aupuni, ʻo Amatlán de Cañas, kahi e kahe ai ka muliwai o ka inoa like a ʻo ia kekahi o nā kahawai o ka muliwai Ameca nui, e kahe ana i ka moku ʻo Bahía de Banderas.
ʻO Amatlán de Cañas pū kekahi nā kahawai ʻo Garabatos a me Barranca de Oro. ʻO ke kaona, e like me nā mea āpau o ka ʻāina, nani a nani hoʻi; Kaulana ia no kona mau aʻa gula, ʻoiai me kahi hana i hoʻokūkū ʻole ʻia me nā manawa o ka boom nui o ka ʻumikūmāhiku a ʻumikūmāiwa kenekulia, ke hoʻohana ʻia nei ke gula, ke kālā, ke keleawe, ka zinc a me nā minelala ʻē aʻe. I kēia lā, hoʻolaʻa wale ʻia kekahi mau kamaʻāina no ka mining a me ke koena no ka mahiʻai a me nā holoholona.
ʻO kekahi o nā mea hoihoi nui o ia wahi ka Luakini Parish e hoʻomaka ana mai ka makahiki 18, kahi e hoʻomana ʻia ai ke kiʻi o ka Haku o ke aloha. ʻO ka hana mua i hana i nā hoʻololi, e like me ka loli o ke kiʻi nui i loaʻa i kēia manawa ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻaoʻao; Hoʻokumu ʻia kēia e kahi kino e kākoʻo i ka hale kiaʻi, a ʻo ia hoʻi, ʻelua mau kino a me kahi kiʻekiʻe o ka dome.
ʻO ke kīpuka nui kahi kino, me ke komo ʻana i ka piʻo semicircular i hoʻopili ʻia e nā pailaka panels; aia kahi o loko i kahi nave me ka pahu pahu a me kahi kuahu neoclassical.
Ma mua o ʻelua mau kilomita mai ke kikowaena o ke kūlanakauhale, ma ke ala lepo e hele aʻe i ka muliwai ʻo Amatlán de Cañas, hiki aku ʻoe i kahi o nā pūnāwai maikaʻi loa ma kapa wai e like me nā ʻōpuʻu e kū mai ana mai ke kahawai. i hana ʻia mai nā punawai wela me nā mahana a hiki i 37 ° C. Kūpono kahi wahi e leʻaleʻa ai i nā wai mehana a hoʻomaha loa, me ka hāʻawi ʻana iā ʻoe i ka lomilomi mālie.
Inā ma hope o kou ʻauʻau, he ikehu nō kāu, kūpono ka wahi e hele a puni a ʻike i kekahi o nā minia gula a me nā kālā e noho nei ma nā pali o ka mauna. No ka hoʻokō ʻana i kēia huakaʻi he mea nui e hele pū me ke alakaʻi mai ka ʻāina.
ʻAʻole paʻakikī e noʻonoʻo i nā mikionali Franciscan, i hōʻea mua i Amatlán de Cañas i ke kenekulia 16 mau, e hele wāwae ana ma nā alanui.
