ʻO ia ka mea mākaʻikaʻi Norewai kaulana, ʻo Carl Lumholtz, nāna i hōʻike i kāna hoʻomanaʻo i kona komo ʻana i kēia mau ʻāina; Mai ia manawa, ua hoʻopunipuni ʻia ma mua o hoʻokahi mea hoʻolaha e nā leʻaleʻa o nā kuahiwi Duranguense.
ʻO ka mea ʻimi ʻimi kaulana ʻo Carl Lumholtz i hōʻike ʻia i kāna mau memo i kona komo ʻana i nā ʻāina kaʻao o ka mokuʻāina ʻo Durango; Mai ia manawa ua hoʻopunipuni ʻia ʻoi aku ma mua o hoʻokahi o ka mea hoʻolaha a me ka mea mākaʻikaʻi e nā ʻōlelo a kēia huakaʻi huakaʻi ʻole mai ka Sierra Madre Occidental, kahi ʻāina hihiu e kono iā ʻoe e ʻike i kāna mau huna, ʻo ka hapanui o lākou e hūnā ʻia ma waena o nā kahawai a me nā pae mauna e noho ʻia e Tepehuane, Huichol a me ʻO Mekiko, nā lāhui o nā kuʻuna waiwai, ka mōʻaukala a me ka moʻomeheu.
I ka panalāʻau nui o Durango, nā ʻano ʻāina like ʻole a ʻokoʻa hoʻi o nā kuahiwi, nā tropics a me nā wao nahele intermingle, nā mea maikaʻi loa; ʻO lākou āpau, hiki iā mākou ke ʻōlelo he ʻelua nā mea e pīhoihoi loa a hoʻokūhoihoi i nā mea ʻimi a me nā mea hoʻolaha: ka Sierra Madre Occidental a me ka Bolson de Mapimí Biosphere Reserve, kahi i kū ai ka Zone pohihihi o ka Hū.
ʻO ke ala ʻoi loa e ʻike ai i nā mea huna o ka Sierra Madre Occidental ʻoʻoleʻa, e hoʻonui ʻia ma luna o 76,096 km2 ma Durango, ma o ka hele ʻana i nā huakaʻi ecotourism, ma ka wāwae paha a ma ke kaʻa mauna.
He ʻano nui a lehulehu nā ala hele, akā i loko o ia mau mea āpau e loaʻa iā ʻoe ka manawa kūpono e leʻaleʻa ai i nā hiʻohiʻona nani a e ʻike ai i nā mea ulu a me nā holoholona, a me nā waiwai mōʻaukala o ka mokuʻāina.
Hiki i nā huakaʻi ke hele i hoʻokahi, ʻehiku a ʻoi paha mau lā e lōʻihi e mākaʻikaʻi i nā pūnaewele kahi e ʻike mau ʻia ai nā mea huna a hūnā ʻia i ka puʻuwai o ka Sierra Madre. ʻO nā wailele nui a me nā jet o ka wai i waena o nā mea kiʻekiʻe loa o ka ʻāina e hāʻule i loko o kāna mau pali hohonu. ʻO ke ala ʻoi loa e leʻaleʻa ai iā lākou ma o nā ʻōiwi raper, e hele wāwae ana ma waena o nā pōhaku a ʻau ʻana i nā loko hōʻoluʻolu o ka wai aniani. ʻO kekahi manawa kūpono e ʻike ai i ka nani maoli o ka mokuʻāina ʻo Bolson de Mapimí, ka wao nahele maloʻo kahi kokoke e ua ʻole (260 mm o ka makahiki) a ʻo ia hoʻokahi manawa, miliona mau makahiki i hala aku nei, ʻo ia ka lalo o ke kai, a ma kahi i kapa ʻia i kēia lā ʻO Zona del Silencio, kahi lewa maikaʻi me nā ʻano ʻano ʻē o ke ola, nā napoʻo ʻana o nā lā he nui, nā pō hōkū a me nā hanana hanana ʻole i ʻāpana o ka Mapimí Biosphere Reserve.
No ka poʻe makemake i nā huakaʻi kaʻa mauna, ʻano ʻokoʻa nā koho, ʻoiai ke hōʻike ʻia nei ka ʻāina i nā ʻāina maikaʻi e ʻae iā ʻoe e leʻaleʻa i nā hele wāwae lōʻihi. ʻO nā pūnaewele no kēia nā kaona o Chupaderos, Tayoltita, kahi e hiki ai i nā awāwa kupaianaha ʻelua, a me Chorro del Caliche, mai kahi e hiki ai ʻoe i Sierra Madre ma o nā ala paʻakikī a me nā ala i nā ala ʻoi aku ʻehā lā ka lōʻihi.
No nā hele wāwae aia kekahi mau wahi e like me Las Ventanas, kahi e alakaʻi ai i ka pūnaewele archaeological o La Ferrería a me kahi moʻo o nā awawa; a me ka Río del Arco, e hāʻawi nei i nā mea hiki ke loaʻa i ke kai aniani o ka mauna.
ʻO nā wahi hoihoi ʻē aʻe kahi o ke kahawai ʻo Bayacora, kahi o nā wahi ululāʻau a me nā hoʻonohonoho o ka nani nui, e like me ka ʻimi e like me ka mākaʻikaʻi ʻana i ka moku o ka Zone of Silence, kahi e hoʻohui ai i nā huakaʻi kaʻa kaʻaahi mauna, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomoana a hana nā hele wāwae, nā hana i kuhikuhi ʻia e nā alakaʻi ʻoihana a komo pū me ka nānā ʻana i ka waihona lani a me ka mahalo i ka flora a me nā holoholona o ka ʻāina.
Mālama ʻo Durango i nā mea hou aku hou aʻe no ka poʻe makemake e ʻike i kahi ʻano ʻokoʻa, kahi ʻokoʻa o ka maka multifaceted o Mekiko i pau ʻole e hoʻopūʻiwa iā mākou me nā nani a me nā hiʻohiʻona hou, kahi e waiho mau ai i ka mea kipa kahi mālamalama o kahi honua kupaianaha piha i ka huakaʻi.
Hoʻolālā ka mea paʻi kiʻi i nā haʻuki haʻuki. Ua hana ʻo ia no MD ma mua o 10 mau makahiki!
