ʻOiai ʻo kekahi o kā mākou pahuhopu e ʻimi i nā ululāʻau tropical o ko mākou ʻāina, ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke nānā aku i ka ʻāina ʻo Huatulco, kūpono no nā haʻuki ʻoi loa.
Ua iho mākou mai nā mauna Oaxacan ʻoʻoleʻa a kolohe hoʻi, kau ʻia e ka Zempoaltépetl ma 3 390 mau mika ma luna o ka ʻilikai, a haʻalele i nā ululāʻau coniferous ma hope e komo mālie i loko o nā mea kanu tropical a hōʻea i ke kūlanakauhale ulu kope o Pluma Hidalgo, kahi e hoʻomaka ai ka huakaʻi ma kā mākou paikikala mai kuahiwi, e hele aʻe ana i kahi o ka ululāʻau maikaʻi ma o nā ala lepo a me nā ʻūlili hoʻi. I kēia māhele, hoʻonui ka ulu lāʻau ʻōmaʻomaʻo mai 1,600 a 400 mau mika ma luna o ka ʻilikai, a ʻo ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Pluma 1,340 mau mika ma luna o ka ʻilikai.
ʻO nā poʻe noho mua i hōʻea i kēia ʻāina mai Pochutla, kahi kikowaena ʻoihana nui e hoʻopili i ke kapakai me nā kuahiwi, a me nā awāwa ʻo Oaxacan a me San Pedro el Alto. Ua ʻimi kekahi hui kanaka i kākoʻo ʻia e kahi hui kope nui i ka ʻāina a ma hope o ka loaʻa ʻana o kekahi mau pilikia me nā lehulehu ʻē aʻe, ua noho lākou ma Cerro de la Pluma, kahi a lākou i kūkulu ai i kahi palapa liʻiliʻi a hoʻokumu i ka māla kope i ʻike mua ʻia ma ka mokuʻāina. e like me La Providencia.
Ma hope o kekahi manawa a ma muli o ka kūleʻa o La Providencia, ua hoʻokumu ʻia nā mahiʻai ʻē aʻe ma ia wahi, e like me Copalita, El Pacífico, Tres Cruces, La Cabaña a me Margaritas. Ua hele mai nā haneli kāne e hana i ka mea i kapa ʻia he gula ʻōmaʻomaʻo (ka lāhui i hoʻohana ʻia ma Arabica Coffee), akā me ka hāʻule honua o ke kumukūʻai o ke kofe, ua pau ka nui a haʻalele ʻia kekahi mau mahiʻai, me ka waiho ʻana i kā lākou mīkini hana nui ʻo Jules Verne. i ke aloha o ka ululāʻau.
Ua mākaʻikaʻi mākou i ke kaona kiʻi kahi e wehe ai ke ola o ka poʻe noho ma waena o ka ua mau o ka ua a me ka noe nui. Kū aʻe a hāʻule nā alahele e like me kahi labyrint nui ma waena o nā hale lāʻau a uhi ʻia nā kūkulu pōhaku me nā limu a me nā pua e kau ana mai nā ipu. Ua hilinaʻi nā wahine a me nā keiki ma nā puka pā a me nā puka aniani e makemake ana iā mākou i kahi huakaʻi maikaʻi.
Hoʻomaka mākou e hehi wāwae (ʻo kā mākou pahuhopu he 30 km i lalo ma ke kaona ʻo Santa María Huatulco), haʻalele mākou i ke kūlanakauhale a hele mākou i loko o nā mea kanu mānoanoa me ka leo o nā cicadas a me nā manu.
ʻAʻole i hoʻopaʻi ʻia kēia wahi o ka mokuʻāina e ke kanaka, akā aia kahi papahana i kēia manawa e kūkulu i kahi ala e hele aʻe i kēlā ululāʻau e luku ana iā ia, ʻoiai e komo manuahi ana nā mea kū lāʻau. Hoʻohui ʻia, e like me ka mea i hōʻoia ʻia i nā manawa he nui, kēia ʻano papahana i hoʻolālā ʻia e māʻona ai nā makemake o kekahi mau kumu i nā pilikia he nui aku ma mua o nā mea e hoʻoponopono ana i nā kaiāulu a lākou e hoʻopili ai.
ʻO ka nahele tropical kekahi o nā kaiaolaola nani a paʻakikī hoʻi ma ka honua. ʻO ia kahi home i kahi nui o nā mea kanu a me nā holoholona e mālama i ke kaulike lahilahi, nā mea hoʻokele koʻikoʻi o nā pōʻaiapuniola, a he nui nā ʻano a ʻaʻole i ʻike ʻia a ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻia ʻana, no laila, ʻaʻole ʻike ʻia inā pono lākou. a i ʻole i ke kāne. ʻO nā kānaka koʻikoʻi o ka ululāʻau tropika nā kumulāʻau, ʻoiai ʻo lākou ka mea e hāʻawi i ke kākoʻo, ka malu a me ka wela. Pili nā kumulāʻau i ke ola o ke koena o nā meaola e noho nei i kēia kaiaolaola: nā kolo i hoʻomohala i nā ʻōnaehana mimicry kupaianaha, nā spider i ulana i kā lākou mau ʻupena nui i loko o ka ʻili a me nā kini o nā meaola a laila ka meaʻai o nā ʻano he nui o nā manu e like me nā mea ʻāhiu, nā hale hoʻomaʻemaʻe, nā bluebirds, nā ʻāhiwa kala, nā parakeets a me nā touchan.
Hoʻopuni ʻia e kēia wahi kupaianaha a me ka lepo a hiki i ko mākou pepeiao, ua hōʻea mākou i ke kaona ʻo Santa María Magdalena ma hope o ka hehi wāwae ʻana, a ua hoʻokipa ka pelekikena kaona iā mākou me nā aniani maikaʻi o ka pulque de palma e loaʻa hou ka ikehu. Liʻiliʻi ke kūlanakauhale, ʻike ʻia nā hale liʻiliʻi wale nō e ka lau nahele mānoanoa, akā he ʻōlelo hoʻomākeʻaka kāna.
Ma hope o ka hoʻolimalima manawa ʻana me ka poʻe o Santa María, ua hoʻomau mākou i ka hehi ʻana i loko o nā ao a me ka ʻāina ʻōmaʻomaʻo. Mai kēia wahi, ua piʻi kiʻekiʻe ka iho ʻana, ʻaʻohe lawe nā paleki mai ka nui o ka lepo a i kekahi manawa ʻo ka mea wale nō e paʻa iā mākou ka honua. I ka wā o ka huakaʻi, ua hele mākou i nā kahawai a me nā kahawai he nui, i kekahi manawa ma ka mana hehi wāwae a i kekahi manawa, inā hohonu ia, e hāpai ana i nā paikikala. Ma nā kapa o ke ala, ma luna o ko mākou mau poʻo, nā ceibas gigantic i uhi ʻia me nā bromeliads ʻulaʻula, nā mea kanu epiphytic e ulu kiʻekiʻe i nā lāʻau, e ʻimi ana i ka lā. ʻO nā ʻano nui o nā kumulāʻau i kēia māhele ʻo ia ka lāʻau strawberry, ka ʻoka, ka pine a me ka ʻoka, i nā wahi kiʻekiʻe, a me ka cuil, ka cuilmachete, ka ʻūlū avocado, ka macahuite, ka rosewood, ka guarumbo a me ka kekelē, (nona ka kohu e hoʻohana ʻia e nā kamaʻāina e hoʻoikaika i nā niho), ma nā wahi kokoke i ke kahakai.
Noho ʻia kēia wahi kupaianaha e ka nui o nā ʻano holoholona e like me ka moonihoawa, nā iguanas (kahi ipu nani i ka ʻāina, ma ka moa a mole paha), dia, ʻolela a me nā ʻano felines ʻē aʻe (i hoʻouka nui ʻia no kā lākou ʻili), puaʻa ahiu, cacomixtles , raccoons a i kekahi mau kahawai, hohonu i loko o ka ululāʻau, me ka laki hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i nā ʻīlio wai, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka inoa ʻo ka otters a ʻimi loa ʻia hoʻi no ko lākou huluhulu laumania.
ʻO Ethnically, ka heluna kanaka o kēia wahi no nā pūʻulu Chatino a me Zapotec. ʻO kekahi mau wahine, ma Santa María Huatulco ka nui, mālama mau i kā lākou mau lole kuʻuna a hoʻolauleʻa pū kekahi i nā kaʻina e pili ana i ka mahiʻai e like me ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana o ka milpa a me nā hoʻolauleʻa hemolele. Kōkua nui ka lehulehu i kekahi i kekahi, pono nā ʻōpio e kōkua i ke kaiāulu a hāʻawi i kahi lawelawe kaiāulu koi no hoʻokahi makahiki i kapa ʻia ʻo "tequio".
ʻO ka hope loa, ma hope o ka lā lōʻihi a ikaika hoʻi o ka hehi wāwae ʻana, ua hōʻea mākou i ke kaona nani o Santa María Huatulco i ka wā ahiahi. Ma kahi lōʻihi e uhi mau ʻia ka puʻu mystical Huatulco e ka ululāʻau a kau ʻia ma luna e ka nui o nā ao.
