ʻO ka Jaguar cenote kahi mea hoihoi loa. ʻO kona hohonu keu, ma lalo o ka wai, ma kahi o 30 m a aia he wai paʻakai ma lalo.
Ua hoʻomaka ka pīhoihoi i kou wā i komo ai i ke ala lepo (sacbe) me ka ʻole o ka hoʻolaha ʻana iā ʻoe iho. Ma hope o ʻelima mau mile ua hiki mākou i ke kaona ʻo Pacchen. Ke kali nei kahi hui o ka poʻe Maia no mākou. ʻO Jaime, ke alakaʻi i lawe mai iā mākou mai Playa del Carmen, hoʻolauna iā mākou iā José, kahi kamaʻāina o Pacchen, kahi kāne ikaika, ʻakaʻaka a ʻoluʻolu loa.
Hele wāwae mākou i ka wikiwiki i loko o ka ululāʻau; Ma ke ala, ua wehewehe ʻo José iā mākou i ka hoʻohana ʻana o kekahi mau mea kanu a pehea ʻo ia i aʻo ai e hoʻōla pū me lākou. I kēia manawa, hōʻea mākou i ka Jaguar cenote (Balam Kin).
Ke komo nei i ka cenote kahi mea hoihoi. I ka manawa ma mua ʻaʻole maikaʻi ke nānā aku, no ka mea, e hoʻomaʻamaʻa ka maka i ka pouli, akā ke hana ʻia hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale i kahi hale hōʻikeʻike nui me ka wai hohonu a me ka wai aniani. ʻO 13 m ka iho o ka wai. Ua hoʻokipa ʻo Desiderio, ko José kaikaina iā mākou me kahi lana a ua hoʻokuʻu mākou i ke kaula a ua wehewehe ʻo ia: “He wahi kapu kēia wahi, no ka mea, he luakini ko mākou kūpuna. Hoola kēia wai ”. Ua hoʻolauna mai ʻo Desiderio iā mākou i ka ʻāpana hoʻokalakupua o ka cenote, akā ua hāʻawi iā mākou i ka ʻikepili loea: ua wehewehe ʻo ia ʻo ka hohonu loa, ma lalo o ka wai, aia ma kahi o 30 m a aia he wai paʻakai ma lalo. ʻO nā mea ola i hoʻohana i ka cenote ma ke ʻano he hale pōpō makapō, ʻōpala liʻiliʻi, ʻōpeʻapeʻa, a me kahi manu i kāhea ʻia, he hoahānau o ka quetzal e pūnana ana i loko o nā ana. I ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ke hele ʻoe ma waena o ka ululāʻau a ʻike a lohe paha i kekahi mea, ʻo ia hoʻi he ana ma kahi kokoke.
Ua lawe ʻo Desiderio iā mākou i kahi ʻeleʻele loa o ka cenote. "Pono lākou e hele i ka pouli e ʻike i ka malamalama," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia. "ʻO kēia wahi ka puʻu o ka jaguar." ʻAʻole ia i hōʻike nui, akā naʻe me he mea lā aia mākou i loko o kahi ana liʻiliʻi. Hoʻomaka ka hōʻike ke huli lākou e hoʻi: hiki ke ʻike ʻia ke ana holoʻokoʻa a ma ke kaupaku ke kuhi o ka mālamalama mai nā puka e simulate ai nā maka o kahi jaguar.
I kēia manawa no ka ʻāpana hoihoi. Pehea mākou e piʻi ai? "He ʻelua mau ala a mākou e piʻi ai," wahi a Desiderio. “ʻO ia nā alapiʻi kaula i hiki mai i laila. E hana lākou i kēia e hoʻopili lākou i ke kaula i kā lākou carabiner a e hāʻawi mākou iā lākou i ka palekana mai luna. ʻO ka mea ʻē aʻe e ka elevator Mayan "(ʻōnaehana o nā pulley me ka blockade kahi e lawe ai nā kāne ʻekolu i nā malihini kipa) "ʻO ka pilikia ke hele mai ka poʻe momona," wahi a José i kona hui ʻana me mākou i waho.
Hele wale mākou ma kahi o 200 m a hōʻea i kahi cenote ʻē aʻe, hāmama e like me ka lagoon, i hana i kahi pōʻai maikaʻi. Ua ʻike ʻia kēia cenote-lagoon e ka inoa o ka Cenman cenote, ʻoiai he mea maʻamau ka ʻike ʻana i hoʻokahi a i ʻole o kēia mau holoholona.
Ma luna o ka cenote aia ʻelua mau laina zip lōʻihi e pili ana iā 100 m ka lōʻihi. Ma hope o ke kau ʻana i kāu carabiner i ka pulley hiki mai ka ʻāpana hoihoi loa o ka huakaʻi: lele i ka pali. He manaʻo nui loa ia, kahi o ka mea maikaʻi loa e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke walaʻau. E pili ana a hiki i kahi wēlau ʻē aʻe, e hoʻolohi kahi kaula ʻupena iā ʻoe a lele iā ʻoe kokoke i ka hapalua; ʻaʻole hiki ke hāʻule i loko o ka wai me nā alligators. Ma kēlā ʻaoʻao, ke kali nei ʻo José iā mākou me kekahi kāne ʻē aʻe, nāna i hōʻike iā mākou ʻo Otto, kāna hoa, no Monterrey, i hōʻea i ke kaiāulu ʻo Pacchen ʻekolu mau makahiki i hala, ma hope koke iho o ko lākou wehe ʻana i ke ala lepo. Ua haʻi ʻo ia iā mākou ua kāhea aku ka ejidatarios iā Alltournative, kahi mea hoʻokele huakaʻi ma Playa del Carmen, a ua kono iā ia e komo, no laila neʻe ʻo ia i ke kaiāulu a kōkua i nā ejidatarios e hoʻonohonoho iā lākou iho e hana i nā hanana mākaʻikaʻi a hoʻonohonoho i ka hana.
ʻO ka hana aʻe e komo i luna o ka waʻa a hoe aku ma waena o nā alo kai a me nā auwai. Mai ka wai, hiki ke mahalo nui ʻia ke kūlanakauhale, ʻo ia hoʻi ka ululāʻau kiʻekiʻe ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe o ke kaiāulu.
I ko mākou hoʻi ʻana i ka pae, ua haʻi mai kā mākou alakaʻi, ʻo Jaime iā mākou ua mākaukau nā meaʻai. I loko o ka lumi kuke ʻehā mau wahine Maya, i kāhiko ʻia i kā lākou mau hipil kuʻuna, i hana i nā tortillas mai nixtamal (palaoa kulina maoli) me ka lima. Ua ʻano ʻokoʻa ka papa kuhikuhi a mai ka lumi ʻaina ʻaina mākou i ʻike ʻia i ka lagoon a me ka ululāʻau.
Ma hope o kaʻaina awakea hoʻomaha mākou no kekahi manawa a hiki i ka manawa e haʻalele ai no Cobá, 30 km wale mai Pacchen.
HE WAHI A KA MOOLELO O PACCHEN
Pac-chén, ʻo ia hoʻi, "hoʻohuli maikaʻi": pac, inclined; chen, maikaʻi. ʻO ke kaona mua o Pacchen ʻehā mau mile hikina o kona wahi e kū nei. ʻO nā mea hoʻokumu o Pacchen ʻehā mau ʻohana i hana ma ke ʻano he chicleros ma ka ululāʻau. I ka hāʻule ʻana o ka mākeke maū ma muli o ka hoʻolauna ʻia ʻana o ka ʻaila ʻaila no ka nau ʻana, ʻaʻole hiki i kēia mau ʻohana nomad ke hoʻi i ko lākou ʻāina hānau, ʻo Chemax, ʻo Yucatán, a noho a puni kēlā wahi e moe pono ana i waena o ka ululāʻau. Noho lākou ma laila ma kahi o iwakālua mau makahiki. No ka pā ʻana i ke ala, pono lākou e hele ʻeiwa mau mile. ʻLelo lākou i ka wā he poʻe maʻi koʻikoʻi e lawe ʻia lākou. Eia naʻe, he ola paʻakikī a paʻakikī hoʻi ia. Ua hāʻawi ke aupuni kaona e kūkulu i ke alanui inā lākou e neʻe kokoke i kahi o nā lagoons. ʻO kēia kahi i neʻe ai ke kaiāulu ʻo Pacchen i kahi e noho nei i kēia manawa 15 mau makahiki i hala.
COBA
Ma ke alo o ka puka o ka ʻāpana archaeological o Cobá aia kahi lagoon kahi a mākou i ʻike ai i kahi crocodile o ka nui. Ua wehewehe ʻo Jaime, ʻaʻole like me Pacchen, kahi e hana ʻino ʻole ai nā alligators, ma aneʻi he mea weliweli ke ʻau i ka lagoon. He kūlanakauhale nui ʻo Cobá i ka wā kahiko o ka moʻomeheu Maya. Aia ma kahi o 6,000 mau luakini i hoʻopuehu ʻia ma kahi o 70 km2. ʻO ka pahuhopu o ka hui e kiʻi i ka pyramid kiʻekiʻe, i kapa ʻia ʻo Nohoch Mul, ʻo ia hoʻi "Big Mountain." Aia kēia pyramid i ʻelua mau kilomita mai ka puka nui, no laila e hoʻomaʻamaʻa i ka halihali hoʻolimalima mākou i kekahi mau paikikala a ʻo ka huakaʻi ma kekahi o nā ala kahiko a i ʻole ka sacbeob.
Mai ka piko o Nohoch Mul hiki ke ʻike i nā kilomita a puni, a mai laila e mahalo ai i ka wahi i uhi ʻia e ke kūlanakauhale kahiko. Kuhikuhi ʻo Jaime i kahi mamao e hōʻike ana iaʻu i kekahi mau puʻu mamao: "Aia ʻo Pacchen." A laila maopopo leʻa i ka pilina o ka ʻāina holoʻokoʻa i loaʻa; Eia kekahi, mai ka piko o Nohoch Mul me he mea lā hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ke kai.
KA CENOTE maloo
Ma kahi o 100 m mai ke ala nui a Nohoch Mul ka cenote Seco. He ʻano hoʻokalakupua ko kēia wahi; ma laila mākou i noho malū ai e ʻoluʻolu i ka maluhia a me ka leʻaleʻa. Ua wehewehe ʻo Jaime iā mākou ʻo ke awawa o ka Seco cenote i kūkulu ʻia e nā kānaka i ka wā Kino, i ka wā i kūkulu ʻia ai ke kūlanakauhale nui. ʻO kahi kahi kahi e eli ai mai kahi a nā Mayana i lawe ai i kahi ʻāpana o nā mea e kūkulu ai i ko lākou mau luakini. Ma hope, i ka wā o ka Postclassic, ua hoʻohana ʻia ka hollow i lua wai e mālama ai i ka wai ua. I kēia lā ua ulu kāhāhā ka mea kanu, a ʻo ka lua lua i kēia manawa he nahele liʻiliʻi ia o nā kumulāʻau cork.
Ua haʻalele mākou iā Cobá i ka wā a lākou e pani nei i ka zae archaeological a ke kau nei ka lā ma luna o ka pae. He lā lōʻihi ia o ka pīhoihoi a me ka moʻomeheu, ka manaʻo a me ka hoʻoulu ʻana, ka hoʻokalakupua a me ka ʻoiaʻiʻo. I kēia manawa he hola ma mua o mākou i ke ala i Playa del Carmen.
