ʻO Alfredo Martínez, kekahi o kā mākou mea hana akamai - kahi fanatic o nā haʻuki haʻuki -, hoʻōla iā ia iho i loko o ka ʻimi a me ka naʻi ʻana o kēia mea kupaianaha kūlohelohe i kekahi mau mile mai Monterrey.
Ua hoʻomaka mākou i ka pīhoihoi i loko o kēia awāwa nui ma Sierra de Santiago, kahi ʻāpana o ka Sierra Madre Oriental ma ka mokuʻāina ʻo Nuevo León. Ua heʻe kahe ikaika o ka wai ma lalo o ko mākou mau wāwae, e hoʻoweliweli nei e huki iā mākou i loko o ka ʻole, ke kau nei mākou i nā kaula a hoʻomaka mākou e hele i ka wailele ʻo Matacanes. Ke pale nei i ka hakahaka, ua iho mākou i ka lele nui, me ka manaʻo i ka ikaika o ka wai e kūleʻa ana me ko mākou kino. Ma ka manawa pōkole, 25 m ma lalo, ua komo mākou i loko o kahi loko wai hōʻoluʻolu kahi a mākou i ʻau ai a hiki i ke kahakai ʻē aʻe.
ʻO kēia kahi i hoʻomaka ai i kā mākou huakaʻi nui ma o ka Matacanes Canyon, e hoʻomaʻamaʻa ana i kahi haʻuki huakaʻi hou i ʻike ʻia ʻo canyoning, canyoning a i ʻole canyoning. Aia kēia kahawai nui ma Sierra de Santiago, kahi ʻāpana o ka Sierra Madre Oriental, ma ka mokuʻāina ʻo Nuevo León.
Ma mua o ka hoʻomaka ʻana i ka huakaʻi, pono ʻoe e ʻike iki e pili ana i kēia haʻuki hou. Ua hānau ʻia he ʻumi mau makahiki wale nō i hala aku nei ma nā ʻāina ʻelua i ka manawa like, ma Palani –i nā awāwa Alpine a me nā māla kūlohelohe o Avignon–, a ma Sepania –ma ka Sierra de la Guara, ma ka Aragonese Pyrenees–, a mai ia manawa ua lilo ia i mea makemake nui ʻia ma ʻEulopa, ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa a me Mekiko. ʻO nā mea hoʻolaha i hoʻokumu i nā kumu no kēia haʻuki nā cavers, nā mea i loaʻa i nā awāwa kahi hoʻonohonoho kūpono e leʻaleʻa ai i ka haʻuki i nā mea kupaianaha kūlohelohe, e hoʻopili ana i kā lākou hana holomua i ke ao ākea. ʻOiai ʻaʻole wale ka pono o nā cavers, no ka mea i ka canyoneering ka piʻi ʻana, hoʻohana ʻia hoʻi nā ʻano ʻauʻau a hydrospeed e kiʻi i nā wailele kiʻekiʻe, lele i loko o nā loko crystalline me ka makaʻu ʻole i ka ʻole, e iho i lalo i nā pāheʻe lōʻihi kahi e iho ai ka wai. i kona huhū āpau a me ka ʻauʻau ʻana ma nā ala ʻololī a me nā kahawai.
Ua alakaʻi ʻia e kā mākou hoaaloha maikaʻi ʻo Sonia Ortiz, ua hoʻomaka mākou i kēia huakaʻi. ʻO ka mea mua e hoʻomākaukau i nā pono āpau, i loko o kahi pāpale mahiole, mea kaua, ka hoʻoiho, nā carabiners, nā pale palekana, nā kaula, ke ʻahu ola, nā pōkole, nā ʻeke, ka ʻeke maloʻo a i ʻole ka waʻa wai ʻole e mālama i nā meaʻai a me nā lole maloʻo, a me ka headlamp no nā ana. Haʻalele mākou i ka Hotel Cola de Caballo a hiki i Potrero Redondo; Ma hope o kahi huakaʻi ʻelua mau hola i kahi kaʻa huila ʻehā, ua hōʻea mākou i Las Adjuntas, kahi a mākou i hoʻomaka ai i ka hele wāwae i ka pā holoholona ʻo Potrero Redondo a mai laila aku a i ka puka o ke kahawai.
ʻO ka mea pale mua e lanakila ai he 25 m rappel; ke komo ʻoe i ke canyon ʻaʻohe hoʻi i hope, pono ʻoe e hāhai i kāna papa a hiki i ka hopena; No kēia kumu, pono ʻoe e hele me ka akahele loa a me nā pono āpau e pono ai, ʻoiai hiki i kahi ulia pōpilikia ke paʻakikī ʻia e ka paʻakikī e komo i kahi.
Ma ka hopena o kā mākou iho e luʻu ai i loko o kahi loko wai ʻōmaʻomaʻo nani jade, a laila ʻauʻau a hāhai i ka papa wai; ʻO kēia, me ka ikaika o ka hemo ʻana, ua kahakaha ʻia i ka manawa i kahi hanana hoʻokalakupua holoʻokoʻa, kahi e hoʻopili ai nā kala polū a me nā ʻōmaʻomaʻo o ka wai me ka hina, ocher, melemele a me keʻokeʻo o nā paia nui o ke kahawai.
Hoʻomau mākou i ka hele wāwae, ʻauʻau ʻana, hana i nā lele liʻiliʻi a piʻi i luna o nā pōhaku no ʻaneʻane ʻelua mau hola, a hiki mākou i ka matacán mua, kahi inoa kālaihonua i hāʻawi ʻia i kekahi mau hana hoihoi o nā pōhaku porous, o kahi kumu calcareous, i ke ʻano o nā kini wai nui.
Ke hōʻea mākou i ka matacan mua, ale ka honua i ka muliwai, a ma aneʻi mākou e hele ai i kahi wailele he 15 mika e piʻi huna ʻia ma waena o nā pōhaku, a pēlā mākou e komo ai i nā ā o ka honua. ʻO kēia ana he palena manawa paha o 60 m a he paheʻe pōhaku ʻo loko. Ma ka puka o ke ana kahi e mahalo nui ʻia ai kēia mau hana hoʻohanohano. Nūhou hou mākou i kahi loko wai; ma loko o kēia muliwai lalo ua hoʻā mākou i nā kukui e hoʻomālamalama i ke ala. Ma mua mākou e kū nei i kahi mea hoʻopīhoihoi hou: kahi lele 5m i ka pōʻeleʻele, kahi e kōkua ai ka lalo o ke one e pale i ka hāʻule; ʻaʻole i kakali ka walaʻau o nā hoa, ʻaʻole ʻoe i ʻike i kahi e hāʻule ai. Hoʻi i loko o ka wai ua ʻauʻau mākou he 30 m i loko o kēia ala hele haiki.
Heʻuʻuku ka ʻāpana aʻe o ka canyon, kahi e holomua ai mākou e ʻauʻau, piʻi a lele i waena o nā wailele nona ke kiʻekiʻe mai 6 a 14 mau mika.
I kekahi mau wahi nui ka ikaika o kēia manawa, a hiki i kahi ʻanuʻu hewa ke hāʻule iā ʻoe ma mua o ka mamao kūpono e hōʻalo ai i nā pōhaku ma lalo o ka muliwai, no laila pono ʻoe e akahele loa a helu pono ma mua o ka lele ʻana. Ma mua iki o ka hiki ʻana i ka lua o ka machicolation aia kahi pūnaewele kahi i kū ai nā lele ʻelua nui loa o ke ala, ʻoiai ʻaʻole pono e hana ia mau mea. Aia nā mea ʻelua ma ka wāwae o kahi lua hohonu me nā paia o 8 a me 14 m mau hola. ʻO ka wahi e hoʻopuni ana i ka pali e hoʻomaʻamaʻa i ka mahalo piha o kēia mau lele a me ka hiki ke hana hou iā lākou i nā manawa i makemake ʻia, ʻo ia ke kumu i lilo ai i wahi hālāwai no kekahi mau hui e hauʻoli a hauʻoli i ka poʻe lele i ka lua.
Hoʻomaka ʻia kekahi mai kahi pōhaku i ʻike ʻia ʻo "La Plataforma", kokoke i 8 m, a ʻo ka makaʻu nui loa mai ke awāwa ma kahi o 12 m i bapetizo ʻia ma ke ʻano he "La Quebradita.
Ma hope ua hele mākou i loko o kahi ʻāpana o nā slide - kahi i hana ʻia ai kā mākou pōkole - a ma o nā ala ʻololī loa, ua kapa ʻia kekahi o lākou he "Stone Eat Men". ʻO ka hopena ua hōʻea mākou i ka puka o ka lua machicolation, kahi e komo ai i kahi tunnel lele mākou ma luna o kahi wailele 6 m kiʻekiʻe. I kēia lele ua loaʻa iā mākou ʻelua mau pōpilikia: ʻo ka mua he pōhaku kahi āu e pale pono ai i ka hāʻule ʻana a ʻo ka lua ka puahiohio o ka wailele.
Ua hele mākou i ka ʻauʻau i loko o kahi waihona nui hāmama; He wahi nani kahi i ʻauʻau ai nā mīkini iā mākou me kā lākou kai e heʻe a me ka wai. I kahi pāʻani hoʻokalakupua o nā kukui, ua like ka poloke turquoise o ka wai me ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo o nā ferns i kau ʻia mai nā paia ʻeleʻele, ʻoiai nā kukuna o ke kukui i kānana ʻia i loko o nā lua kūlohelohe e hoʻomālamalama i nā mokulele hōʻoluʻolu i hānau ʻia mai nā mīkini. Lawe hou ka pouli i ka lewa a huli mākou i kā mākou mau kukui e hoʻomālamalama i ke kiko 60m hope loa o ke ala. Ua hele haiki ka puka o ke ana a uhi ʻia i nā mea kanu; ʻaʻohe mea e noʻonoʻo i ka honua i kēia puka komo liʻiliʻi. Hoʻomau ka muliwai i kāna papa i kahi i kapa ʻia ʻo Las Adjuntas, kahi e hui ai kona wai me nā kahawai a me nā kahawai ʻē aʻe e iho mai ka Sierra Madre Oriental, a lilo i muliwai ʻo Ramos.
Hiki ke hala ka huakaʻi wai ma waena o ʻelima a me ʻewalu mau hola, kaukaʻi ʻia i ka nui o ka poʻe nāna e hana, ka ikaika o ke kino, ka hana a me ka wikiwiki a me ke kaʻina o ka hui.
