Yeqa ngemuva kokugxuma, ibhajwe phakathi kobulembu obukhule ngeziqu eziwile, uMfula i-Amajac, njengengane engazinzile, uphuma ezintabeni zezitho ze-Actopan.
Inkungu yasekuseni iphulula amahlathi e-El Chico National Park. Izwe laseHidalgo likhanya limanzi futhi liyabanda. Izitshalo zivumela amazolo ehla emacembe awo, kanti ukukhononda okuthambile kwempophoma yaseBandola kuvumelana nezingoma zezinyoni, njengasekhonsathini enkulu. Eqa ngemuva kokugxuma, ebambene phakathi kobulembu obukhulele ezigodini eziwile, uMfula i-Amajac, njengengane engazinzile, uyazalwa. Amatshe, amadwala, ama-porphyries abatshazwa nguHumboldt futhi akhuphuka yilabo banamuhla, bangofakazi.
Ngamakhilomitha onke lapho i-Amajac encane iqhubekela phambili, uhlanganiswa nabafowabo. Okokuqala, lowo ovela eningizimu, ovela eMineral del Monte, yize kungenzeki ngezikhathi ezithile, lapho lina. Kusuka lapha lapho kuzofakwa khona iMesa de Atotonilco El Grande ukuyiphambukisela entshonalanga, ngaseSigodini SaseSanta María. Ngemuva komfula kukhona ubukhulu obuhlaza okwesibhakabhaka bezintaba ezihlukanisa i-Atotonilco El Grande kusuka eSigodini saseMexico: "Uchungechunge lwezintaba ze-porphyry", njengoba kuchazwe yi-Alejandro de Humboldt engakhathali, lapho amadwala e-limestone namatshe e-slaty sand eziphakanyisiwe komunye nomunye ngamandla okudala emvelo, zibabheka bobabili bephawuleka kakhulu futhi befana nalabo ababonwa ezwenikazi lakudala lapho yazalelwa khona.
Amakhilomitha amathathu enyakatho-ntshonalanga ye-Atotonilco El Grande, eHidalgo, emgwaqweni oya eTampico, uzothola umgwaqo onqamula emgwaqweni owubhuqu, ngakwesobunxele. Izonqamula izingxenyana zokugcina zamathafa asethafeni lapho bese ingena emthambekeni ongaphansi, ezansi kwayo, phambi kwenkundla enhle kakhulu yezintaba ze-porphyry, noma iSierra de El Chico, phakathi kwamagquma aluhlaza, indawo igama lisho ngesiNahuatl "Lapho amanzi ahlukaniswe khona": Santa María Amajac. Ngaphambi kokuqeda ukuhamba kwakho, ungavakashela ama-Atotonilco Baths adumile, aqanjwe ngegama likaHumboldt, okwamanje i-spa esendaweni engezansi kwegquma laseBondotas, elinamanzi ashisayo ageleza ngo-55ºC, enomsakazo onokuqukethwe okuphezulu kwama-sulfates, i-potassium chloride, i-calcium ne-bicarbonate.
I-PLATEAU EFAKIWE
Amakhilomitha ayishumi nantathu ngemuva kokushiya i-Atotonilco, livela osebeni olusenyakatho lomfula, iSanta María Amajac, kumamitha ayi-1 700 ngaphezu kogu lolwandle. Idolobha elilula, elinokuthula, elinesonto elidala elisekelwa yizinsika nezindonga zalo izimpi ezivamile zekhulu le-16. Ku-atrium yayo, amathuna anamathuna afana namamodeli wesikali samathempeli wezitayela ezahlukahlukene zokwakha.
Indlela iqhubeka iye ngasemlonyeni wokuqala womhosha i-Amajac, ilibangise eMesa Doña Ana, amakhilomitha ayi-10 womzila onolaka ophakathi kwamatshe nobhuqu. Ngeke kube yisikhathi eside ngemuva kokuthi ushiye uSanta Maria ngemuva, lapho umhlabathi ukhombisa izimpawu zokuguguleka. Amatshe azobonakala enqunu emisebeni yelanga, aqhekeke, adliwe, aphihlizwe. Uma ungumqoqi wamadwala, uma uthanda ukubuka ukuthungwa kwawo, ukugqama nombala, kule ndawo uzothola okwanele ukuzijabulisa. Uma uqhubeka, uzobona ukuthi umgwaqo ujikela kanjani egqumeni laseFresno futhi uzongena ohlangothini olusenyakatho lomlomo wokuqala omkhulu womhosha. Lapha ukujula, okubalwa kusukela esiqongweni segquma kuze kufike osebeni lomfula, kungamamitha angama-500.
Ethafeni elingena emhosheni, liphoqa ama-Amajac ukuthi enze uhlobo oluthile lokubuya noma ukujika kuka- "U", kuhlala uMesa Doña Ana, kumamitha ayi-1,960 ngaphezu kogu lolwandle, okwaziwa kanjalo ngoba la mazwe ayengawesifazane eminyakeni eminingi edlule UDona Ana Renteria, omunye wabanikazi abakhulu bezindawo kusukela ekuqaleni kwekhulu leshumi nesikhombisa. UDoña Ana wathenga ngoSepthemba 15, 1627 ngaphezu kwamahektha ayizinkulungwane ezingama-25 epulazini laseSan Nicolás Amajac, namuhla elaziwa njengeSan José Zoquital; Kamuva, wengeza empahleni yakhe cishe amahektha angama-9,000 azuzwa ngumyeni wakhe ongasekho, uMiguel Sánchez Caballero.
Kungenzeka ukuthi ukubabazeka kwakhe lapho ecabanga nge-panorama emaphethelweni ethafa, uma eke wavakashela idolobha namuhla elimhloniphayo ngegama lakhe, kuyafana nawe ozozwa ngakho. Ukuphela kokufanele ukwenze ukushiya imoto yakho edolobhaneni bese uwela umzila oyikhilomitha elilodwa ngezinyawo, okungububanzi bethafa.
Uzophuma emasimini ommbila bese ecabanga: "Ngishiye umhosha ebesizulazula nawo endleleni, kodwa lona ovele phambi kwami, uyini?" Uma ubuza umuntu wasendaweni, bazothi: "Yebo, kuyefana." Umfula uzungeze ithafa, njengoba sishilo, ku- "U"; Kepha lapha, kusukela esiqongweni segquma laseLa Ventana, umgcini ovala itafula kusuka enyakatho, kuye ezansi, lapho umfula i-Amajac ugeleza khona, sezivele zingamamitha ayi-900 ukujula futhi laphaya ngaphambili, njengendawo enkulu yamatshe yaseRodas, iDwala IDe la Cruz del Petate inciphisa ukudlula, ishiya amakhilomitha amathathu kuphela phakathi kwezikhumbuzo zombili zemvelo.
Umhlahlandlela okuholela kule ndawo uzothatha ukubuka kwakho aye ngaphesheya komhosha futhi mhlawumbe uzophawula: "Kukhona iBhuloho likaNkulunkulu, ngaseningizimu." Kepha izimbongolo azidingeki ukulayishwa noma yini enjalo. Uzodlulela kolunye uhlangothi uhleli entofontofo yemoto yakho. Uzodinga kuphela isikhathi, ukubekezela futhi, ngaphezu kwakho konke, ilukuluku.
Buyela eSanta María Amajac, dlula e-spa futhi ngokushesha, ukhuphuke, izimfoloko zomgwaqo futhi uzothatha isiqondiso esibheke epulazini laseSanctorum. Ukuwela uMfula i-Amajac nokubona iminyezane ekhalayo osebeni lwayo kuhle impela ukuthatha ikhefu futhi udle okuthile ngenkathi ukhosele emisebeni yelanga lasemini ngaphansi kwezithunzi zabo. Lapha ukushisa kungakhathaza kancane entwasahlobo, njengoba umfula ugijima ngalesi sikhathi kumamitha ayi-1 720 ngaphezu kolwandle. Kunzima ukudabula ifodo phakathi nesikhathi semvula, lapho Amajac esephelele.
IBhuloho LIKAZIMU
Ngemuva kwamakhilomitha ambalwa uzokujabulela ukubukwa okuhle kwesigodi saseSanta María, ngoba indlela izokhuphuka emithambekeni yegquma, elibonakala ngokugqamile kwamatshe alo, libonakala ngokunsomi, bese liphuzi, libomvu, ngamafuphi, ukuzijabulisa okubukwayo.
Ukudlula iSanctorum, amakhilomitha ayisishiyagalombili ngemuva kokuwela uMfula i-Amajac, ekugcineni umgwaqo ungena emhosheni we-canyon. Futhi lapho ngaphambili uzokwazi ukubona umkhondo oshiywe phakathi kwamagquma, njengenyoka, yomunye umgwaqo ababuye ngawo bevela eMesa Doña Ana. Uhamba uzombeza, manje uzungeze udonga lwentaba oluhlukaniswe nezintaba zase-El Chico futhi, lapho ubheka ngaphandle ngakolunye uhlangothi, kuzovela umhosha omusha ocishe ufane nalowo wama-Amajac. Ngeke ube nokunye, ukwakheka kwezwe kuzokuthwebula. Imoto izolalela ukulutheka komgwaqo bese iya ngqo kwalasha. Futhi ukuthi indlela engcono yokuxhumana ayitholakalanga indawo engcono yokuwela umhosha wesibili onjengalona, lapho kugeleza khona umfula iSan Andrés. Ngaphansi kwayo kuzovela uhlobo lwe, plug, plug. Igquma elishumekiwe elisebenzisa kakhulu indlela yokudlula kulo bese libuyela ohlangothini oluphambene lomhosha obheke edolobheni eliseduze lase-Actopan, eliqhele ngamakhilomitha angama-20. Shiya imoto yakho lapho bese wehla ngezinyawo uze ufike emfuleni. Uyomangala ukubona ukuthi ipulagi ayilutho ngaphansi kwebhuloho lemvelo lamatshe, lapho, ngokusebenzisa umhume, ukuwela komfula.
Inganekwane ithi ngesinye isikhathi umpristi wathembisa iNkosi ukuba izehlukanise nomuntu futhi yaya endaweni yebhuloho lemvelo ukuze iphile njengedlozi. Lapho, phakathi kwehlathi, wayedla izithelo nemifino kanye nesilwane esithile ayekwazi ukusibamba. Ngelinye ilanga wezwa ngokumangala ukuthi kukhona omubizayo wabe esebona owesifazane omuhle ngasesangweni lomhume ayehlala kuwo. Ngenkathi ezama ukumsiza, ecabanga ukuthi kungumuntu olahlekile ehlathini, wabona ngokumangala udeveli owayemgcona emhlathini. Ethukile futhi ecabanga ukuthi omubi uyamsukela, wagijima kakhulu, lapho ngokuzumayo wayemi onqenqemeni lwakwalasha omnyama, umhosha womfula iSan Andrés. Wancenga futhi wancenga iNkosi ukuba imsize. Izintaba zabe seziqala ukwelula izingalo zazo zaze zakha ibhuloho lamatshe okwadlula phezu kwalo indoda yenkolo eyayithukile, iqhubeka nendlela yayo ingaziwa kabanzi ngaye. Kusukela lapho, le ndawo yaziwa ngabantu bendawo njengePuente de Dios.

EYA PHANSI
Cishe lapho kuhlangana khona imifula i-Amajac neSan Andrés, nangaseduzane neMesa de Doña Ana, yilapho umhosha uqala khona ukungena kwawo okubukhali nokusika eSierra Madre Oriental. Kusukela manje umfula ngeke usadlula ezigodini ezinjengeSanta María. Amagquma aseduze aya ngokuya eba manzi futhi aya phezulu azovimba indlela bese-ke izobheka imilomo nemihosha okuzokhipha ngayo ukugeleza kwayo. Izokwamukela njengemifula amanzi azure avela esihosheni saseTolantongo nasemgedeni, bese kuba lawo omfowethu omdala, uVenados, okuqukethwe kwakhe kuvela echibini laseMetztitlán. Izophatha inqwaba yamakhulu, amakhulu, izinkulungwane zeminye imifula, inzalo engenakubalwa yenani elikhulu lamachibi anomswakama nenkungu eHuasteca Hidalgo.
Umfula i-Amajac uzobhekana ubuso nobuso ulwa nesiqongo sentaba ngemuva kokuthola amanzi e-Acuatitla. Lokho okubizwa ngokuthi yiCerro del Águila kumi endleleni yakhe futhi kumphoqa ukuba achezukise inkambo yakhe aye ngasenyakatho-ntshonalanga. Intaba iphuma ngaphezu kwamamitha ayi-1 900 ngenhla komfula, okuthi ngaleso sikhathi ishelele ngamamitha angama-700 kuphela. Lapha sinendawo ejulile yomhosha ama-Amajac azohamba ngawo amakhilomitha angama-207 ngaphambi kokungena eThaasteca Plain yasePotosina. Umthambeka wesilinganiso semithambeka ungamaphesenti angama-56, noma cishe ama-degree angama-30. Ibanga eliphakathi kweziqongo eziphambene nhlangothi zombili zomhosha ngamakhilomitha ayisishiyagalolunye. ETamazunchale, eSan Luis Potosí, ama-Amajac azojoyina uMfula iMoctezuma bese kuthi owokugcina, abe yiPánuco enamandla.
Ngaphambi kokufika edolobheni laseChapulhuacán, uzocabanga ukuthi umile phezu kwekamela elikhulu, udlula ngapha nangapha phakathi kwama-humps alo. Izikhathi ezimbalwa ozoba nazo phambi kwamehlo akho, uma inkungu ikuvumela, isihosha soMfula i-Moctezuma, esinye sezindawo ezijule kakhulu ezweni, futhi ngokushesha, ukuze ukumangala kwakho kungatholi ikhefu, kube sengathi umdlalo yenza imilenze yalabo abesaba izindawo eziphakemeyo ithuthumele, bazobe bezulazula kwalasha we-Amajac kanye nomfula wawo ozungezayo njengendwangu kasilika ezacile ezansi. Yomibili le mihosha, amawa amahle kakhulu ahlukanisa uhla lwezintaba, agijima ngokufana aze afike ethafeni, ukububula, konke okunye.
