Silandela ezinyathelweni zikamatilosi omkhulu nozizamelayo uSebastián Vizcaíno, sinqume ukungena ngezimoto ezingama-4x4 kwesinye sezinqolobane ezibanzi emhlabeni futhi esikhulu kunazo zonke eMexico.
Engxenyeni eyikhulu leminyaka ngemuva kokushona kukaHernán Cortés, uSebastián Vizcaíno, isosha elisebenza kahle nolwandle, walibhekisa olwandle ephethe imikhumbi yakhe emithathu eyofuna izinto ezintsha nokutholakele, ngenhloso eyodwa yokunqoba iCalifornias.
UVizcaíno washiya itheku lase-Acapulco walandela umzila waseCortés, ogudla iPacific Ocean waya eCabo San Lucas. Ekugcineni, ngo-Okthoba 1596 wehla eBay of Santa Cruz, eqanjwe ngoHernán Cortés ngoba phakathi nohambo lwakhe wayithola ngoMeyi 3, 1535. Nokho, iVizcaíno yashintsha igama yaba iBahía de la Paz, Lokho akugcinile kuze kube manje, kusukela ekufikeni kwakhe amaNdiya amamukela kahle futhi amnikeza izithelo, onogwaja, izinyosi nezinyamazane.
UVizcaíno wangena eGulf of California, kwathi phakathi nohambo lwakhe kwadingeka abhekane nemisinga eqinile nolukhohlisayo kanye namagagasi oLwandle lwaseCortez. Umoya wasenyakatho-ntshonalanga, ushaya oseyili, ududulela imikhumbi kolunye uhlangothi, wenza inqubekela phambili yaba nzima. Kodwa-ke, kuleso senzakalo wafinyelela ku-27th parallel lapho athola khona ingcebo yasolwandle engapheli: amaparele nezinhlanzi ezanele ukugcwalisa imikhumbi nezikebhe.
Wabe esebuyela eBay of Peace lapho azivuselela khona amandla akhe, washiya amadoda athile agulayo waqhubeka nohambo lwakhe ngasogwini lwePacific Ocean. Ngalesi sikhathi wafinyelela ku-29th parallel, kepha njengoba imikhumbi nabasebenzi babesesimweni esibi kakhulu, kwadingeka abuyele eNew Spain.
Eminyakeni eyalandela, ngokuyalelwa yi-Count of Monterrey, uVizcaíno wathatha uhambo lwakhe lwesibili. Ngalesi sikhathi inhloso bekungekhona ukunqoba umhlaba nokuwenza amakoloni, hhayi ukuthatha ingcebo nokubhekana namaNdiya asenhlonhlweni. Umkhankaso wawungowesayensi ngokwemvelo futhi waqaphela amadoda ahlakaniphile nososayensi njengo-cosmographer u-Enrico Martínez ababamba iqhaza kuwo.
Phakathi nezinyanga eziyisithupha inhloso yesayensi kuzofanele ibheke ukusitheka kwelanga nokuhamba komoya; amahange, amatheku namachweba aqashelwa; amakamu afanele kanye nezindawo zokudoba amaparele; Isimo sendawo sahlaziywa saholwa, kwamakwa iziqhingi, izigqoko, izintaba kanye nanoma yiziphi izingozi ezenzeka phansi ukuze kulungiswe amabalazwe okuqala anemininingwane enhlonhlo okwakuthiwa kuze kube yileso sikhathi kusabhekwa njengesiqhingi. Lolu hambo lwasuka ngomkhumbi lusuka eBahía nase-Isla Magdalena naseMargarita laya eBahía Ballenas nase-Isla Cedros. Umphumela walokhu kuthunywa kwaba yimephu yokuqala enemininingwane yolwandle lwasePacific.
IVizcaíno Biosphere Reserve yiyona enkulu kunazo zonke eMexico; Itholakala esifundeni saseBaja California Sur kumasipala waseMulejé. Ihlanganisa indawo engu-2 546 790 ha, emele ama-77% endawo kamasipala.
Lesi siqiwu sisuka ezintabeni zaseSan Francisco naseSanta Marta siye eziqhingini naseziqhingini ezisePacific Ocean; ihlanganisa ugwadule iVizcaíno, iGuerrero Negro, iOjo de Liebre Lagoon, ithambeka laseCalifornia, iDelgadito Island, iPelícano Islands, iDelgadito Islets, iMalcob Island, iSan Ignacio Island, iSan Roque Island, i-Asunción Island kanye neNatividad Island. Novemba 30, 1988. Ingcebo yomlando, amasiko kanye nemvelo yesifunda iyahlaba umxhwele. Kunemidwebo eyindida yemihume, nayo yonke imfihlakalo yayo, esamele iphazili yangempela.
Sishiya umthunzi kanye nokusha kohlaza lwaseSan Ignacio ukuze singene ogwadule oluyincithakalo. Ngemuva kwedolobha laseVizcaíno siqala uhambo lwethu lomgwaqo ngemigwaqo ewubhuqu ejiyayo ebonakala ngathi ayipheli. Ekukhanyeni amanye amalambu aqala ukuvela futhi ngemuva kwamakhilomitha ambalwa, uphawu lwe-neon olukhanyisile lwacima lwasamukela; Kwakuyi-cabaret yaseBahía Tortugas.
Sahamba edolobheni phakathi kokulandwa kwabantu baseMelika nezindlu zamapulangwe ezidliwe yi-saltpeter, sifuna i-lobster enhle noma i-abalone ethile. Abantu baseNyakatho Pacific bahlala kule mikhiqizo emibili.
Ngakusasa saqhubeka nohambo lwethu oluya ehlane, kodwa hhayi ngaphambi kokudlula endaweni yokulahla inkunkuma etholakala emaphethelweni eBahía Tortugas. Izinsalela zezimoto ezigqwalile, amathayi nezinsalela zezilwane ezinkulu eziphila ezweni nasemanzini zanikeza isithombe sesikhathi esizayo sokulahlwa nencithakalo. Sifikile ekugcineni kwegebe: besisePunta Eugenia, inani lama-lobster kanye nezihlahla ze-abalone ezisenyakatho-ntshonalanga enkulu yesikhala somhlaba esakha eningizimu-mpumalanga yogu lolwandle iBahía de Sebastián Vizcaíno. Kusukela kuleli qophelo saya olwandle ngesikebhe sokudoba futhi sakwazi ukucabanga nge-sargassum enkulu ehlala olwandle. Inhloso yethu kwakuwukwazi izilwane eziqhingini; izilwane ezincelisayo zasolwandle ezifana namabhubesi asolwandle nezindlovu kanye namakhulu amadada, ama-cormorants nama-pelican. Ngezinsuku esasilapho sasikwazi ukucabanga ukuthi uSebastián Vizcaíno wazizwa kanjani lapho ecabanga ngobuhle obungaka kuleyo ndawo enhle. Esikwaziyo manje njengeVizcaíno Reserve yigugu lomhlaba, hhayi elezinkampani zaseJapan kanye ne-vivillo ngezikhathi ezithile, futhi kungumsebenzi wamadoda ukuthi alihloniphe, alivikele futhi alilondoloze.
