ICampeche ngokwesiko ibizwa ngokuthi yi-Mysterious City, ngoba ngaphansi kwezisekelo zayo kunemigede nemipheme engaphansi komhlaba okungenzeka ukuthi esikhathini esedlule sasetshenziswa njengesiphephelo nendawo yokuphuma efihliwe ukubalekela abaphangi ababeyiphanga njalo ngekhulu le-16 nele-17.

Ohambweni lwakamuva oluvela eMexico olungaziwa sahlola izinhlobonhlobo zezinhlobonhlobo zenhlonhlo yaseYucatan lapho kulinganiselwa ukuthi zingaphezu kwezi-7,000, ipharadesi eliyingqayizivele lokuzijabulisa nokutholwa.
Sijabule ukuqala lolu hambo, silungisa imishini yamabhayisikili asezintabeni bese siya edolobheni elincane laseMiguel Colorado elisendaweni engama-65 km ukusuka enhlokodolobha kanye ne-15 km ukusuka e-Escárcega. Isimo sendawo asikona okwezintaba, kodwa-ke kunomvuzo omkhulu wokuntweza ehlathini elicinene.
EMiguel Colorado basamukela ngomusa omkhulu futhi uJosé, umqondisi wethu, wajoyina iqembu elihamba izintaba. Ehholo lamachibi eligugile, uPablo Mex Mato, obesehlola izwe iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-15, wakhipha amamephu wasikhombisa lapho kwakukhona khona ama-cenotes kanye nomzila wokuhamba ngezinyawo phakathi komunye nomunye wabo.
UCENOTE OLUHLAZA
Ngaso sonke isikhathi sihamba ngebhayisikili, sasihamba ngendlela enodaka namatshe eyayisidlulisa emasimini atshaliwe namadlelo bese singena ehlathini; ngemuva kwamakhilomitha ama-5 sashiya ibhayisikili saqala ukuhamba endleleni, lapho sasibona khona isibuko samanzi esihle seCenote Azul. Ukuma kwezwe kuyathakazelisa, umzimba wamanzi uzungezwe izindonga zamadwala amakhulu ama-85 m ukuphakama, embozwe yihlathi nezihlahla ezibonakala emanzini; I-cenote ububanzi ngu-250 m, lapho ungabhukuda khona, ngoba indlela ifinyelela ogwini.
Ama-cenotes ayisiphephelo semvelo sezimila nezilwane, ikakhulukazi ngenkathi eyomile, njengoba kungukuphela komthombo wamanzi ezinhlotsheni ezihlala endaweni ezungezile.
Embhedeni we-cenote bukhoma ama-mojarras ebhendi emnyama nohlobo oluncane lwe-oyster, intandokazi yabantu bendawo. Ama-cenotes aseCampeche awanazo izingqalasizinda njengalezo zaseYucatán neQuintana Roo, ngoba ziyizindawo eziqhelile nezisendle, ezifihlwe otshanini behlathi lapho kungcono khona ukuphelezelwa yimihlahlandlela eyaziyo le ndawo.
UMBONO WAMADODA
Sisuka eCenote Azul saqhubeka nokuhamba, sinyuka amagquma asizungezile, ngenkathi uJosé, umqondisi wethu, edabula ehlathini ngocelemba wakhe. I-jungle canopy enhle yakhiwe yizinhlobo eziningi zezitshalo kanti ezinye zezihlahla ziyikhaya lemindeni eyahlukahlukene yama-bromeliads nama-orchid.
Ngemuva kokuhamba amamitha angama-400 sifika eCenote de los Patos ehlaba umxhwele, lapho iningi lalezi zinyoni zihlala khona, njengePatillo pijiji engowokuzalwa esifundeni nezinhlobo ezimbili ezifudukayo ezifana neThe Teal kanye neMoscovich Duck, ezafika lahlala leli cenote ekhaya.
ICenote de los Patos inobubanzi obungu-200 m futhi okuwukuphela kwendlela yokufika emanzini kungaba ukukhumbula kabusha; Kuze kube manje akekho noyedwa owehlele ezansi njengoba kunezixuku ezinkulu zezinyosi zase-Afrika ezindongeni, okungaba yingozi enkulu uma ufuna ukwehla.
Awukho umlando wokuthi ngubani owathola lawa ma-cenotes, cishe ayishumi ayaziwa endaweni. Kuyaziwa ukuthi bekungamanzi ngesikhathi sokuxhashazwa kwesikhumba kanye nesikhukhula sokugawulwa kombuso. Babuye babuye batholwa ngesikhathi kufakwa ujantshi. Kuningi okusamele kubhekwe futhi kuseshwe ukuxhumana komhlaba, umsebenzi obekelwe abatshuzi bemhume.
Uma sesiqedile ukuhamba sibuyela emabhayisikili bese sibuyela emuva eMiguel Colorado. Leli dolobha eminyakeni engu-15 eyedlule lanikezelwa ekukhipheni ushungamu, namuhla kuphela abanye abaqhubeka nalokhu kuhweba, iningi labo linikezelwe ekwakhiweni kwabalele ukugcina ithrekhi yezitimela ezithwala impahla.
CENOTE K41
Safika kwaJosé, lapho umkakhe uNorma wasimemela khona ukuba sidle imvukuzane yenkukhu ephelezelwa ama-tortilla amnandi enziwe ngezandla.
Lapho sesibuyile amandla ethu, sabuyela emabhayisikili sahambahamba amakhilomitha nohhafu emnyango womgwaqo owawusisa eCenote K41, eqanjwe ukutholakala onqenqemeni lwesitimela ku-km 41.
ICenote K41 ngokungangabazeki iyinto eheha kakhulu endaweni, ifihlwe ehlathini futhi ukuze kuthathwe izithombe kwakudingeka ukusika amagatsha amaningi ngocelemba.
Ukujula kwe-K41 kuyahlaba umxhwele, inamamitha acishe abe yi-115 wamabhola amile futhi ayizintombi nto, aqashwe yizinkumbi zezinyosi zase-Afrika. Kodwa okuhle kakhulu kwakusazoqalwa, ngabo-7: 00 kusihlwa. saba nethuba lokujabulela umbukwane oyingqayizivele wemvelo. Ngaphakathi egumbini elingaphansi kwaqala ukuzwakala okuxakile futhi phambi kwamehlo ethu ifu elijiyile eliqhamukayo lavela lingakhanyiswanga ukukhanya kwelanga, kwakungamalulwane, izinkulungwane nezinkulungwane ezaziphuma zakha ikholamu enhle, kubo kwase kuyisikhathi sokudla. Imizuzu eyi-10 simangazwe yilombukwane onje, bacishe bashayisana nathi, kuzwakala kuphela ukukhala nokushaya phezulu.
Endleleni ebuyela eMiguel Colorado sahamba ngebhayisikili, sakhanyisa indlela ngesibani. Kumalulwane ubusuku baqala futhi kithina usuku oluhle lokuzijabulisa endaweni yasendle yaseCampeche lwaphela.
