Kunencwajana engandile ebhalwe ngo-1868 ngumdwebi wase-Italy u-Eugenio Landesio: Ukuhambela emgedeni waseCacahuamilpa nokukhuphukela emgodini wasePopocatépetl. Ushone eParis ngo-1879.
Eqeqeshwe eRome, uLandesio wayenabafundi abasebasha ababezolingana naye kanti abanye bazomdlula. Vele, uJosé María Velasco.
Ukuvakashela emihumeni yaseCacahuamilpa, uLandesio nabangane bakhe bathatha inkuthalo eyanikela ngosizo olusuka enhlokodolobha laya eCuernavaca futhi ukusuka lapho baqhubeka begibele amahhashi: kaNativitas kanye neHacienda de los Portales; Ngemuva komfula iChurubusco, esathola ukuthi womile ngokuphelele, sawela amadolobha aleli gama. Ngemuva kwalokho sishiya indlela eqondile, bese sishaja ngakwesobunxele, sidlula phambi kwezigodi zaseSan Antonio naseCoapa. Sibe sesiwela ibhuloho eliphansi kakhulu, sadlula umfula iTlalpan, futhi ngokushesha safika eTepepan, lapho sashintsha khona amahhashi sathola isidlo sasekuseni ”.
Emihumeni yaseCacahuamilpa, abakhombisi babekhuphuka lapha nalaphaya, emaphethelweni anzima alezo zindonga njengezicabucabu, begqekeza futhi begcina amakhonkolo, ukusithengisela wona lapho sihamba ... Okuncane engikuhambile kuyathakazelisa kakhulu, ngokuba ama-stalactites alenga kuma-vault akha izicabucabu ezinhle zohlobo oluhlukahlukene nolungenazwela; abanye, baphakamisa izindonga ngemidwebo ewubukhazikhazi, banikeza imibono ngeziqu nezimpande, kwesinye isikhathi ezihlangana ndawonye zenze umzimba ofanayo nama-stalagmites. Kwesinye isigaba, kuvela ama-stalagmite amakhulu alingisa imibhoshongo, imibhoshongo kanye nezigaxa, konke okwenziwe ngemabula emhlophe; kweminye imifekethiso ephakamisa phansi; ukulingisa kwabanye iziqu zemithi nezitshalo ezinomuthi; kwabanye, basethula ngamamodeli wezibani "
“Bese ufika eHholo Labafileyo, ogama lakhe lanikezwa ngoba isidumbu somuntu onqunu ngokuphelele satholwa lapho, nesenja yakhe eduze kwakhe; futhi baqinisekisa ukuthi njengoba esewaqedile wonke amazembe akhe, usashisa izingubo zakhe ukuze athole ukukhanya okwengeziwe futhi aphume emgedeni; kodwa kwakunganele. Kungaba yini izifiso zakho? Wayeyisisulu sobumnyama.
Njengasethempelini laseLuxor e-Upper Egypt, kulesi sigcawu semvelo izivakashi zamasiginesha zavela, ezinye zazidumile: “Ubumnyama bezindonga abukho phezulu, buyi-smudge, ababejwayele ukukubhala, bezinwaya ngechopho insingo, amagama amaningi, phakathi kwawo ngathola lawo abangani bami uVilar noClavé. Ngithole nokuthi iNdlovukazi uCarlota nabanye. "
Emuva eMexico City, uLandesio nalabo ayehamba nabo baphinde bathatha isitilogi esivela eCuernavaca baya enhloko-dolobha, kodwa baphangwa ngaphambi nje kukaTopilejo, belahlekelwa amawashi nemali yabo.
Ohambweni oluya ePopocatepetl, iLandesio yahamba ngesikebhe esivela eMexico iya e-Amecameca, isuka ekuseni ngovivi emzileni weSan Antonio Abad nase-Iztapalapa; amanye amalungu eqembu aqala ubusuku obungaphambi kweSan Lázaro aya eChalco, lapho ayezofika khona ekuseni. Bonke babuthene e-Amecameca, ukusuka lapho bakhuphuka begibele amahhashi baya eTlamacas.
Ngezikhathi ezahlukahlukene, isibabule esivela emgodini wentaba iPopocatépetl sisetshenziselwe ukukhiqiza ugesi wezifo nezinye izinto ezisetshenziswa ezimbonini. Ngesikhathi iLandesio ikhona, abaninimvume balokho kuxhashazwa esasingakubiza ngezimayini kwakungabazalwane baseCorchados. "Abasebenzi besibabule" - imvamisa abomdabu - bangena emgodini bakhipha ikhemikhali elibaluleke ngewinji emlonyeni, base behlisa ngamasaka baya eTlamacas, lapho bakunikeza khona inqubo encane. Lapho, “elinye lala maqhugwane lisetshenziselwa ukuncibilikisa isibabule bese lisinciphisa libe izinkwa ezinkulu eziyisikwele zokuhweba. Lezi ezinye ezimbili zezitebele zokuhlala nokuphila ”.
ILandesio nayo bekufanele ibone omunye umsebenzi oyingqayizivele wezomnotho: ithole ezinye "izinkundla zeqhwa" zehla zisuka e-Iztaccíhuatl zinamabhulokhi eqhwa asongwe ngotshani namasaka, elayishwe iminyuzi, ebenza bakwazi ukujabulela iqhwa neziphuzo ezibandayo eMexico City. Kwenziwa into efanayo ePico de Orizaba ukuphakela amadolobha amakhulu aseVeracruz. “Isanti yaseVentorrillo iqukethe izintambo noma izitebhisi zedwala le-porphyritic, elibonakala lehla liqonde ngqo eceleni komhosha, ngaphansi kwawo athi kunenqwaba yamathambo ezilwane, ikakhulukazi iminyuzi, okuthi, ngokwalokho engitsheliwe, kudlule lapho nsuku zonke, ziqhutshwa yizinkundla zeqhwa, ezivame ukusunduzelwa ngaphandle kwamawa yiziqubu ”.
Ekukhuphukeni kwabagibeli bezintaba, akuyona yonke into eyayiyimidlalo. “Ngangikhohliwe ukuthi: njengoba cishe wonke umuntu okhuphuke intaba-mlilo esho futhi eqinisekisa ukuthi utshwala obunamandla kakhulu bungaphuzwa lapho njengamanzi, ngakho-ke sonke sanikezwa ibhodlela le-brandy. UMnuz de Ameca ojabule kakhulu ubeze namawolintshi, ugologo, ushukela nezinye izinkomishi; wenza uhlobo oluthile lotshwala oludakiwe futhi lubizwa ngokuthi i-tecuí, olunamandla kakhulu futhi oluyi-tonic, olwalunambitha thina kuleyo ndawo ”.
Imishini efaneleke kakhulu ibingatholakali njalo, njengezipikha: “Saya e-volcano; Kodwa ngaphambi kokuthi sisonge izicathulo ngentambo emahhadla, ukuze ikwazi ukubambelela ingasheleli eqhweni ”.
ILandesio yadweba umgodi wePopocatepetl, eyayizowupenda kamuva emafutheni; lokhu wabhala ngokubona: “Ngibanjwe kakhulu futhi ngacishe ngilele phansi ngabona phansi kwalowo kwalasha; Kwakunalo uhlobo lwe-cauldron eyisiyingi noma ichibi, okwathi, ngenxa yobukhulu nokuhleleka okufanayo kwamadwala akha umphetho walo, kwabonakala sengathi kuyinto yokufakelwa kimi; kulokhu, kokubili ngenxa yombala wento nangenxa yomusi ophume kuyo, kwakukhona isibabule esibilayo. Kusuka kuleli kholomu kwaphakama intambo eminyene kakhulu yomusi omhlophe futhi ngamandla amakhulu, afinyelela cishe kwengxenye yesithathu yokuphakama komgodi, yasakazeka yahlakazeka. Yayinamadwala amade futhi angenazinhlangothi nhlangothi zombili akhombisa ukuthi ahlukunyezwa isenzo somlilo esinodlame, njengaleso seqhwa: futhi empeleni, imiphumela ye-plutonic ne-algent yafundwa kuyo; ngakolunye uhlangothi i-vitrification nentuthu ephuma emifantwini yayo, ngakolunye uhlangothi, iqhwa elingapheli; njengaleyo engakwesokudla sami, okwathi, ngesikhathi esifanayo ukuthi ibhemela ngakolunye uhlangothi, ilenga kolunye, iqhwa elikhulu futhi elihle: phakathi kwalo nedwala kwakukhona isikhala esasibukeka njengekamelo, igumbi, kodwa lemikhovu noma lamadimoni. Lawo matshe ngesimo sawo esiwubukhazikhazi ayenokuthile kwamathoyizi, kodwa amathoyizi odeveli, aphonswe esihogweni.
“Kodwa angishongo ku-akhawunti yami ukuthi ngibone isiphepho ngaphansi kwezinyawo zami. Isono! Eqinisweni, kufanele kube yinhle kakhulu, ihehe kakhulu, ukubheka ngaphansi ezintweni ezithukuthele; ukuhamba ngokushesha, okuphukile, okubi kunakho konke emkhathini, i-ray; futhi ngenkathi lokhu, imvula, isichotho nomoya kuhlasela ngamandla abo onke nodlame endaweni engaphansi; ngenkathi kukhona wonke umsindo, ukwesaba nokwesaba, ukuba yisibukeli somzimba futhi ujabulele usuku oluhle kakhulu! Angikaze ngibe nenjabulo engaka futhi angilindele ukuba nayo ”.
