Cañón de la Servilleta, m'boma la Tamaulipas, ndi malo omwe mtsinje wa Boquillas kapena Comandante umadutsa Sierra de Cucharas molowera kum'mawa, mpaka kukafika ku chigwa komwe amalumikizana ndi mtsinje wa Frío, womwe mtsinje wa Guayalejo.
Ndiwotalika pafupifupi 2.5 km ndipo makoma ake amafika, m'malo ena, kutalika kwa 120 m (panthawiyi, mapiri ali ndi kutalika kwa 220 mita pamwamba pa nyanja). Malowa amalimbikitsa woyenda wofunitsitsa kudziwa momwe zachilengedwe zilili m'derali, kuti achite zinthu zina monga kusambira m'madzi odekha komanso otsitsimula amtsinje nthawi yachilimwe, akuyang'ana m'mapanga kumpoto chakum'mawa kwa canyon ndikuyenda kumtunda, mkati komwe titha kudziwa pagombe lamatope, mayendedwe aposachedwa a raccoon, badger kapena feline omwe adabwera kudzathetsa ludzu lawo. Mizimu yoyeserera kwambiri imatha kuwoloka mtsinjewu mumdengu wamagalimoto omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito munthawi yamvula, ndikusangalala ndi malo okongola omwe amakhala pamalo okwezekawa, ndipo alendo omwe ali ndi nkhawa pazakufukula zakale amatha kudziwa milu opezeka pagombe lamanja la mtsinjewu, kutsika kwa mtsinjewo, kumene kuli zotsalira zamapulatifomu ochokera kumudzi wakale.
Phiri ili la Sierra Madre Oriental limadziwika kuti Sierra del Abra-Tanchipa m'chigawo cha Huasteca m'chigawo choyandikana cha San Luis Potosí.
Komabe, chikhalidwe chomwe chimapangitsa malowa kukhala osangalatsa ndichakuti ndiwowona pazakale zakale.
MBONI ZA KALE
Tikamayenda m'mbali mwa gombe lakumanzere la mtsinjewu, wopangidwa ndi miyala yoyera yoyala, timakopeka ndi ziwonetsero zingapo zomwe zimwazikana pansi pamiyendo yathu, zomwe zimawoneka kuti zidapangidwa ndi manja akhakula a wojambula wakale. Kodi tili ndi chiyani pamaso pathu? Ziwerengero zachilendozi ndizomwe zimadziwika kuti mafupa, ndipo sizongokhala zidutswa za nyama zojambulidwa kapena zomera zomwe zimapezeka m'malo osiyanasiyana akale, Mamiliyoni a zaka zapitazo, zamoyozi, zikafa, zidakwiriridwa pansi - matope, mchenga kapena dongo - zomwe zochita za anthu osiyanasiyana zidasinthidwa kukhala miyala. Miyala iyi ikuwululidwa pakadali pano chifukwa cha kusintha kwakapangidwe kake ndi kukokoloka kwa nthaka komwe kwakhala kukukuntha kwanthawi yayitali. Tikayang'anitsitsa zamoyozi, zomwe mapangidwe ake amafotokozedwa momveka bwino m'miyala yowonekera ya canyon, timadabwa kuzindikira kuti ndizochokera m'madzi! Makilomita 150 kuchokera kunyanja? Chifukwa chiyani?
Chiyambi ndi Kukhazikitsidwa kwa SIERRA DE CUCHARAS
Malinga ndi zomwe atolera ndikufalitsa ndi INEGI, miyala yamiyala yamiyala yam'madzi yomwe imapanga malo ambiri m'chigawo cha Tamaulipas idapangidwa pomwe Atlantic idakwaniritsa dera lino mdziko la Mesozoic, pafupifupi zaka 230 miliyoni zapitazo. wazaka. Kumapeto kwa nyengo ya Cretaceous - mwina zaka 80 miliyoni zapitazo - ndi kuyamba kwa Tertiary - 50 miliyoni zaka zapitazo - njira yolembera idachitika yomwe idakhudza miyala ya Mesozoic sedimentary powapukuta ndikuwasuntha, zomwe zidapangitsa kukweza kwa Sierra Madre Kum'mawa, ndichifukwa chake timapeza zotsalira zam'nyanja zam'madzi zomwe zimakhala m'nyanja zamakedzana m'miyala ya canyon, m'mphepete mwa mitsinje ndi migodi m'derali.
M'buku lake losangalatsa la La Huasteca Tamaulipeca, a Joaquín Meade akutiuza kuti ku Sierra de Cucharas miyala yamiyala ya Tamasopo, yolemera kwambiri zakale, ndiyam'munsi kwambiri pa Cretaceous, ngakhale kuli miyala ina yamwala wapamtunda wa San Felipe yam'zaka zaposachedwa, Maphunziro apamwamba, omwe amakhala ndi zotsalira zazinyama, monga mano ndi mano. Monga chidziwitso chowonjezera, ndingatsimikizire kuti ndapeza zotsalira zam'madzi zotalika mita 1,000 pamwamba pa nyanja mu "El Cielo" Biosphere Reserve; Umboni wowoneka bwino wa izi ndi miyala ikuluikulu yomwe imadzuka modzikweza pagombe lamanja la mseu watsopano womwe umachokera ku Gómez Farías kupita ku Alta Cima, pafupifupi theka la njirayo, yomwe pamwamba pake yaphimbidwa ndi zotsalira zambiri za zamoyozi. Ndinajambulanso zinthu zakale zokwana masauzande ambiri zomwe zimasunga kapangidwe kake koyambirira, ndipo zomwe zimaperekedwa kwa ine ndi osonkhanitsa achinsinsi omwe adazipeza mdera lino la sierra zaka zingapo zapitazo.
MAFUNSO
Tsoka ilo, tsambali silinapulumutsidweko kuposa munthu; Anthu ena, pogwiritsa ntchito mwala ndi chisel, achotsa zitsanzo zokongola komanso zosangalatsa za moyo wakale ku miyala yamiyala, ndikusiya dzenje, loperewera pofufuza zam'mbuyomu monga cholowa cha mibadwo yamtsogolo. Chotsalira chilichonse, ngakhale chofala kwambiri, chimafotokoza nkhani yosangalatsa yokhudza kusintha kwa dziko lapansi ndi momwe moyo umapangidwira; zimatipatsa chidziwitso ku geography ndi zachilengedwe zam'mbuyomu ndikutiwonetsa momwe nyanja ndi makontinenti zasinthira. Miyala yamiyala yam'madzi imafutukuka ngati masamba a buku lalikulu, kuwulula mbiri yosangalatsa ya dziko lathuli. Bwerani, dziwani ndi kulemekeza Napkin Canyon, nyumba yosungiramo zinthu zakale ndi "zenera" komwe chilengedwe chatipatsa mwayi wowonera malotowo chakuya ndi chamuyaya cha nthawi.
NGATI MUPITA KU NAPKIN BARREL
Kuchoka ku Ciudad Mante, Tamaulipas, tengani msewu waukulu wapadziko lonse ayi. 85 zomwe zimatifikitsa ku Ciudad Victoria; Pambuyo pa 14 km, ndikudutsa tawuni ya El Limón, tengani njira yakumanzere yolowera ku Ocampo. Kuchokera pano mukuyenda makilomita 12, ndipo musanakwere ku Sierra de Cucharas, pamalo okwerera basi "El Papalote", timakhotera kumanzere ndikudutsa mtunda wokutira makilomita angapo mpaka titafika ku ejido "El Riachuelo", yomwe ili kumunsi kwa Sierra. Kuchokera pamalo omalizawa, mumayenda chakumwera m'njira yotalika pafupifupi 850 m, mpaka mukawone Mtsinje wa Comandante ndi kotuluka chakum'mawa kwa canyon, komwe kumachezeredwa mwachizolowezi.
Tsambali lilibe ntchito, koma mutha kuwapeza ku Ciudad Mante, 28 km kutali. Ndikulangiza kuti ndiyendere malowa mwezi wa Marichi, Epulo ndi Meyi, chifukwa ndi omwe amauma kwambiri mchaka, popeza nthawi yamvula msinje umakwera kwambiri, madzi amakhala amvula komanso matope, zomwe zimapangitsa kuti zisayende pansi pa canyon kapena kuchita kusambira; Ndikofunikanso, m'miyeziyi, kuvala zovala zoyenera nyengo yotentha komanso nsapato zoyenera kukayenda.
