Yelapa ndi malo akumwamba. Nditakumana naye, ndidamvetsetsa chifukwa chomwe alendo ena amapita tsiku limodzi, ndikuganiza zokhala zaka zingapo.
Tinafika ku Puerto Vallarta m'mawa wina dzuwa litalowa. Ili m'chigawo cha Jalisco, pagombe la Pacific, Puerto Vallarta ndi malo oyenera kukaona alendo. Kumbali ina ya tawuniyi, ku Playa de los Muertos yotchuka - komwe kumadziwika kuti Playa del Sol-, kuli malo ojambulira komwe mabwato ndi ma pangas amakwera kuti, tsiku lonse, amabwera ndikudutsa pakati pa doko ndi Yelapa. Muthanso kusiya phula la Rosita, lakale kwambiri pamalopo, koyambirira kwa boardwalk; kapena kuchokera ku Boca de Tomatlán, mphindi khumi ndi zisanu pagalimoto mumsewu waukulu wa Barra de Navidad. Pomwepo, msewu umalowera kuphiri, ndiye njira yokhayo yopitira ku Yelapa ndi bwato.
Panga yomwe tidakwera idadzazidwa pamwamba; m'modzi yekha mwa omwe adakwera adanyamula mabokosi angapo azakudya, galu wopunduka, ngakhale makwerero! Tinayenda theka la ola kumwera; tidayima ku Los Arcos, miyala yachilengedwe yopitilira 20 mita, yomwe yakhala chizindikiro cha Puerto Vallarta. Pakati pa ma tunnel kapena "arches", malo opumira m'madzi amakhalapo pomwe anthu amathira ndikudumphira pansi. Kumeneku, tidatenga makalata omwe adabwera mu bwato lina ndipo tidapitiliza kuyenda tisanayende m'mapiri omwe amalowetsedwa munyanja. Tinaimanso kamodzinso, ku Quimixto cove; kenako ku Playa de las Ánimas, ndi mchenga woyera, komwe kumapezeka nyumba ziwiri zokha. Tinapitiliza ulendowu, titatsitsimutsidwa ndi mowa wozizira, ndipo pamapeto pake tinalowa m'mbali yaying'ono kumapeto kwenikweni kwa Bay of Banderas.
Kanemayo akuwoneka bwino. Poyang'anizana ndi nyanja ya aquamarine, yomwe ili pakati pa mapiri, ili ndi mudzi, womwe uli ndi mapalapas ozunguliridwa ndi mitengo ya kanjedza komanso nkhalango zobiriwira. Kuphatikiza apo, mathithi amadzi owoneka bwino amawunikira buluu wake kumtunda wobiriwira. Zochitikazo zikuwoneka kuti zachokera kuzilumba za Polynesian. Yelapa ali ndi mzimu wa bohemian. Nzika zake zochezeka zimawonetsa, mwachidwi komanso mwachikondi, zodabwitsa zomwe zikuzungulira anthu. Pamodzi ndi Jeff Elíes, tinapita ku Yelapa kuchokera kumapeto mpaka kumapeto. Kuphatikiza apo, adatiitanira kunyumba kwake, yomwe ili pamwamba pa phiri.
Mwambiri, kudenga kwapamwamba kumagwiritsidwa ntchito, zomangamanga zimakhala ndi mawonekedwe amakona anayi, ndipo palibe makoma omwe amakulepheretsani kusangalala ndi mawonekedwe. Palibe makiyi, chifukwa pafupifupi nyumba iliyonse ilibe chitseko. Mpaka posachedwapa, nyumba zambiri zinali ndi udzu. Tsopano, kuti tipewe zinkhanira, anthu akumaloko aphatikiza matailosi ndi simenti. Chosavuta ndichakuti nthawi yachilimwe nyumba zawo zimakhala mauvuni enieni, popeza kamphepo kayaziyazi kamayenda chimodzimodzi. Alendo amasunga palapas yoyambirira. Anthu alibe magetsi, ngakhale nyumba zina zimagwiritsa ntchito kuwala kwa dzuwa; malo odyera anayi amaunikira chakudya chamadzulo ndi makandulo; ndipo, usiku, anthu amayatsa njira ndi matochi -zimene zili chida chofunikira-, popeza zonse zamira mumdima.
Yelapa amatanthauza "Malo omwe madzi amakumana kapena kusefukira." Chiyambi cha mawuwa ndi Purépecha, chilankhulo chamtunduwu chomwe chimalankhulidwa makamaka ku Michoacán. Chidwi ndi komwe malowa adachokera, Tomás del Solar adatifotokozera kuti mbiri ya Yelapa sinaphunzirepo pang'ono. Midzi yake yoyamba idayamba kale ku Spain. Umboni wa izi ndi zomwe zapezeka, paphiri mtawuniyi, pazinthu zadothi, zikhalidwe zomwe zidakula kumadzulo: mivi, mivi ya obsidian ndi petroglyphs zoyimira ziwerengero za anthu. Komanso, pamene anali kukumba chitsime, nkhwangwa yosemedwa pamwala idapezeka posachedwa, yokalamba kwambiri komanso yoyenda bwino.
Kale munthawi ya atsamunda, mbiri yoyamba yodalirika yopezeka ku Bay idayamba mchaka cha 1523, pomwe a Francisco Cortés de San Buenaventura - mphwake wa Hernán Cortés-, adakhudza magombewa popita ku Colima, komwe adasankhidwa kukhala lieutenant wa kazembe. Pambuyo pake, mu 1652, mlaliki wa ku Franciscan Fray Antonio Tello, wolemba mbiri waku Dominican, adatchulapo malowa m'mbiri yake ya Chronicle ... ya Santa Providencia de Xalisco ... pomwe amafotokoza zakulanda Kumadzulo motsogozedwa ndi Nuño de Guzmán.
Chiwerengero cha anthu aku Yelapa pafupifupi anthu chikwi chimodzi; mwa iwo pafupifupi makumi anayi ndi alendo. M'nyengo yozizira, chiwerengerochi chimasinthasintha, chifukwa cha zokopa alendo zomwe zimabwera makamaka kuchokera ku Canada ndi United States. Kuphatikiza apo, chaka chilichonse, anthu pafupifupi 200 amabwera kudzafuna nyengo yabwino ndikukhala nyengo zomwe nthawi zambiri zimakhala mpaka nthawi yotentha. Ana ambiri amasangalatsa mudziwo. Nthawi zambiri amagwira ntchito ngati "owongolera maulendo". Mabanja ambiri ndi akulu, ali ndi ana anayi mpaka asanu ndi atatu, kotero kuti 65 peresenti ya anthu ali ndi ana azaka zopita kusukulu ndi achinyamata. Tawuniyi ili ndi sukulu yomwe imapereka sukulu yakusukulu kudzera kusekondale.
Ku Yelapa kuli akatswiri ambiri ojambula, ojambula, osema ziboliboli, olemba ndi opanga makanema omwe amayamikira kukhudzana kwachilengedwe ndi bata ndi moyo wosalira zambiri. Kumeneku amakonda kusangalala ndi nyenyezi, kulibe magetsi, kulira mafoni, kulira kwa magalimoto, mpweya woipitsidwa ndi mafakitale. Amakhala kutali ndi dziko lapansi, kunja kwa anthu ogula, ndi jenereta yabwino yachilengedwe yopezera mphamvu zamoyo.
Kubwera, nyengo yabwino kwambiri ili pakati pa Seputembara ndi Okutobala, pomwe chinyezi chimachepa. Kuphatikiza apo, kuyambira Disembala mutha kusangalala ndi chiwonetserochi chomwe chimaperekedwa ndi anamgumi amtundu wa humpback, kuyimba ndi kudumpha pagombe. Yelapa ndioyenera kumanga msasa, kuyenda, kuyang'ana kumtunda, kulowa m'nkhalango, kuyendera mathithi, kapena kukwera bwato kuti "mupeze" magombe obisika. Hotelo ya Lagunita ili ndi zipinda makumi atatu zapadera; ngakhale ndizotheka kubwereka nyumba, kapena chipinda chokha.
M'mphepete mwa nyanja muli ma palapas khumi ndi awiri pomwe, pakati pa zakudya zina, amapatsa nsomba zokoma kwambiri, kapena mbale yokoma komanso yochititsa chidwi yokhala ndi nsomba zatsopano. Kuyambira Novembala mpaka Meyi kusodza kumakhala kochuluka komanso kosiyanasiyana: safishfish, marlin, dorado ndi tuna; chaka chonse sawfish ndi red snapper zimapezeka. Madzi amapezeka m'chigawo chonsechi. Kuphatikiza pa nyanja, Yelapa ili ndi mitsinje iwiri, Tuito ndi Yelapa, omwe malo awo otsetsereka amatha kugwiritsa ntchito mitsinje yawo chifukwa cha mphamvu yokoka. Mtsinje wa Yelapa, wopitilira 30 mita kutalika, uli pamtunda woyenda mphindi 15 kuchokera pagombe.
Mukayenda mtunda wautali komanso wolemera pafupifupi ola limodzi, munjira yopapatiza pakati pa nkhalango, mudzafika pa mathithi ena okwera mamita 4, omwe amakupatsani mwayi wosamba ndikusangalala ndi kutsitsimuka kwake. Mutayenda kwa mphindi 45, mutadutsa mtsinje wa Tuito kangapo, mukafika ku El Salto, mathithi okwera mita 10. Ola limodzi loyenda, kudzera muudzu wobiriwira, limatsogolera ku mathithi a El Berenjenal, omwe amadziwikanso kuti La Catedral, omwe mtsinje wake wokongola umafika mamita 35. Komanso pali mathithi amtsinje wa Calderas, womwe umaposa mita 30 kutalika. Kuti mufike kumeneko, zimatenga pafupifupi maola atatu ndi theka kuchokera pagombe. Malo ena abwino, ngakhale okopa msasa, ndi Playa Larga, woyenda ma ola awiri ndi theka.
M'mbuyomu, anthu ammudzi ankakhala m'minda ya nthochi ndi copra ya coquillo, kuti apange mafuta ndi sopo. Khofi ndi chingamu chachilengedwe nawonso amalimidwa, mtengo womwe umakula mopitilira muyeso, ngakhale kuti mankhwalawa asinthidwa ndi mafakitale. Zipatso zodziwika bwino m'derali ndi nthochi, kokonati, papaya, lalanje ndi zipatso zamphesa. Pomaliza, monga chikumbutso cha Yelapa, amisiri amagulitsa otanzincirán rosewood ntchito: mbale, mbale za saladi, mabasiketi, ma roller ndi zina zotembenuzidwa.
NGATI MUPITA KU YELAPA
