Mu 1943 tawuni ya San Juan adayikidwa m'manda ndi chiphalaphala cha Paricutín, chiphalaphala chaching'ono kwambiri padziko lapansi. Kodi mumamudziwa?
Ndili mwana ndinayamba kumva nkhani zokhudza kubadwa kwa phiri pakati pa munda wa chimanga; kuchokera kuphulika komwe kudawononga tawuni ya San Juan (tsopano San Juan Quemado), komanso kuchokera phulusa lomwe lidafika ku Mexico City. Umu ndi momwe ndidamusangalalira Paricutin, ndipo ngakhale m'zaka zimenezo ndinalibe mwayi wokumana naye, sizinachoke m'malingaliro mwanga kuti ndipitebe konse.
Zaka zambiri pambuyo pake, pazifukwa zantchito, ndinali ndi mwayi wotenga magulu awiri a alendo aku America omwe amafuna kuyenda kudera lamapiriwo, ndipo ngati zinthu zingalole, kuti ndikwere.
Nthawi yoyamba yomwe ndinapita, zinali zovuta kuti tifike tawuni yomwe Paricutín amayendera: Angahuan. Misewuyi inali yopanda miyala ndipo tawuniyo sinalankhulepo Chisipanishi chilichonse (ngakhale pano nzika zake zimalankhula kwambiri Purépecha, chilankhulo chawo, kuposa chilankhulo china chilichonse; amatchulanso phiri laphiri lotchuka lotchedwa dzina lake Purépecha: Parikutini).
Titafika ku Angahuan tinalemba ganyu woyang'anira wakomweko ndi akavalo angapo, ndipo tidayamba ulendowu. Zinatitengera pafupifupi ola limodzi kuti tifike pomwe anali tawuni ya San Juan, yomwe idayikidwa ndi kuphulika mu 1943. Ili pafupi m'mphepete mwa chiphalaphala ndipo chinthu chokhacho chomwe chimawonekera pamalopo ndikutsogolo kwa tchalitchi ndi nsanja yomwe idatsalira, gawo la nsanja yachiwiri, komanso kuchokera kutsogolo, koma komwe kudagwa, ndi kumbuyo kwake, komwe kuli atrium, yomwe idapulumutsidwa.
Wotsogolera kwanuko akutiuza nkhani zina za kuphulika, tchalitchi komanso anthu onse omwe anafera momwemo. Anthu ena aku America adachita chidwi ndi malingaliro a kuphulika kwa phiri, chiphalaphala chaphalaphala ndikuwonetseratu koyipa kwa zotsalira za tchalitchichi chomwe chidatsalira.
Pambuyo pake, wowongolera adatiuza za malo omwe chiphalaphala chikuyenera kuyendamo; Anatifunsa ngati tingakonde kumuchezera ndipo nthawi yomweyo tinati inde. Anatitsogolera kudzera munjira zing'onozing'ono m'nkhalango kenako ndikudutsa scree mpaka tinafika pamalopo. Zowonetserazo zinali zosangalatsa: pakati pa ming'alu ina m'matanthwe panatuluka kutentha kwakukulu komanso kouma, kwakuti sitinathe kuyandikira pafupi nawo chifukwa tinadzimva kuti tikuyaka, ndipo ngakhale chiphalacho sichinawonekere, panalibe kukayika kuti pansi pa nthaka, inkapitirirabe. Tidapitilizabe kuyendabe pamalowo mpaka pomwe wotitsogolera uja adatitsogolera pansi pa phiri lophulika, komwe mbali yake yakumanja imawonekera kuchokera ku Angahuan, ndipo m'maola angapo tinali pamwamba.
Nthawi yachiwiri ndikukwera ku Paricutín, ndinali ndi gulu la anthu aku America, kuphatikiza mayi wazaka 70.
Apanso tidalemba ganyu woyang'anira mdera lathu, yemwe ndidamuwumiriza kuti ndiyenera kupeza njira yosavuta yoti ndikwere phiri lophulika chifukwa cha msinkhu wa mayiyo. Tinayenda pafupifupi maola awiri m'misewu yafumbi yodzala ndi phulusa la chiphala chamoto, chomwe chinatipangitsa kukakamira kangapo chifukwa galimoto yathu sinayende ndi matayala anayi. Pomaliza, tidafika kuchokera kumbuyo (tawonedwa kuchokera ku Angahuan), pafupi kwambiri ndi phiri laphalaphala. Tinadutsa malo amphepo yamatope kwa ola limodzi ndikuyamba kukwera njira yodziwika bwino. Pasanathe ola limodzi tinafika paphiripo. Mayi wazaka 70 anali wamphamvu kuposa momwe timaganizira ndipo analibe vuto, ngakhale kukwera kapena kubwerera komwe tidasiya galimoto.
Zaka zambiri pambuyo pake, polankhula ndi anthu a Unknown Mexico zakulemba nkhani yokhudza kukwera ku Paricutín, ndidatsimikiza kuti zithunzi zanga zakale zakomweko sizinali zokonzeka kufalitsidwa; Chifukwa chake, ndidayimbira mnzanga, Enrique Salazar, ndikumuuza kuti akwere phiri la Paricutín. Nthawi zonse amafuna kuikweza, komanso kusangalala ndi nkhani zomwe anamva za iye, choncho tinanyamuka kupita ku Michoacán.
Ndinadabwitsidwa ndi kusintha kosiyanasiyana komwe kwachitika mderali.
Mwazina, mseu wa 21 km wopita ku Angahuan tsopano wapangidwa, chifukwa zinali zosavuta kufikira pamenepo. Anthu am'derali akupitilizabe kupereka ntchito zawo ngati owongolera ndipo ngakhale tikadakonda kupatsa wina ntchito, tinali ochepa ndalama. Tsopano pali hotelo yabwino kumapeto kwa tawuni ya Angahuan, yokhala ndi zipinda zodyeramo ndi malo odyera, omwe ali ndi chidziwitso chokhudza kuphulika kwa Paricutín (zithunzi zambiri, ndi zina zambiri). Pakhoma lina lamalowa pali chojambula chokongola komanso chokongola chomwe chikuyimira kubadwa kwa phirili.
Tidayamba kuyenda ndipo posakhalitsa tinafika kumabwinja a tchalitchicho. Tinaganiza zopitiliza ndikuyesera kukafika kuchigwacho kuti tizigona usiku wonse. Tinali ndi malita awiri okha a madzi, mkaka pang'ono ndi zipolopolo zingapo za mkate. Ndinadabwa kuti Enrique analibe chikwama chogona, koma anati silinali vuto lalikulu.
Tinaganiza zodutsa njira yomwe pambuyo pake tinatcha "Via de los Tarados", yomwe inali yopanda kuyenda m'njira, koma kuwoloka scree, yomwe ili pafupifupi 10 km kutalika, kutsetsereka kwa kondomu ndikuyesera kukwera mwachindunji. Tidadutsa nkhalango yokha pakati pa tchalitchi ndi chulu ndikuyamba kuyenda panyanja yamiyala yakuthwa ndi yotayirira. Nthawi zina timayenera kukwera, pafupifupi kukwera, miyala ina ikuluikulu chimodzimodzi tinkatsitsa kuchokera kutsidya lina. Tidachita mosamala kuti tipewe kuvulala, chifukwa kuchoka pano ndi phazi lopindika kapena ngozi ina iliyonse, ngakhale itakhala yaying'ono bwanji, zikadakhala zopweteka komanso zovuta. Tinagwa kangapo; mabuloko ena omwe tidaponda adasuntha ndipo imodzi idagwera mwendo wanga ndikucheka panga.
Tidafika pamavuto oyamba a nthunzi, omwe anali ochuluka komanso opanda fungo ndipo, mpaka kufika poti, zinali zabwino kumva kutentha. Kutali titha kuwona madera ena omwe miyala, yomwe nthawi zambiri imakhala yakuda, idakutidwa ndi yoyera. Kutalitali zimawoneka ngati mchere, koma titafika pagawo loyamba la izi, tidadabwa kuti chomwe chidaphimbidwa ndi mtundu wina wa salfa. Kutentha kwamphamvu kwambiri kunatulukanso pakati pa ming'aluyo ndipo miyala inali yotentha kwambiri.
Pamapeto pake, titatha maola atatu ndi theka tikulimbana ndi miyala, tinafika kumunsi kwa phirili. Dzuwa linali litalowa kale, tinaganiza zothamanga. Tinakwera gawo loyamba la kondomu, lomwe linali losavuta chifukwa malowa, ngakhale anali otsetsereka, ndi olimba kwambiri. Tinafika pamalo pomwe kachigawo kakang'ono ka caldera ndi chulu chachikulu zimakumana ndipo timapeza njira yabwino yomwe imalowera kumphepete mwa chiphompho. Chowotcha chachiwiri chimatulutsa utsi komanso kutentha kwakukulu. Pamwambapa pali chulu chachikulu chomwe chimadzaza ndi masamba ang'onoang'ono omwe amawoneka okongola kwambiri. Apa njirayo imakhotakhota katatu kupita kuchigwacho ndipo imakhala yotsetsereka komanso yodzaza ndi miyala ndi mchenga, koma osati zovuta. Tinafika kuchigwacho usiku; timakonda zokongola, timamwa madzi ndikukonzekera kugona.
Enrique anavala zovala zonse zomwe anabwera nazo ndipo ndinakhala womasuka kwambiri mchikwama chogona. Tidadzuka mawu ambiri usiku chifukwa cha ludzu - tidathetsa madzi athu - komanso mphepo yamphamvu yomwe imawomba nthawi zina. Timadzuka dzuwa lisanatuluke ndipo timasangalala ndi kutuluka kokongola. Chigwacho chili ndi nthunzi zambiri ndipo nthaka ndi yotentha, mwina ndichifukwa chake Enrique sanazizire kwambiri.
Tinaganiza zopita ku phompho, choncho tinapita kumanja (titaona chiphalaphala kuchokera kutsogolo kuchokera ku Angahuan), ndipo pafupifupi mphindi 10 tinafika pamtanda womwe umakhala pamwambamwamba womwe uli ndi kutalika kwa 2 810 m asl. Ngati titabweretsa chakudya, tikadatha kuphika, chifukwa chinali chotentha kwambiri.
Tikupitiliza ulendo wathu wozungulira chigwacho ndikufika kumunsi kwake. Apa palinso mtanda wawung'ono, ndi chikwangwani chokumbukira tawuni yotayika ya San Juan Quemado.
Patatha theka la ola tidafika kumsasa wathu, tidasonkhanitsa zinthu zathu ndikuyamba kutsika. Timatsatira zigzags kupita ku kondomu yachiwiri ndipo apa, mwamwayi kwa ife, timapeza njira yodziwika bwino yopita kumunsi kwa kondomu. Kuchokera pamenepo njirayi imapita pakatikati pa scree ndipo imakhala yovuta kutsatira. Nthawi zambiri timayenera kuyiyang'ana m'mbali ndikubwerera pang'ono kuti tikasamutse chifukwa sitinali okondwa ndi lingaliro loti tidutsanso scree ngati opusa. Patadutsa maola anayi tinafika m'tauni ya Angahuan. Tinakwera galimoto ndikubwerera ku Mexico City.
Paricutín ndichimodzi mwazinthu zokongola kwambiri zomwe tili nazo ku Mexico. Tsoka ilo anthu omwe amawachezera ataya zinyalala zodabwitsa. M'malo mwake, sindinawonepo malo onyansa; anthu akumaloko amagulitsa mbatata ndi zakumwa zozizilitsa kukhosi pamphepete mwa scree, pafupi kwambiri ndi tchalitchi chomwe chawonongedwacho, ndipo anthu amaponya zikwama zamapepala, mabotolo ndi zina zotero kudera lonselo. Ndizomvetsa chisoni kuti sitisunga malo athu achilengedwe mokwanira. Kuyendera phiri la Paricutín ndichinthu chosangalatsa, chifukwa cha kukongola kwake komanso zomwe zatanthauzirako za nthaka ya dziko lathu. Paricutín, chifukwa chobadwa kumene, ndiye kuti, kuyambira zero mpaka momwe tikudziwira tsopano, amadziwika kuti ndi chimodzi mwazinthu zachilengedwe padziko lapansi. Tidzaleka liti kuwononga chuma chathu?
