Nkhalango ya Chiapas ndi amodzi mwa madera osangalatsa kwambiri kukafufuza: ndi malo amitsinje yomwe ikuwuluka ndipo zikuwoneka kuti Chac, mulungu wamvula, adakhazikika mdera lamapiri la 200,000 km2 kuti apange dimba lamadzi lalikulu.
Pachila kapena Cabeza de Indios, momwe amatchulidwira pano, ndi umodzi mwamitsinje yokongola kwambiri padziko lapansi kuyambira atapanga mathithi asanu okongola umatsanulira madzi ake abuluu opyola mu Xumulá wobiriwira komanso wodabwitsa.
Choyambirira chomwe timachita kukonzekera ulendowu ndikuwuluka paulendo wa Xumulá kuti mudziwe zambiri za komwe adachokera, popeza tikungodziwa kuti ku Chol dzina lake limatanthauza "madzi ambiri akutuluka m'phirimo", komanso kuchokera mlengalenga Tikuzindikira kuti mtsinjewu umadula phirili pakati, umakhala wothamangitsidwa ndipo umasowa mwadzidzidzi ngati umamezedwa ndi chipinda chachikulu kuti utuluke patsogolo pamatumbo apadziko lapansi ndikupanga ma rapids omwe amakhala ndi madzi 20 m3 pamphindikati, ndipo amathamangira mu ngalande yachilengedwe yomwe imawoneka ngati yosafikirika.
Mufayilo limodzi, motsogozedwa ndi a Tzeltal amderali, timatsika phiri lamatope lomwe limakhala lolimba kwambiri ndikutikakamiza kugwiritsa ntchito zikwanje mwamphamvu. Patadutsa maola ochepa titadutsa tawuni ya Ignacio Allende ndipo titayenda movutikira, tinafika pamwamba pa canyon pomwe mtsinje wa Xumulá umaphulika mokalipa kuchokera ku thanthwe kupita ku thanthwe usanathamange. Kumeneko tikakonza malo oti tikhazikitse msasa womwe tikakhale masiku 18 ofufuza ndi kujambula.
Chinthu choyamba chomwe tidachita titakhazikika, chinali kupeza njira yolowera mumtsinje ndipo chifukwa cha izi tidatsika makoma owongoka a chigwa, mosamala kuti tisasokoneze chingwe chomwe chimatithandizira ndi mipesa iliyonse yomwe tiyenera kudula kuti ipite patsogolo: ntchito yotopetsa m'malo otentha komanso achinyezi. Kenako timakwera mumtsinjewu ndipo tikadutsa kokhotako timakafika ku boquerón, komwe timayesa kusambira, koma mphamvu, yankhanza kwambiri, imatilepheretsa, chifukwa chake timafika pagombe tikudziwa kuti kuyesa mbali iyi sikungatheke.
Poyesa kwachiwiri kupeza njira tifika pamwamba pa mlatho wamiyala pomwe 100 mita pansi pa Xumulá imagwera pansi. Pakatikati pa mlatho, mtsinje wothira madzi umatsanulira madzi ake ngati chinsalu chamadzi munjira yayikulu, ndipo utsi ndi chinyezi zimalamulira pamalopo. Chingwe chimazembera pa pulley ndipo tikamatsika mkokomo ukuwonjezeka, umakhala wogonthetsa, ndipo mathithi amathothoka pakhoma la fanolo wamkuluyo. Tili pakhomo lolowera kuchipinda chapansi chapansi: pakamwa pa gehena ... Kutsogolo, mumphika wamtundu wa 20m m'mimba mwake, madzi amatikita ndikutilepheretsa kudutsa; kupitirira apo, bowo lakuda limawoneka: pamenepo zosadziwika zimayambira. Tikudabwa kuti madzi amphepo amenewa atifikitsa pati?
Pambuyo powoloka ma pendulum angapo, tidakwanitsa kudzipeza tokha mbali ina ya ketelo yauzimu, pakhomo lolowera mumdima ndikutulutsa utsi pomwe mpweya wamphamvu umayamwa m'madontho ndipo zimapangitsa kuti zikhale zovuta kuti tiwone zomwe zikutsatira chifukwa cha madzi omwe amatigunda. Timayang'ana kudenga, timawona mitengo ina itakanirira kutalika kwa mita 30 ndipo malingaliro athu amayamba kugwira ntchito pazomwe zingachitike kukakhala mvula yambiri kumtunda: kusefukira kwamtunduwu ndipo timakhala zinthu zosadziwika zosandama.
Mosamala, tidayandikira kumtsinje. Madzi amadzipondereza mumakhonde awiri a mita, malo oseketsa pakati pamakoma awiri ofukula. Tangolingalirani mphamvu ya makwinya amene akukhalapo panopo pamadzi! Timazengereza, phokoso limatipweteka, timadutsa chingwe chomaliza cha chingwe ndipo timakokedwa ngati chipolopolo cha mtedza. Pambuyo poyambira koyamba timayesetsa kuswa koma sitingathe chifukwa makomawo ndi osalala komanso oterera; chingwe chimayenda mothamanga kwambiri ndipo patsogolo pathu pali mdima wokha, osadziwika.
Tapita patsogolo kuti tigwiritse ntchito chingwe cha 200 m chomwe timanyamula ndipo mtsinjewo sunasinthe. Kutali, timamva mkokomo wa mathithi ena pamene nyumbayi ikuwoneka kuti ikukula. Timamva kuti mitu yathu ikung'ung'udza chifukwa cha phokoso ndipo matupi athu anyowa; zakwanira lero. Tsopano, tiyenera kulimbana ndi zamakono, podziwa kuti sitiroko iliyonse imabweretsa kuwala.
Kufufuzaku kukupitilizabe ndipo moyo m'ndendemo siopatsa mpumulo kunena, chifukwa tsiku lililonse malita 40 amadzi amtsinje amayenera kukwezedwa kudzera pamakoma a 120 m. Masiku amvula okha ndi omwe amatipulumutsa ku ntchitoyi, koma ikapitirira, zonse zimasanduka matope, palibe chowuma ndipo chilichonse chovunda. Pambuyo pa sabata limodzi muulamuliro wovuta kwambiri, zowonetserazo zimawonongeka ndipo bowa amakula pakati pamagalasi a zolinga za kamera. Chokhacho chomwe chimatsutsana ndi mzimu wa gululo chifukwa tsiku lililonse kuwunika kwathu kumatipititsa patsogolo pazowoneka bwino. Ndizodabwitsa bwanji kuyenda chonchi pansi pa nkhalango! Denga silimadziwika kwenikweni ndipo nthawi ndi nthawi phokoso la mtsinje limatipangitsa ife mantha, koma ndi milatho yokha yomwe imagwa kudzera m'ming'alu yapakhola.
Pomwe tinali titatha chingwe cha m 1 mita chomwe tidanyamula, timayenera kupita ku Palenque kukagula zina kuti tigwiritse ntchito tikamatsutsana ndi zamakono, ndipo titafika kumsasa tidachezeredwa mosayembekezereka: anthu okhala tauni yopuma pantchito ya La Esperanza, yomwe ili tsidya lina la chigwa, anali kutiyembekezera tili ndi zikwanje ndi mfuti; anali ambiri, amawoneka okwiya ndipo ochepa amalankhula Chisipanishi. Timadzidziwikitsa ndi kuwafunsa chifukwa chomwe abwerera. Adatiuza kuti khomo lolowera kuchitsime lili minda yawo osati ya mtawuni ina monga adatiwuzira. Ankafunanso kudziwa zomwe timayang'ana pansipa. Tinawauza cholinga chathu ndipo pang'ono ndi pang'ono anayamba kukhala ochezeka. Tinaitanira ena kuti abwere nafe, zomwe zinapangitsa kuseka kwapadera, ndipo tinalonjeza kuti tidzapita nawo kumudzi kwawo tikamaliza kufufuza.
Timapitilizabe kuyeserera kwathu ndikuyendanso malo osangalatsa. Mabwato awiriwa amatsatizana ndipo kamera imalemba zomwe zimawoneka kudzera pa nsalu yotchinga. Mwadzidzidzi, tafika pakatikati pomwe mphepoyo ili bata ndipo pamene tikupalasa mumdima tikumasula chingwe chomwe ndi chingwe chathu. Mwadzidzidzi, timatchera khutu chifukwa mafunde amamveka patsogolo ndipo tili tcheru. Kudzera mu phokoso, kulira kwachilendo kumamveka komwe kumatigwira: ndi swallows! Zipilala zingapo ndi kuwala kwa buluu sizimawoneka patali. Sitingakhulupirire ... kutuluka Hooray, tatha!
Kukuwa kwathu kumamvekera m'mimbamo ndipo posachedwa timira ndi gulu lonse. Tinachita chidwi ndi kunyezimira kwa dzuwa, ndipo tonse tidadumphira m'madzi ndichisangalalo komanso chisangalalo.
Kwa masiku 18, Mtsinje wa Xumulá unatipangitsa kukhala ndi nthawi yosangalatsa komanso yovuta. Adali milungu iwiri yofufuza ndikujambula mumtsinje wapansi panthakawu, wopambana kwambiri ku Mexico. Chifukwa cha chinyezi chochuluka komanso nthunzi yochuluka sitikudziwa chomwe chinajambulidwa, koma tikukhulupirira kuti tapulumutsa kena kake ngakhale kunali nyengo yovuta.
Akameza amabwera kudzatipatsa moni komaliza. Ndife okondwa chifukwa tidakwanitsa kupangitsa a Xumulá kuti awulule chinsinsi chake chotetezedwa. Pasanapite nthawi yaitali, malo athu onse adzadulidwanso ndiudzu ndipo sipadzakhalanso zotsalira za ulendo wathu. Tsopano timalingalira za phwando ndi anthu aku La Esperanza. Kodi mungawauze bwanji kuti chuma chomwe chidapezeka ndi pomwe malotowo adakwaniritsidwa? Mulungu wamvula sanatipusitse Zikomo Chac!
