Inganekwane yomlingo eChurumbelo Waterfall

Sahamba ngaseningizimu ye Colombia, ikakhulukazi ku- UMnyango wePutumayo, ukuhlangabezana nenye yezindawo ezinomlingo kakhulu eNingizimu Melika. Lapho, eduze kwedolobha lase IMocoa indawo enhle yemvelo ifihla futhi isongwe ku-halo engaqondakali yezinganekwane: abakwaChurumbelo.

Eqinisweni, iChurumbelo yigama lezintaba ezihlala amahektha angaphezu kwama-12.000 wehlathi. I-labyrinth eluhlaza futhi ejiyile egcwele impilo lapho kudlula khona izifundo zemifula eminingi. Lesi simo sikhuthaza kakhulu kunoma ngubani onomqondo ojabulisayo wokuthola. Amakhona ayo akude futhi afihliwe indawo ekahle yezinganekwane nezinganekwane.

Inganekwane esizokhuluma ngayo namhlanje inomsuka wasendulo, ngisho nangaphambi kokufika kweSpanishi ezwenikazi laseMelika. Iqiniso ukuthi sonke lesi sifunda sasihlala emakhulwini eminyaka adlule ngempucuko yasendulo ehlobene nesizwe samanje se- Ama-Ingas (akumele kudidaniswe nama-Inca), njengoba kufakazelwa yizinsalela eziningi zemivubukulo ezanda kuyo yonke indawo.

Kuyamangaza ngempela ukuthi le nganekwane ikwazile ukubuyela emuva ngesikhathi futhi yasifinyelela ngenxa yesiko lomlomo labantu bomdabu behlathi laseColombia. Nakhu asitshela kona:

Igugu likaChurumbelo

Isifunda sonke saseChurumbelo sigcwele izimpophoma nezimpophoma. Izivakashi, zikhangwe ubuhle bendawo kanye nengcebo yayo engokwemvelo, ziza kwabaningi bazo ukuzojabulela ukubhukuda okuqabulayo emanzini ayo acwebile okristalu. Kodwa-ke, abaningi abazi ukuthi omunye wabo ucasha into enhle umcebo.

Ekwindla kwalo, Impophoma yaseChurumbelo, kwakheka ogwini lomfula Umfula iPonchayaco, yakha ichibi elincane elizungezwe ihlathi elicinene. Isimo sezulu. Kuthiwa ekujuleni kwayo iyafihla isithombe segolide esiqinile esime njengomntwana. Into eyigugu mhlawumbe eyayiphonswa lapho ukuyifihla ezandleni ezihahayo zabanqobi.

Ngokomlando, onkulunkulu behlathi selokhu banakekela ukugcina le ngcebo ikude nabantu abafuna ukwazi nabaphangi. Futhi bakhethe i- waties Ngalo msebenzi.

Ngokwesiko lakudala labantu bomdabu bendawo, amaWati yimimoya ehlala ehlathini. Yibo ababanga izimvula ezinamandla neziphepho ezinodlame ezihlasele le ndawo, okwenza ihlathi libe yinqaba eluhlaza engenakunqotshwa. Futhi yibo phambanisa abahloli bamazwe nabahloli bezingilazi nezindledlana ezijikelezayo. Ngokusobala, amaWatíes anomusa ngandlela thile kubavakashi, abavumela ukuba basondele eChurumbelo ukujabulela ubuhle bendawo.

Inganekwane Noma Iqiniso? Kunzima ukusho, kepha uhhafu ngokungathi sína ngokuncokola kukhona abavakashi abaningi abaphequlula ichweba befuna umcebo ngenkathi bevakashele empophomeni, befuna phakathi kwamatshe nezikhala ezisendaweni. Abanye bathi babonile ukucwebezela kwegolide ngaphansi kwamanzi lapho imisebe yelanga yayishaya ngqo.

Ngokwemvelo, akekho noyedwa okwaze ukuthola lutho kuze kube manje. Cishe, umcebo waseChurumbelo awukho, kepha leyo yinto okungekho muntu ongayiqinisekisa ngokuqiniseka.

ISerranía de la Macarena Ipaki Yemvelo

I-El Churumbelo nomcebo wayo ongaqondakali wenganekwane kungaphakathi kwemikhawulo ye- ISierra de Macarena Ipaki Yemvelo, omunye kwabaningi amapaki nezinqolobane zemvelo ze-Amazon yaseColombia.

 Le paki inomsuka wayo ku- Isabelo sebhayoloji seLa Macarena, yasungulwa ngo-1948. Lesi sikhala sasihlanganisa indawo enkulu yokwakheka komhlaba IGuiana Shield, ngokunwetshwa okulinganiselwa kwamakhilomitha ayi-130 ukusuka empumalanga kuye entshonalanga futhi cishe amakhilomitha angama-30 ukusuka enyakatho kuye eningizimu.

ISierra de La Macarena igcina ngaphakathi izinhlobonhlobo eziningi zezindawo ezibukeka kahle nezemvelo, kusuka emahlathini anomswakama nasehlathini eligcwele izikhukhula kuya ezindaweni zokukhuhla nezindawo ze-savanna yase-Amazonia Lezi zinhlaka ziyindawo yokuhlala yezinhlobo zezitshalo nezilwane ezingenakubalwa, eziningi zazo ezikhona.

Ngaphezu kwemvelo ejabulayo futhi yasendle, eSierra de Macarena Natural Park kukhona futhi izindawo zokuvubukula kubaluleke kakhulu emigodini ye Imifula iDuda neGuayaberoKutholakale ama-petroglyphs ayimfihlakalo nama-pictograms lapho okuwubufakazi bamasiko omdabu ayehlala kule ndawo emakhulwini eminyaka adlule.

Ngeshwa, inkumbulo nolwazi lwabaningi balaba bantu kulahlekile unomphela. Kuyadabukisa, ngoba mhlawumbe bangacacisa imininingwane yenganekwane yaseChurumbelo kanye negolide layo eliyindida nelingabonakali.
