I-Machallina iyindawo ephawulekayo e- Ecuador , eseduze kwedolobha lasePuerto Lopez, entshonalanga yezwe.
Kuyini ensimini yesigceme?
I-Machallina iyipaki kazwelonke, ehlelwe ngo-1979. Itholakala eduze kolwandle lwasePacific. Insimu, ngaphandle kwamahlathi ashisayo angenakunqunywa, ihlanganisa iziqhingi eziningana. Okukhulu kunazo zonke yiSalango neLa Plata. Igama lesiqhingi sokugcina linikezwa igama lomcebo, okwakushiywe lapha nguFrancis Drake - umkhumbi waseNgilandi kanye nommeli wesikhulu sezindiza zaseNgilandi.
Engxenyeni yesigceme yi-museum de Agua Blanca. Utshela izivakashi mayelana namagugu omlando namasiko e-Ecuador. Lapha ungabona izithombe nemidwebo yokuphila kwezizukulwane ezidlule, imibukiso ehlukahlukene, kubandakanya izimbiza ezilula nezitsha ezenziwe ngobumba. Ukukopisha isiko lezizukulwane zangaphambili, izingqungquthela ezakhiwe ngokukhethekile nezindlu zokuhlala, lapho ama-Ecuadoriya ahlala khona. Esigciniwe kukhona indawo lapho ungahlala khona - kungukuthi i-gazebo enombono wendawo ezungezile.
I-flora nezilwane
Insimu yepaki kazwelonke inkulu kakhulu futhi ibalwa cishe ngo-750 km & sup2. Izindawo eziyinhloko zemvelo zimelelwa emahlathini owomile nasezindaweni ezimanzi ezishisayo, okuyingxenye ye-equatorial zone. Inyama yaseMachalleria ihlanganisa izinhlobo ezimbili zezinkawu nezinhlobo ezingaphezu kuka-250 zezinyoni. Nansi enye yezindawo ezimbili ezidumile ze-albatross (eyesibili yiziQhingi zaseGalapagos).
I-humpback whale ingomunye wabamele abakhulu bezilwane zepaki. Ungabona lezi zilwane ezincelisayo ezivela ogwini, eMachallalia izizathu zabo zokuzala. Ama-whales ama-humpback ngokuvamile awela olwandle ngamaphiko awo anamandla, agxuma futhi aphendule emhlane. Enye yezinyathelo zabo eziyintandokazi e-acrobatic ukuphakama okuphezulu emanzini ngesimo esiqondile somzimba, futhi ukuwa komsindo kuningi lokubuyela emuva olwandle. Lezi zimpikiswano zifudukela emaphethelweni ase- Ecuador ukusuka e-Antarctic, zidlule iTierra del Fuego, eduze nogu lweChile nasePeru, futhi izinyanga ezimbalwa (kusukela ngoJuni kuya ku-Okthoba) zihlala eMachallina. Amapulangwe angamafanane, ngakho-ke imifino yomsila ihlukile kumuntu ngamunye. Uma izivakashi zinenhlanhla ukuthwebula i-whale entsha (engabhalwanga encwadini yokubhalisa), ungabiza leli whale igama lakho.
Ehlathini elomile laseMachallina ukunakwa kwabavakashi kubanjwa inyoni encane kunazo zonke emhlabeni - i-hummingbird estrellita esmeraldena.
Phakathi kwalabo abamele izitshalo eziningi kakhulu:
- i-cactus eliphakathi kwamaparele;
- i-ceratonia enombindi;
- izihlahla zomndeni waseMalvian obizwa ngokuthi "kapka".
I-Machallina iyindawo eyingqayizivele
Kusukela ekuqaleni, i-National Park iye yasongelwa yizo zonke izinhlobo zezingozi:
- ukuchithwa kwamahlathi;
- ukudoba okungagunyaziwe;
- ukugqoka, okwakhiqiza izixuku zezivakashi.
Mayelana nalesi simo, ipaki yaqasha ukuphepha kwabakhileyo bendawo isikhathi esithile. Lokhu kwakha imisebenzi emisha futhi kwafakwa abantu ebukhosini be-Machalilla.
Kusukela ngo-1990, leli paki liye laqashelwa ngumphakathi wesayensi wezwe jikelele njengendawo eyingqayizivele yokutadisha imifula. Umsebenzi oyinhloko ososayensi kwakuwukuvikelwa kwamadwala e-coral.
Kusukela ngo-1991, izinhlangano ezifana ne-Nature Conservancy, i-American Agency for International Development, izinhlangano zaseLatin America naseCaribbean ziye zaqala ukuxhasa ngezimali amaPaki kaZwelonke ohlelweni lwezinhlekelele. Inhlangano yomlingani kaMachalilla - Fundacibn Nature - isebenze ngokuzikhandla nemiphakathi yendawo ukuze ifundise imvelo, izindlela zokulima.
Naphezu kwemizamo eminingi nemizamo yokuvikela ipaki, kanye nokuhlelwa kwemisebenzi ehlukahlukene ukuze kuvikelwe uhlobo oluyingqayizivele, izinhlobo eziningi zezilwane zisesekupheleni kokuqothulwa. Ingozi yangempela yokuqothulwa ixhomeke phezu kwabantu base-albatross - izinyoni zasolwandle ezinkulu ezinemifantu emhlophe, ezinamaphiko ezifinyelela kumamitha amathathu. Izindawo zokusabalalisa le nyoni emangalisayo akuzona ezinkulu. Futhi iMachalilla yisiphephelo sokugcina.
Kuyini eduze kwesabelo?
I-Puerto López iyindawo encane yokudoba futhi indlunkulu yesigodi iseduze nensimu yaseMachallina. Udume ngokuvela lapha:
- Iqala iqembu labavakashi abafuna ukubona ukudlala kwama-humpback whale.
- Bahamba ngomkhumbi baya esiqhingini saseLa Plata nabahambahambayo ukuyobona leli hlanga elingavamile elisendle eliqhumayo, bebona ukuhanjelwa kwamagannets amakhulu amakhulu, abheke amafrigates.
Indawo ezungeze i-Isla de la Plata enezingxenye zemifula ifaneleke ukuqhuba imidlalo enjengokudonsa okujulile nge-mask - amanzi lapha ahlanzekile. Kubathandi bezintaba, kunethuba lokuhamba emigwaqweni ehambile yesiqhingi. Ukukude nePuerto Lopez ogwini oluseningizimu yezwe ulwandle lwaseLos Frailes , ukuheha izixuku eziningi zabantu abahamba ngezezivakashi.
