Umfula iColca uqala phezulu e-Andes, eCororama Crucero Alto, wehla ePacific ngezigaba, ushintsha igama layo ku-Majes bese kuthiwa uCamana njengoba uya. Lapho ugijima khona phakathi kwamadolobhana amancane ase-Chivay kuya eCabanaconde iyi-canyon ejulile eyaziwa ngokuthi iColca Canyon.
Le canyon kuthiwa yiyona ejulile emhlabeni, ecatshangwa ukuthi ibe kabili ngokujulile njengeGran Canyon e-USA. Ngokungafani neningi le-Grand Canyon, izingxenye zeColca canyon zihlala khona, nezinsimu zangaphambi kweColombia zisekela ukulima nokuphila komuntu.
Okuletha izivakashi eziqhubekayo njalo ngonyaka, ngaphezu kwezinto ezesabekayo, yiziphakamiso ze-Andean. I-condor population yaseNingizimu Melika ngeshwa isinciphisa, kodwa lapha eColca Canyon, izivakashi zingazibona ezikude kakhulu njengoba zihamba phezu kwama-thermals ezikhulayo futhi zithwetshe i-carrion ngaphansi kwazo. njengoba lokhu
Umfula nomfula wawuyaziwa kakhulu kwabakwa-Incas nabangaphambi kwawo, kanti abaseSpain babeka amalokishi emfuleni, ngokungangabazeki behlela ukusebenzisa isigodi saseRio Colca njengendlela eya eCuzco nakwezinye izindawo zase-Andean. Bakha amasonto endleleni, ikakhulukazi eCoporaque, kodwa ngenxa yesizathu esithile, amadolobhana awazange akhule futhi umzila usuphelile ngaphandle kwenkumbulo.
Kwakungakaze kube ngasekuqaleni kwawo-1930 ukuthi isigodi saseColca sabuye sahlolisiswa futhi, lesi sikhathi se-American Geographical Society. I-Colca Valley ibiwa ngamagama ahlukene: I-Lost Valley ye-Incas, i-Valley of Wonders, i-Valley of Fire ne-Territory ye-Condor.
Kuye kwabizwa ngokuthi enye yezimangaliso eziyisikhombisa zemvelo emhlabeni. "
Ngawo-1980, nge-Majes Hydroelectric Project, imigwaqo yavula iColca ngaphandle. Enye yezinto ezikhangayo ezivakasheleyo yindlela yokuphila eye yahlala yodwa iminyaka eminingi.
Ukufika Lapho Nendlela Yokukwenza
Ukufinyelela manje kuvame ukuvela eArequipa, edolobheni elikhulu kunawo wonke ePeru futhi ngokuvamile libizwa ngeCiudad Blanca (White City) ngetshe elimhlophe elibizwa nge-ashlar elisetshenziselwa ukwakha.
I-Arequipa cishe amahora amathathu ngebhasi noma i-van. Ukuvakasha kungalungiswa e-Arequipa uma ungenayo kakade iqembu lokuvakasha.
Ihamba ibheke ku-Chivay naseCabanaconde ngasekugcineni kwe-canyon, futhi ungaqala ukuvakashelwa kusuka kunoma iyiphi indawo. Izivakashi eziningi zikhetha ukuvakashela iVayay ntambama, zichitha ubusuku lapho zihambela phezulu, bese zivakashela iColca Canyon ngosuku olulandelayo.
Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yini okunye oyenzayo, okuqakathekileko kweColca Canyon kuyimoto e-Cruz del Condor, ukudlula lapho i-condors ihamba kahle ngokushisa okukhulu okuvela emoyeni njengoba kuqhuma umoya. Uzofuna ukuba khona ekuseni ukuze ubone i-condors endizeni. Bazingela ekuseni noma ntambama bese bebabheka kuyinto engalibaleki. Azikho izitimela, kanti phansi kwe-canyon ngu-3960 ft (1200m) ngaphansi kwesendaweni yokubuka, ngakho-ke sicela ubheke isinyathelo sakho.
Ngaphandle kweColca Canyon, i-La Calera eshisayo e-Chivay kuyindlela enhle yokuphumula emva kokuvakasha kwelanga, kanye namathuna eToro Muerto amaNdiya aseWari. Indawo yokugcina yokuphumula yale maNdiya, engcwatshwe endaweni yokubeletha, yakhiwe ebusweni obungama-90 ° esiphezulu futhi ibona, uyazibuza ukuthi leli gumbi lokungcwaba liphethwe kanjani.
Uma uhlela ukuhamba noma uhambe e-canyon, qiniseka ukuthi uthatha isikhathi sokujwayela ukuphakama futhi uthathe izinhlinzeko nawe.
Thatha imali, njengoba ama-ATM kanye nokuhlola komhambi akusetshenziswanga emadolobheni amancane asendaweni. Qinisekisa ukuthi uzizivikela elangeni ekuphakameni okuphakeme ngesikhwama, isikrini selanga kanye nezibuko zelanga. Ungazivumeli uzuze amandla emzimbeni. Thatha amaphilisi noma imishini yakho yokuhlanza amanzi noma amanzi. Uzofuna ikhamera enhle nokuningi kwefilimu ukuthatha isithombe semibono emihle.
Ukuxoshwa eRio Colca kunxusa abaningi abahamba ngezinyawo, abajabulela ukujabula nokubukeka okuhle kusukela emfuleni kuze kube yizindonga ze-canyon. Abanye bathanda ukuhamba ngebhayisikili emigwaqeni ye-canyon.
I-Colca Canyon ingavakashelwa noma nini nonyaka, kodwa inhle kakhulu, futhi iphephile, ngemva kokuba imvula iphelile. Ama-volcanos aphilayo aseduze, futhi umsebenzi wesimo sezulu ungabangela ukuhamba kwamanzi noma ukuwenza umhlabathi ungahlali kahle. I-Volcan Sabancayo iyasebenza kakhulu kune-Ampato, ongayikhumbula njengesayithi lapho kutholakala khona i-Ice Mummy edumile manje.
