IQuilotoa yintaba-mlilo e-Ecuadorian Andes umngxuma wayo oqokelele oko kwaziwa njenge chibi lomngxuma. I-3 km ububanzi kwaye imalunga ne-250 yeemitha ubunzulu, iyenza ukuba ibe lelinye lawona machibi makhulu kwaye abonakalayo emvuleni wentaba-mlilo.
Yeyona volcano isentshona e-Ecuador kwaye iyinxalenye yeCotopaxi National Park. Umbala ocoliweyo oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka wamanzi awo kungenxa yemali eninzi yezimbiwa ezikhoyo echibini.
Yindawo ezika ngokutshona, ukuphola kwayo kunye nodaka lwentaba-mlilo ngokuthe ngcembe kubangele ukuba ingabinamandla kwaye ichibi lenziwa ngenxa yokungasebenzi kwentaba-mlilo kunye nokuqokelelana kwemvula, njengaleyo yaseQuilotoa. Uninzi lweentaba-mlilo zeli chibi zikwilizwekazi laseMelika, eYurophu sinokuzifumana eIceland nasePortugal.
Olunye lolona hambo lunomdla kwaye lubalulekile e-Ecuador. Yonke indlela enqumla kwilizwe laseAndes kufuneka ibandakanye utyelelo kulo mboniso wendalo.
Ufika njani eQuilotoa?
Ngokuqhelekileyo eyona ndlela ikhawulezayo isuka kwidolophu yaseLatacunga, malunga ne-75Km (iyure enye enesiqingatha sendlela). Ungahamba usuka e-Ambato, malunga ne-1Km, ngeLatacunga kunye nakwikomkhulu lelizwe, iQuito. Ndicinga ukuba umgama osuka eQuito mde kakhulu ukuba ungahamba le ndawo ngaphandle kokuphosa eyona nto ibalulekileyo.
Kukho iindlela ezimbini zokufika kwintaba-mlilo: ngemoto (nokuba yeyabucala okanye iarhente enesikhokelo sendawo) okanye ngebhasi kawonkewonke Ukusuka kwisikhululo sebhasi esikhulu eLatacunga, okwangoku kukho ibhasi eyi-1 ethe ngqo yemihla ngemihla edlula kwidolophu yaseZumbahua okanye ngeebhasi iyure nganye ukuya kule dolophu kwaye kanye apho ngeteksi eya eQuilotoa.
Kwimeko yam, ndiqeshe isikhokelo sendawo ngemoto evela eLatacunga ukuze ndikwazi ukutyelela iidolophu zemveli kwaye ndiqonde imvelaphi kunye nembali yentaba-mlilo kunye nenkcubeko yendawo.
Ngendlela efanayo nale benditshilo ngayo eCotopaxi volcano, kubalulekile ukuyazi loo nto Siya kuba phantse kwi-4000 yeemitha zokuphakama. Ukuba asiqhelanga kuyo, sinokuba nentloko kwaye sigule ezintabeni. Kuyimfuneko ukuziqhelanisa nokuphakama kwelizwe kancinci kancinci, hayi ukuya ngqo kunxweme ukuya kummandla ophakamileyo we-Andes kuba kunokuba yingozi kwimpilo.
Ndikwacebisa ukuba uze nempahla eshushu, intaba okanye ezemidlalo kunye nezihlangu ezifanelekileyo. Indlela eya edikeni imtyibilizi.
Indlela eya eQuilotoa igqitha kummandla weentaba waseAndean ngobuhle obukhulu. Yindawo apho abantu abaninzi bengabemi bomthonyama. NgooLwezine intengiso yasekuhlaleni enomdla ibanjelwa eSaquisilí. Le dolophu iphakathi ukuya eQuilotoa.
Kuluhambo lokuba Inokwenziwa ngosuku olufanayo ukuqala kwiLatacunga. Ngayiphi na imeko, kwingingqi yelibi kunye nakwiidolophu ezikufutshane kukho indawo yokuhlala encinci kwaye urhulumente wase-Ecuadorian uvumela inkampu kwintaba-mlilo ngemvume yangaphambili.
Ndicebisa ukuba kwenziwe u-1 okanye u-2 ayeke apha endleleni ngaphambi kokuba afike kwi-volcano ukuze afumane kwaye onwabele ubugcisa bemveli kunye nenkcubeko yalo mmandla. Kuhle kakhulu kwaye kunomdla ukubona indlela abantu bendawo abahlala ngayo.
Xa ulapho, kuya kufuneka uhlawulele ukufikelela kwindawo yokupaka kunye neevenkile zemveli.
Yintoni enokuyenza eQuilotoa?
Ngokuchasene noko umntu anokucinga, ipaki yemoto iphezulu kwintaba-mlilo hayi ezantsi. Into yokuqala esiyibonayo lichibi elikude, ngaphezulu kwako konke. Yintaba-mlilo ukuba uyityelele kufuneka wehle unganyuki.
Es omnye weyona mifanekiso mihle ye-Ecuador: Paka imoto, hamba uye ngakwitreyini (okwangoku awunakubona nto) kwaye ngequbuliso ubone ubukhulu be volcano kunye nechibi. Ushiya ungathethi. Akukho xesha likunika imvakalelo yokuba emva komjelo kukho umjelo oya echibini, i-3 km ububanzi kunye ne-250 yeemitha ubunzulu.
Nje ukuba ube lapho, unomdla yihla uye echibini. Ngenxa yoko kukho umendo onethambeka elibonakalayo elihla lize kuloo mngxuma.
Malunga nesiqingatha seyure lonke uhambo lwedike lwenziwe. Kuya kufuneka ulumke njengoko umgangatho umtyibilika. Indlela enyukayo inzima kakhulu kwaye ifuna ngaphezulu kweyure e-1 okanye iyure enesiqingatha ukuyenza, nangona kanye xa usezantsi ungayiqesha inkonzo ukuze unyuke ngehashe.
Apho unako jonga ngononophelo kwi-fumaroles yentaba-mlilo, nangona ingasebenzi, isakhupha iigesi emazantsi echibi. Unga lula ukuhamba inxalenye yonxweme echibini.
ILatacunga, indawo yokuqala yeQuilotoa
Ndikwacebisa ukuba undwendwele iziko leLatacunga, uhlale kwesi sixeko kwaye uthathe uhambo ngosuku olulandelayo. Ithathwa njengeyona dolophu inkulu "kwisekethe yeQuilotoa" kunye neyona ndawo iphambili isuka eQuilotoa kunye neCotopaxi National Park. Inqaku lesicwangciso kwiiAndes (inesikhululo seenqwelomoya esibalulekileyo kwilizwe).
Ezona zinto zinomtsalane kubemi zizonke iicawa zayo embindini kunye necawa yayo, ukusukela kwinkulungwane ye-XNUMX. Ayisiyo idolophu yabakhenkethi kwaye iyanceda ukucamngca ngendlela yokuphila yama-Ecuador aseAndes.
Ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo, iQuilotoa yenye yeendawo ongasoze uzilibale ukuba uyindwendwele. Intaba-mlilo enkulu kunye nedike lobuhle obungaqhelekanga. Ndincoma ngokupheleleyo ukuba ndikwazi ukubona lo mboniso wendalo ukuba unako.
