Ma ke kūkulu'ākau o Chile , ma ka Haleʻo Paru Flamencos, aia nā'auwaʻa paʻakai paʻakikī loa a me nā loko iʻikeʻia no ko lākouʻano polū polū'ōuliuli. No ka mea, ua noʻonoʻo keʻano o ke ola i loko o ka wao akua maloʻo o ka honua, he wahi hoʻomaha no nā holoholona a me nā manu. Aia nā mokupuni o ka noho ma nā kahakai o nā loko liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi. ʻO kekahi o ia mau wahi, kū hoʻokahi i kona nani a me kona pilina, he lualahi o nā kahawai mauna, kahi i 4200 m mau kiʻekiʻe. Ua loaʻa i nāʻuhane koa he nui ke kiʻekiʻe; Hikiʻole ka ea a me ka nele o ka oxygen e hiki ai i kou poʻo ke kuhi, akā, pono kaʻoihana! Hele nā huakaʻi hele i Atacama eʻoluʻolu i ka noho nanea a me ka nani, no ka hoʻomahaʻana mai ka pupule o nā kūlanakauhale nui. ʻO nā heleʻana i nā kauā a me nā wahi'ē aʻe o kaʻona o ka wao nahele e noho i kahi o nā wahi mākaʻikaʻiʻekolu a me ka hoʻolaha i ka'āina.
ʻO kaʻike o ke kahawai Minigke
Hoʻokipaʻo Laguna Minieke i ka nani nani o nā kahua ākea a puni. ʻO ke alanui e hele ai i waena o nā kuahiwi nani a me nā lua pele, e hāʻawi ana i nā mea hele wāwae e mahalo i ka puahele a me nā iʻa o ke kualapaʻo Antiplano. I ka hōʻeaʻana, he mea kupaianaha kēia ma kaʻikeʻana o nā kuahiwi e lele mai ana i luna a me ka laʻau me kahi waiʻeleʻele clear, a heʻano kohu maikaʻi. He mea nani kaʻike, no ka mea, maloʻo ka wao akua a no laila he ea mālie loa,ʻaʻole loa ma kahi'ē aʻe. Kokoke kokoke i ka lago kahi minyke pele nui Minyke - he puʻupuʻu nui o nā lua, nā hale a me nā kahawai. Ke hele nei i kahi kokoke i ka lae kahi, ua uhiʻia kona mau poʻi me kahi paʻakai paʻakai, aia wale nō ma nā ala i kālaiʻia a me nā ala i kahakahaʻia. I kahi kokoke e hiki iāʻoe keʻike i nā pua o nā mea hihiu hihiu - ka mea lokomaikaʻi maikaʻi loa o kaʻohana kamela, nāʻano loiloi pinepine, nā mea kuahiwi, a me nā kui kui. ʻO ka Lagoon Mignike ka makani loa, mālama i nā kapa mahana.
Pehea e hiki ai i laila?
ʻO ka Lagoon Mignike kahi i loaʻa ai he mau kilomita mai San Pedro De Atacama mai . Hoʻokomo ka 'oihana kaʻa i nā kūlanakauhale o Kalam (1.5 mau hora ma ke kaʻa a kaʻa) a me ka Antofagasta (4 mau huakaʻi). Hiki ke hōʻea i kēia mau kūlanakauhale ma nā kaʻa kaʻa pololei mai Santiago . ʻO Calama kahiʻoihana e pili ana i ka wao akua. ʻO nā poʻe holokaʻi e hopohopoʻole i ka holo kaʻa lōʻihi he 1000 km ke hoʻohana i nā holo kaʻa pololei iā Atacama mai ke kapikala o Chile .
