Mōʻaukala
ʻO ke kahawai kiʻekiʻeʻo Limpiopungo kahi i kūkuluʻia ma kahi kiʻekiʻe o 3800 m ma muli o ka heheʻeʻana o nā glaciers. Ua hanaʻia ma kahi lōʻihi i hala, 2000,000 makahiki i hala. Ua piha loa ka loko, piha i ka iʻa, nā mea i hoʻolako i ka meaʻai no nā kānaka o nā kauhale e pili ana. Akā, ma muli o ka hoʻomakaʻana o ka mahiʻai ma ka'āina, a hoʻomaka nā kānaka o ka'āina e huki i ka wai no ka hoʻouluʻana i nā māla, uaʻano nui ke kai. I kēia lā, nui ka wai i loko, ua hana ka moku'āina i nā mea a pau e hiki ai ke pale i ka nalowaleʻana o ke kiʻo maoli maoli.
He aha ka mea eʻike ai ma kahi kokoke i ke kai?
Aiaʻo Limpiopungo ma ka piko o ka'Ekaukua mauna. He kaulana ia no ka pilina kupaianaha o ka Alley of Volcanoes mai kona mau kahakai: i ka wānana o ke anilā, uaʻano ka lōʻihi o nā piko o Cotopaxi , Sincholagua a me Ruminyavi. ʻO kēia kūlana e hoʻoholo i ka hele maikaʻiʻana o ka moana i kēlā me kēia manawa o ka makahiki. ʻOiai ka lōʻihi loa, ua nui nā kānaka i ke kai. Ma kahi o ke kai e alakaʻi aku ana i ke kai,ʻo nā pua llamas a me nā dera i kaʻai, kokoke i nā pua lūlū, nā kānaka nui loa o kēia mau wahi, e lele i nā wāwae. Aia ma luna o ka moana he mau gull a me nā kīleʻa, nā pūpū, a me nāʻano manuʻeleʻele loa, e like me ka'īlio keʻokeʻo -ʻo ka nui o kēia mau manu iʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o hoʻokahi haneli. ʻO ka nui, aia he 24 mauʻano manu. ʻAʻole ka haʻahaʻa o ke anuanu, ma ka pō e piʻi ai ka mahana a zero, i ka lā a he manawa maʻamau a me ka makani. Eia nō naʻe, ma lalo o kēlāʻano hoʻolālā,ʻoi aku ma mua o 200 mau mea ulu, a he nui nāʻano lāʻau lāʻau i loaʻa. Ma nā wahi a pau ma nā kahakai, aia nā rosemary a me nā kumu lāʻau. Ma kahi o ka moana e hoʻonohonohoʻia i kahi alahele, kahi e mālama maikaʻiʻia a hoʻolakoʻia me kahi papa hanaʻike. No ke kaʻawaleʻana o ka loko, hoʻokahi a me ka hapalua hola.
Pehea e hiki ai i laila?
Aiaʻo Lake Limpiopungo i 30 kilomita ma ka hema o Quito , kahi mamao e kaʻawale ai mai ke kūlanakauhale nui o Lakatunga , ma waena o ka moku Cotopaxi. Hiki iāʻoe ke hele i ka moana mai kekahi kūlanakauhale ma ka kaʻa i lalo o hoʻokahi hola. Aia ka loko ma lalo o nā lua pele lua - Cotopaxi a me Ruminyavi.
