Ukuhamba nxazonke e-Ecuador , qiniseka ukuthi uvakashela elinye lamapaki kazwelonke athakazelisayo kakhulu - i-Cotopaxi. Ipaki isendaweni yezifundazwe ezintathu: i-Cotopaxi, i-Napo ne-Pichincha. Igama layo linikezwe epaki ngegama eliphakeme kakhulu lepaki, elihunyushwe ngolimi lwesiQuechua lwamaNdiya elisho ukuthi "intaba yokubhema".
Izici zeCotopaxi National Park
Ipaki yasungulwa ngo-1975 futhi ihlanganisa indawo engaba ngu-330 hectare. Izinhlobonhlobo zemifino nezenzakalo zemvelo epaki kwenza kube yizivakashi. Izintaba zizothola imithambeka egcwele amaqhwa, futhi abalandeli bezintaba bangakhetha indlela eyodwa yezindlela eziningi. Izintaba ezihamba ngezintaba nezingahamba ngebhayisikili epaki zihlonywe ezingeni eliphakeme kakhulu, ikamu lihlelwe phansi kwe-volcano eCotopaxi, kunezindawo zamatende wetende. Ukuze uthole imali elinganiselwe, ungenza ukuhamba ngehhashi. Imvelo enhle ne-crater ye-volcano Cotopaxi, efana neJapane Mount Fuji edumile, idonsela abathwebuli bezithombe emhlabeni wonke. Phezulu kwe-volcano kunezakhi ezimbili zomzimba ezigcwele.
Engxenyeni esentshonalanga yepaki kukhona "ihlathi lefu" - ihlathi eliphakeme lentaba, elihlala ngabameleli abathandekayo bezilwane - ama-hummingbirds, ama-chia ase-Andean, amazinyo, amahhashi asendle nama-llamas asekhaya.
Abavakashi abaphuma ePitoli baya epaki kazwelonke bazobona iziqongo ezinhle kakhulu ze-Andes, ezihamba eceleni komgwaqo omkhulu- Avenue of Volcanoes . Intaba ngayinye kulolu chungechunge inemifino nezilwane zayo ezihlukile. I-Cotopaxi National Park ihlanganisa izintaba-mlilo eziningana ezinamandla, ezinkulu kakhulu zazo yiCotopaxi ne-Sinkolagua, kanye ne-Rumijani ephela.

I-volcano yeCotopaxi iwuphawu lwe-Ecuador
Kubonakala sengathi ama-landscape amahle adalwe ukuze ajabulise iso. Kodwa awukwazi ukusho nge- Ecuador , "izwe lezintaba-mlilo". Izintaba-mlilo eziningana ezikhona zikhona ensimini yeCotopaxi National Park. Abacwaningi abaningi bazama ukukhuphukela phezulu, kodwa umqoqo wokuqala weCotopaxi yi-geologist waseJalimane uWilheim Reis, owahlela lo mkhumbi e-Andes ngo-1872. Ukuqhuma kweCotopaxi enkulu kunazo zonke (ukuphakama kuka-5897 m) kwaphindaphindiwe kwaletha ukubhujiswa ezigodini eziseduze nomuzi waseLatakunga , lapho i-lava evuthayo isusa yonke into indlela yayo. Kodwa eminyakeni engaphezu kwekhulu, kusukela ngo-1904, ulele ngokuthula, futhi iqhwa esiqongweni sayo asincibiliki ngisho nasehlobo elishisayo. Ososayensi bahlale beqapha umsebenzi wokuzamazama komhlaba kule ndawo, ngakho-ke ingozi yokuthi ukuqhuma kwentaba-mlilo kuyobamba izakhamuzi zesigodi ngokuqapha kuncishisiwe. Amakhokhethi avame ukufaniswa neJapane Mount Fuji ethandwa kakhulu. Lokhu akuyona nje intaba-mlilo, kodwa futhi kuyisibonakaliso sezwe, njalo kuvele ngezikhumbuzo.
Ungafika kanjani?
I-Cotopaxi National Park itholakala ku-45 km eningizimu yeQuito . Ungathatha ibhasi, okuzokuyisa epaki emahoreni ambalwa. Ukungena okuyinhloko epaki kungamakhilomitha ambalwa ukusuka edolobhaneni laseLasso. Izindleko zokungena zingama-dollar ayi-10.
