Samaipata, na Bolívia: um encontro nas alturas

Depois de participar da Feira Internacional de Turismo de Santa Cruz, FIT (www.fitbolivia.com), onde fui para descobrir novos destinos, encontrar pessoas e fazer contatos, parti em busca de novos cenários para meu trabalho fotográfico. Já sabia da existência de Samaipata, cidade onde estou há quase uma semana, um lugar de vales e selva de altitude, formadoras de bosques de samambaias gigantescas como grandes árvores, são aqui chamados de helechos gigantes. Está localizada no oriente da Bolívia, a 1700 metros de altitude e 120 quilômetros de distância de Santa Cruz de la Sierra. É um centro de atração para arqueólogos, historiadores, turistas e muitos estrangeiros que aqui vem morar.

Há mais de 1000 anos estavam aqui os chanés, até que em 1500 d. C. a região é dominada pelo império Inca. Desde os anos 50, Samaipata é um ponto de encontro para diversas etnias bolivianas, populações andinas e das terras baixas bolivianas, os chamados collas e cambas, que vem para essa região em busca de melhores condições de vida das terras férteis dos vales que aqui existem. O nome original Sabaypata, de acordo com o livro Tras tus Huellas, do autor samaipateño César Leonardo Herrera Garcia, foi dado pelos incas e significa “descanso nas alturas”, “lugar de encontro” e “Deus eterno”.

Aqui está localizado um dos mais singulares Patrimônios da Humanidade da Unesco, o Forte de Samaipata, um maciço monolítico de rocha negra que foi esculpido originalmente pela civilização chané. Depois incas e espanhóis fizeram suas construções sobre essa magnífica pedra de dimensões espetaculares.

Do alto dessas montanhas se tem uma vista estonteante dos contrafortes e picos andinos que circundam esse magnífico sítio arqueológico que, além de ter sido uma fortaleza para todas as civilizações que aqui se estabeleceram é também um importante centro cerimonial das culturas andinas que aqui viveram. Como sempre, por conta do estilo de fotografia que desenvolvo, vim em busca, além das questões paisagísticas e ambientais, dos aspectos humanísticos dessa encantadora região.

Uma das coisas mais importantes na vida é fazer novos amigos, aqui hospedados no magnífico hotel El Pueblito(www.elpueblitoresort.com), construído em forma e estilo de uma antiga villa colonial espanhola. Conheci os proprietários, um adorável casal, Sandra Serrate e Giovanni Guidetti. Graças a eles, Samaipata me foi apresentada de uma maneira muito original e profunda. Fui em busca de pequenas comunidades rurais que existem no interior do município, onde encontrei um estilo de vida muito preservado e antigo, essa é a melhor matéria prima para fotografia que desenvolvo. Recomendo a todos os viajantes de plantão que conheçam esse pequeno tesouro do planeta, essa é um localidade que emana uma energia telúrica, que vem da terra, muito forte.

Os esotéricos e místicos, que aqui vem morar em grande número, acreditam que esse seja um dos lugares que vai sobreviver ao fim dos tempos. Eu, por outro lado, quero estar no olho do furacão, pois o mundo sem a civilização como a conhecemos, para mim, será um lugar muito tedioso…

Na semana que vem continuo com mais um post a respeito de Samaipata, cenário de meus próximos workshops, aguardem!

Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

In these days of austerity along with relative anxiousness about running into debt, most people balk up against the idea of employing a credit card in order to make acquisition of merchandise or maybe pay for a vacation, preferring, instead only to rely on the particular tried as well as trusted way of making payment – raw cash. However, if you have the cash there to make the purchase in full, then, paradoxically, that’s the best time to use the credit card for several motives.

Is Google’s announcement it will prevent censoring the internet in China and possibly pull out a marketing ploy?

I’m impressed, I have to say. Really not often do I encounter a weblog that’s each educative and entertaining, and let me inform you, you’ve got hit the nail on the head. Your idea is outstanding; the problem is something that not enough persons are speaking intelligently about. I’m very blissful that I stumbled throughout this in my search for something referring to this.

I like what you guys tend to be up too. This type of clever function and exposure! Keep up the remarkable works guys I have included you guys to my own blogroll.

Pleasant page, I genuinely benefited from glossing over it, keep doing the hard writing.

You are my breathing in, I have few web logs and often run out from brand :) . “Analyzing humor is like dissecting a frog. Few people are interested and the frog dies of it.” by E. B. White.

Hey! Do you use Twitter? I’d like to follow you if that would be okay. I’m absolutely enjoying your blog and look forward to new updates.

This will probably be of excellent help to bloggers and professionals who are into lookup engine marketing. The data collected is laudable!!

This was a fun little challenge. I tried to think of mine as a vacation in Italy or France. It includes walking, biking, and also a cocktail hour! Of course followed by a restful place to examine as well as a cozy place to sleep.

You have noted very interesting details ! ps decent site. “Recompense injury with justice, and recompense kindness with kindness.” by Confucius.

Hello, your website is awesome. I like it so much.

This is the perfect web site for anyone who really wants to understand this topic. You understand a whole lot its almost tough to argue with you (not that I actually would want to…HaHa). You certainly put a new spin on a topic that has been discussed for ages. Great stuff, just wonderful!

Throughout this awesome pattern of things you get a B- just for effort. Where exactly you misplaced me personally was first in all the specifics. You know, people say, the devil is in the details… And it couldn’t be much more true in this article. Having said that, permit me inform you exactly what did deliver the results. The authoring is very convincing which is probably why I am making the effort to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Next, whilst I can easily notice the leaps in reason you come up with, I am definitely not sure of exactly how you seem to unite your ideas that make the final result. For the moment I will yield to your position however trust in the foreseeable future you actually connect your facts better.

I have been browsing online greater than 3 hours as of late, but I never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty value enough for me. Personally, if all webmasters and bloggers made just right content as you probably did, the net shall be a lot more useful than ever before.

You’re so awesome! I don’t believe I have read anything like this before. So good to find somebody with a few unique thoughts on this subject matter. Seriously.. thank you for starting this up. This site is something that’s needed on the web, someone with a bit of originality!

It is a shame you don

Thanks for the unique tips contributed on this weblog. I have noticed that many insurance firms offer customers generous special discounts if they elect to insure a few cars together. A significant number of households have several automobiles these days, especially those with more aged teenage children still located at home, plus the savings upon policies can certainly soon begin. So it pays to look for a good deal.

I went over this website and I conceive you have a lot of great information, bookmarked (:.

wonderful publish, very informative. I wonder why the opposite experts of this sector do not notice this. You must continue your writing. I’m sure, you’ve a great readers’ base already!

Usually I do not learn article on blogs, however I would like to say that this write-up very compelled me to take a look at and do it! Your writing taste has been surprised me. Thanks, quite nice article.

I have noticed that online education is getting preferred because accomplishing your degree online has changed into a popular choice for many people. A lot of people have certainly not had a chance to attend a traditional college or university yet seek the raised earning potential and career advancement that a Bachelor’s Degree provides. Still other people might have a college degree in one course but would choose to pursue one thing they now possess an interest in.

There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Both boys and girls feel the impact of just a moment’s pleasure, for the rest of their lives.
