Umkhonto owenziwe njengommandla wendalo malunga neminyaka eyi-500 leminyaka eyadlulayo, unamanqanaba angama-16 nge-20 km kunye nokuphakama malunga no-2000 m ngaphezu kwinqanaba lolwandle.
Ukujonga okukufutshane
Ekufuphi kweNtaba yeMepo kukho iziqhamo ezinjalo:

- Okuqhelekileyo yi-canyon kufuphi neMaipo, ejikeleza umlambo ngegama elifanayo. Ibhuloho lokumiswa liphonswa ngaphesheya komlambo, likhokelela ukusuka kwibhantshi elincinci ukuya kwelinye iqhekeza eliphambeneyo, kuma-1300 m phezulu. Abakhenkethi bahlala kwibhulorho ixesha elide, kuba kunombono obalaseleyo wentlambo ye-volcano yeMepo, ilitye elihle kunye namanzi amaninzi amancinci.
Yintoni ongayibona emva?
Abakhenkethi apha abakhangwanga kuphela ngombono omhle, kodwa nangombutho weentendo. Okuthakazelisayo kukuba, iindawo ezininzi zihamba ngeenxa yokuhamba ngehashe malunga nommandla kunye nokutyelela kweefestile, kwiivenkile zobugcisa kunye neevenkile. Kulapho kukho iivenkile zabathengisi basekuhlaleni busika, iipesele zesizwe zaseChile, ibhakabhaka, iingubo kunye nezikhumbuzo. Abahambi banokutyelela iidolophana zendawo kwaye baqhelane nendlela ekhethekileyo yobomi bemihlali.
Indlela yokufikelela kwi-volcano Maipo?
Ukufikelela kwi-volcano i-Maipo inokuthi ivela kwisikhulu-sikhulu, isixeko saseSantiago , ngeeyure ezingaphantsi kwe-2 ibhasi ithatha abatyelelo kwiinyawo zentaba, phambi kwayo elula intlambo emangalisayo.
