[{"Comment":{"id":"856851","total_score":"20","content":"Mount Cameroon, or Fako (local name), 4,100 m. Its lava flows reach the sea, very close ... This is the highest mountain in West and Central Africa, hard to see though, as it is always covered by clouds. From Buea can take their rise, hiring the services of a local guide and a permit from the Cameroon Ministry of Tourism, all compulsory. Easy, once you come to Buea, where do localizar\u00e9is once all the formalities. Of course, knowing that the climb consists of about 27 km., Saving a height of 3,000 m., And in the rainy season is not really possible, or very difficult. Precisely this was my case, so we settle with trying to glimpse the summit, they had some oversight in the clouds ... Not so from Buea, and Limbe move a few days, the most important town on the coast, one day we decided to approach the area where the last eruption had spread its lava, toward the sea. Over there we walked for a while, set in a sea of \u200b\u200blava that is already covering of ferns and other green plants ... rabid green and full of life. Next door, palm oil plantations, including processing factory with produce at the foot of the famous volcano of the Cameroon exported raw materials. When was the last eruption? as neither more nor less than 1.999, the sixth century eruption (the first was during the filming of Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, in 1982). For now, the s. XXI has not been released yet. Walking between the lava, seeing nothing else on the horizon (and not able to see the summit, or even the Mount Etinde or \"Little Mount Cameroon\" of 1,713 m. In height, facing the sea), because of the clouds defrauded a little, yet gave the landscape a more mysterious. One may think that it has moved to the era when dinosaurs roamed the Earth ... or at least that we have always described this habitat, surrounded by volcanoes :-). Dinosaurs had, but never forget the multicolored grasshopper remained still on a stone. She seemed dressed in one of those fabrics look how well the Africans. A couple of days later, back in Douala and about to spend our last night in this country, way the hotel watching the sunset, which was especially nice. Among the horizontal clouds that were staining the entire range of orange, red, blue, indigo, violet ... make out the shape of a mountain. Note that Douala is about 70 km from the volcano. I asked and sure enough, they confirmed, was Mount Cameroon. It looked huge, and with a silhouette \"book\" as far as volcanoes are concerned. Probably would have been awesome to behold from the coast, but ces't the Fri Maybe that's why his vision, and about to leave, it was more exciting. It seemed to have been found to say goodbye ... :).","title":"Mount Cameroon, or Fako (local name),...","hidden":0,"post_time":"2012-03-09 18:25:11","lang_flag":"es","original_content":"Monte Camer\u00fan, o Fako (nombre local), 4.100 m. Sus coladas de lava alcanzan el mar, muy pr\u00f3ximo... Esta es la monta\u00f1a m\u00e1s alta del oeste y centro de \u00c1frica, dif\u00edcil de ver no obstante, ya que siempre est\u00e1 cubierta de nubes. \r\nDesde Buea se puede emprender su subida, contratando los servicios de un gu\u00eda local especializado y un permiso del Ministerio de Turismo camerun\u00e9s, todo ello obligatorio. F\u00e1cil, una vez que lleg\u00e1is a Buea, localizar\u00e9is enseguida d\u00f3nde hacer todos los tr\u00e1mites. Eso s\u00ed, saber que la subida consta de unos 27 km., salvando un desnivel de 3.000 m., y en temporada de lluvias no es posible -o realmente muy dif\u00edcil-. Precisamente este fue mi caso, as\u00ed que nos conformamos con intentar entrever su cumbre, en alg\u00fan descuido que tuvieran las nubes... No fue as\u00ed desde Buea, y al trasladarnos unos d\u00edas a Limbe, la localidad m\u00e1s importante de la costa, decidimos acercarnos un d\u00eda a la zona en la que la \u00faltima erupci\u00f3n hab\u00eda desparramado su lava, camino del mar. \r\nPor all\u00ed anduvimos un buen rato, enmedio de un mar de lava que ya se est\u00e1 cubriendo de helechos y otras plantas verdes... un verde rabioso y lleno de vida. Justo al lado, plantaciones de aceite de palma, con su f\u00e1brica procesadora incluida, producen al pie de este famoso volc\u00e1n una de las materias primas que Camer\u00fan exporta. \r\n\u00bfCu\u00e1ndo fue la \u00faltima erupci\u00f3n? pues ni m\u00e1s ni menos que en el a\u00f1o 1.999, la sexta erupci\u00f3n del siglo XX (la anterior fue durante el rodaje de Greystoke, la leyenda de Tarz\u00e1n, en 1982). De momento, el s. XXI no se ha estrenado, a\u00fan. \r\nAndar entre la lava, sin ver nada m\u00e1s en el horizonte (y sin poder visionar la cumbre, ni tan siquiera la del monte Etinde o \"peque\u00f1o monte Camer\u00fan\" de 1.713 m. de altura, frente al mar), por culpa de las nubes defraudaba un poco, pero a la vez confer\u00eda al paisaje un aire m\u00e1s misterioso. Uno puede pensar que se ha trasladado a la era en que los dinosaurios campaban en la Tierra... o al menos, as\u00ed nos han descrito siempre ese h\u00e1bitat, rodeados de volcanes en erupci\u00f3n :-). \r\nDinosaurios no hab\u00eda, pero nunca olvidar\u00e9 el saltamontes multicolor que se manten\u00eda quieto sobre una piedra. Parec\u00eda vestido con una de esas telas que tan bien lucen las africanas.\r\n\r\nUn par de d\u00edas m\u00e1s tarde, de vuelta en Douala y a punto de pasar nuestra \u00faltima noche en este pa\u00eds, camino del hotel observaba el atardecer, que era especialmente bonito. Entre las nubes horizontales que se iban ti\u00f1endo de toda la gama de naranjas, rojos, azules, a\u00f1iles, violetas... distingu\u00ed la forma de una gran monta\u00f1a. Hay que se\u00f1alar que Douala est\u00e1 a unos 70 km del volc\u00e1n. Pregunt\u00e9 y efectivamente, nos confirmaron, era el monte Camer\u00fan. Se ve\u00eda enorme, y con una silueta \"de libro\" en lo que a volcanes se refiere. Probablemente hubiera sido impresionante poder contemplarlo desde la misma costa, pero ces't la vie. Quiz\u00e1 por eso su visi\u00f3n, ya a punto de irnos, fue m\u00e1s emocionante. Parec\u00eda que se descubr\u00eda para despedirnos... :).\r\n","original_title":"Un volc\u00e1n de 4.100 m"},"User":{"id":"95582","name":"Alicia Ortego","username":"aliciaortego","has_avatar":"3","suspicious_pois_level":"0","avatar":"https:\/\/avatars.mnstatic.com\/95582_80x80_3.jpg"},"Pictures":[{"id":"4219851","hashcode":"9a9067b14f362da1898ac248bed9ce68","post_time":"2012-03-09 18:25:11","o_width":"4000","o_height":"3000","base_color":"65737F"},{"id":"4219911","hashcode":"71c3ea85072bd6f541e9a1d745982b37","post_time":"2012-03-09 18:25:11","o_width":"3997","o_height":"2608","base_color":"65737F"},{"id":"4219881","hashcode":"7193ab6a399676130331ab5780cd448c","post_time":"2012-03-09 18:25:11","o_width":"4000","o_height":"3000","base_color":"65737F"},{"id":"4219901","hashcode":"e4883903102bcc169b3cca1a2a912bcb","post_time":"2012-03-09 18:25:11","o_width":"4000","o_height":"3000","base_color":"65737F"},{"id":"4219871","hashcode":"3953ef056fbec20dce31771fa1f6426a","post_time":"2012-03-09 18:25:11","o_width":"4000","o_height":"3000","base_color":"65737F"},{"id":"4219861","hashcode":"43d0673c961c851343565eb3067d1f82","post_time":"2012-03-09 18:25:11","o_width":"4000","o_height":"3000","base_color":"65737F"},{"id":"4219891","hashcode":"f392dc43360694957776ba263f8bf0b5","post_time":"2012-03-09 18:25:11","o_width":"3000","o_height":"4000","base_color":"65737F"},{"id":"4219841","hashcode":"cabc59edb3bb5aaaf0368a836b57fdd6","post_time":"2012-03-09 18:25:11","o_width":"4000","o_height":"3000","base_color":"65737F"}],"Rating":null}]
