Cu�ntos de
estos Hechos
sobre el Mundo
Ya Sabias?
Una de las cosas mas intrigantes de viajar
es descubrir por que las cosas son como son
hoy. Desde secretos ocultos hasta extranos
fenomenos, a continuation le presentamos
16 datos sobre el mundo que pueden
parecer absurdas al principio, pero
que en realidad se han demostrado
como hechos reales.
AZERTAC CU LTURA
Nieva en el desierto del Sahara
Se sabe que los desiertos tienen
muy pocas precipitaciones. Si las
precipitaciones son escasas, ino se -
rim las nevadas aun mas raras? Pues
bien, lo imposible ocurrio en 2018 y
el desierto del Sahara se cubrio de un
manto de nieve blanca. Sin embargo,
la nieve solo duro un dia antes de de-
rretirse bajo el calido sol.
La primera nevada registrada fue
en 1979: una tormenta de nieve que
duro media hora. Aunque las tem-
peraturas bajan hasta el punto de
congelation por la noche, la falta de
humedad hace casi imposible que
se produzca nieve. Pero quien sabe,
ipuede que tengas la suerte de verla
en to proximo viaje al Sahara!
Solo hay dos pekes en el mundo
donde no existe la Coca Cola
Puede que pienses que la Coca
Cola es algo que puedes encontrar en
cualquier parte del mundo, pero es-
tos dos paises han estado sometidos
a embargos comerciales estadouni-
denses de larga duration: Corea del
Norte desde 1950 y Cuba desde 1962.
Sin embargo, Corea del Norte ha
fabricado su propio refresco de co-
lor oscuro. La Ilaman Ryongjin Cola
o "Cocoa Sparkling" Tiene el mismo
envase rojo y la misma tetra cursiva,
pero itiene el mismo gran sabor?
Sudan es el pais con mas piramides
del mundo (no Egipto)
Egipto y piramides son casi sinoni-
mos, pero Lsab(as que tambien hay
piramides en Sudan? Nubia, una re-
gion de Sudan, tiene 255 piramides,
iel doble de las de Egipto!
Tras gobernar la 25a dinastia de
Egipto, los faraones nubios huyeron
a Sudan y formaron el reino kushita,
incorporando la cultura egipcia en su
nueva ciudad.
Las piramides de Nubia no son tan
visitadas como las de Egipto.
Jebel Barkal es el mas gratificante
de los cuatro sitios principales. Las
piramides estan bien conservadas y
se encuentran junto a una pequena
montana. Suba a la montana justo an-
tes de la puesta de sol para disfrutar de
unas vistas impresionantes del Nilo.
El arco iris mas brillante
de Colombia esta en su rio
Normalmente, el arco iris se en-
cuentra en el cielo, pero el Cao Cris -
tales, tambien conocido como el "Rio
de los Cinco Colores, brilla mas que
cualquier arco iris del cielo.
Situado en el Parque Nacional Na-
tural Serrania de la Macarena de Co-
lombia, este impresionante rio debe
su belleza multicolor a la Macarenia
Clavigera, una planta que vive en
el cauce. Lo mejor es visitarlo entre
mayo y noviembre, cuando las hier-
bas del rio florecen en amarillo, azul,
verde y rojo. En esta epoca adquieren
tonalidades mas brillantes porque las
aguas son menos profundas, lo que
permite que la luz del sol Ilegue a las
plantas.
El desierto del Sahara
solia ser una selva tropical
LOtra vez el Sahara? Creeme, este
es extra genial.
El desierto del Sahara es conocido
por ser el mas caluroso del mundo.
Sin embargo, hace solo 6.000 anos,
esta tierra seca era una exuberante
selva tropical con una espesa vegeta-
cion y altas precipitaciones.
Aunque nosotros no hemos sido
testigos del Sahara en pleno apogeo,
las generaciones futuras podrian ha-
cerlo. Si el mundo sobrevive los proxi-
mos 10.000 anos, el mismo cambio
constante en los patrones climaticos
podria dejar al Sahara con un aspecto
muy diferente.
Macchu Pichu es una ciudad
a prueba de terremotos
Esta antigua ciudad inca descan-
sa sobre dos Tineas de falla en Peru.
Eso significa que los terremotos eran
eventos esperados. Asi que, icomo
vivieron a traves de ellos?
De hecho, los incas crearon una
brillante tecnica de ingenieria llama -
da "silleria", en la que las rocas se cor-
tan para que encajen perfectamente
entre s( sin mortero. Esto permitia
que las piedras se movieran en su
lugar durante un terremoto, antes de
asentarse de nuevo en sus posiciones
originales. iGenio o que?
China tiene un
solo huso horario
Tener una sola zona horaria esta
bien si el sol sale y se pone a la misma
hora para todos. Sin embargo, mien-
tras Beijing se prepara para irse a la
canna a medianoche, la gente de Xin-
jiang esta empezando a ver la puesta
de sol.
Esto es bastante sorprendente, te-
niendo en cuenta que China es casi
del tamano de Estados Unidos, que
tiene seis husos horarios. Curiosa-
mente, China no siempre funciono
con la hora de Beijing. La hora estan-
dar de Pekin no se establecio hasta
1949, una decision del presidente
Mao Zedong en nombre de la unidad
nacional.
Antes de eso, en 1912, habia cinco
zonas horarias reconocidas que esta-
ban entre cinco horas y media y ocho
horas y media por encima de la hora
de Greenwich.
Por suerte, trabajar en una zona
horaria no es mas que un leve incon-
veniente para los chinos. Sin embar-
go, los viajeros que planeen viajar con
su mochila por China deben prepa-
rarse para que sus relojes corporales
se confundan un poco.
El puente Golden Gate
de San Francisco"habla"
Este es uno de los hechos mas
novedosos del mundo. En junio de
2020, el querido puente Golden Gate
de San Francisco comenzo a hablar
sobre algunas modificaciones reali-
zadas en las barandillas del carril bici.
Literalmente.
iLos sanfranciscanos informaron
de que escuchaban sonidos espeluz-
nantes a varios kilometros de distan-
cia!
Las autoridades municipales ex-
plicaron que se trataba de vientos
fuertes que atravesaban las nuevas
barandillas. El puente es mas seguro
para los usuarios cuando se enfren-
ta a una menor resistencia al viento.
Por lo tanto, el sonido es una buena
sena) de que los fuertes vientos estan
pasando por el puente sin problemas.
Puedes hacer un
safari en Sri Lanka
Kenia no es la Unica experiencia de
safari: hay otro lugar mas cercano que
cuesta la mitad y que cuenta con su
propia fauna y flora.
A menos de cuatro horas de dis-
tancia, en la encantadora Sri Lanka,
se encuentra el propio safari de Asia.
En las Ilanuras abiertas del Parque
Nacional de Yala, podra ver elefantes,
leopardos e incluso ayes acuaticas.

of eamed retentions directly to an escrow
agent at the Contractor's expense. No such
substitutions shall be accepted until all related
documents are approved by the City Attorney.
TRADE NAMES OR EQUALS. Requests
to substitute an equivalent item for a brand
or trade name item must be made by written
request submitted no later than ten (10)
Calendar Days before the Bid submission
deadline. Requests received after this time
shall not be considered. Requests shall clearly
describe the product for which approval is
requested, including all data necessary to
demonstrate acceptability.
LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. Liquidated
damages shall accrue in the amount of $1,000
for each calendar day that Work remains
incomplete beyond the Project completion
deadline specified in the Contract Documents.
BIDDING PROCESS. The IWA reserves the
right to reject any Bid or all Bids, and to waive
any irregularities or informalities in any Bid
or in the bidding, as deemed to be in its best
interest.
