El Faro de Punta Canoa y el burro grosero

Por: Eduardo Pertuz

¿Conoces el Faro Marítimo en Punta Canoa? me preguntó José Carlos, le respondí:  -dame este fin de semana y te cuento- así fue, fuimos al corregimiento de Punta Canoa, a 16 kilómetros de Cartagena, por posición geográfica esta zona es un cabo llamado Punta Canoa donde está el corregimiento que lleva su mismo nombre, bellos paisajes y grandes proyectos inmobiliarios se vislumbran allí.  

El Faro de Punta Canoa es fundamental para la navegación marítima en Cartagena, tiene una altura de 14 metros, en lo alto de una montaña, su luz llega a verse hasta a 11 millas náuticas (21 kilómetros). No soy ingeniero, pero creo que está en riesgo de caerse porque alguien le socavó alrededor de la base. Avanzamos desde el pueblo en una trocha en mal estado, hay una parte llena de cráteres, cosa que me encanta para poner a prueba el sistema de tracción de la camioneta, el camino conduce a una playa solitaria, inmensa y agreste, regresamos por donde mismo ingresamos hasta el punto de acceso al faro, dicho faro es administrado por la Dirección General Marítima y Portuaria (DIMAR). Dejamos la camioneta en la trocha e ingresamos caminando unos 300 metros en ascenso, encontramos una veta de fósiles marinos de millones de años que la lluvia expuso. La zona es el típico bosque seco tropical, muchas aves y vegetación espesa. Allí, encontré una enredadera que no he podido identificar, el fruto y la hermosa flor son parecidas al maracuyá, posiblemente es una variante de la Passiflora incarnata, que es más conocida.

Al llegar al faro, queda uno maravillado con el paisaje, acantilados, playas vírgenes, una vista en 360 grados donde se ve la inmensidad del océano. Nos tomamos tiempo para contemplarlo, hasta pude imaginarme una escena de novela como en el libro: “Cumbres Borrascosas” de Emily Brontë, donde Cathe en una noche tormentosa cerca al acantilado, con su vestido ventoso gritaba un largo: Heathcliff, su amado, mientras el Faro de Flamborough Head competía con la luz de las centellas. 

Este recorrido puede ser turístico por lo hermoso y agreste porque son evidentes las falencias en el pueblo. Espero que los turistas no se topen con el “burro grosero”, veníamos conversando sobre la experiencia que acabábamos de vivir, cuando un burro sogueado se paró frente a la camioneta, no era el típico leñero, cabizbajo, orejas caídas y triste; este era un burro altivo, con su cabeza en alto, orejas puntiagudas, brioso y en actitud arrogante, como de buscapleitos, me dije; este burro me va  joder el carro…dicho y hecho, tiró como a morder, empecé a dar reversa, como estaba sogueado sabía que no tenía mucho alcance, me persiguió hasta que se dio la vuelta, se impulsó con las patas delanteras y soltó una patada fuerte, parecía un rayo y por poco parte las farolas de mi vehículo,  ¡Hijueputa burro este! se cree un caballo salvaje, la verdad sea dicha y sin pena: un solo burro hizo retroceder a 250 caballos de fuerza de la Ford Bronco. 

Ahora sí, José Carlos, no sólo conocí el Faro de Punta Canoa sino también al “Burro grosero”. Pese a que, me puso en correndillas, hizo graciosa la maravillosa aventura.

  5. Getting started at a mobile casino is quick and easy, especially on sites that are properly optimised for
    smaller screens. Table games like blackjack and roulette also work well,
    while live dealer games can feel more demanding because they rely on stable streaming and stronger connections.
    Mobile pokies are usually the easiest casino games to play on mobile because they load quickly and fit neatly onto smaller screens.
    In those cases, cryptocurrency has become one of
    the most practical choices for mobile play. A good mobile cashier should be simple to navigate, clearly display available methods, and allow you to move from deposit to gameplay without delays.
    The best mobile casinos support payment methods that are
    quick and easy to use on your phone, but the experience can vary depending on the options
    available. These offers usually come as free spins
    or small bonus balances, and they are useful if you want to test
    how well a casino performs on mobile before committing real money.

    Most modern mobile casinos offer built-in features for safe gaming.
    A well-built mobile casino should make basic account details,
    security information, and banking terms easy to find rather than burying them
    behind menus. Mobile casinos can be safe for real-money play, but only if
    the operator is properly licensed, uses secure encryption, and handles payments and account access transparently.

    For Australians, choosing a mobile casino licensed by
    a recognised authority means playing at a platform that’s passed rigorous compliance checks
    and is held accountable for its operations. Mobile pokies are built for quick sessions,
    with bigger buttons, swipe-friendly features, and clean layouts that work on any screen. All casinos
    listed on this page were tested on mobile devices to ensure reliable performance, fair gameplay, and compatibility with Australian payment methods.

    At NoDepositKings, you’re guaranteed access to easy
    mobile navigation and seamless gaming because we’ve filtered
    out all the sites that don’t make the cut. If a casino makes these tools hard to
    find, that is usually not a good sign. It helps to set spending limits,
    take breaks, and use built-in responsible gambling tools
    when available. Playing on a phone does not, by itself, make a casino less secure, but it does
    make it easier to rush through registration or skip checking the terms.

    A mobile site can look polished at first glance, but if the cashier is confusing or the country restrictions are
    not clear, that is where the problems usually start.

    Trusted mobile casinos AU use SSL encryption and advanced
    security measures to protect both personal and financial data while playing real money mobile casino games.
    Australian mobile casinos offer mobile pokies, table games,
    and live dealer games identical to desktop platforms, providing
    a consistent gaming experience across devices.
    Older titles (pre-2018) sometimes lack mobile optimization, particularly those built
    on Flash technology. Pokies dominate Australian mobile casinos,
    accounting for 70%+ of gameplay. These may contain malware or modified apps designed to steal your information. Some
    mobile casinos offer Android apps via direct APK download.
    Most listings are social casinos or offshore apps that don’t accept AUD.

    Enjoying mobile casinos should always be fun, safe, and under
    your control. Australian players can enjoy mobile casinos confidently,
    knowing every game is safe and fair. Native apps provide smoother performance, push notifications
    for bonuses, and quick access to live dealer
    games. Unlike traditional desktop platforms, these apps are optimized for touchscreens, fast loading, and seamless navigation, ensuring that your mobile casino gaming
    experience is uninterrupted.

    Most apps you’ll find are “social casinos” that don’t pay
    real money. They offer the same gaming experience as native
    apps without the storage requirements, security risks, or update hassles.
    These work directly in your browser without
    any download, yet can be added to your home screen for
    app-like access. However, due to gambling regulations, very few Australian mobile casinos offer true
    native apps in these stores. A large selection of pokies, live casino titles, and crypto-friendly games optimised
    for mobile play.
