La grieta se estrechaba poco a poco. El camino era rocoso y por momentos en zigzag. Alrededor, las piedras tomaban un matiz rojo, caf\u00e9, gris, naranja y amarillo. Pero, luego de un kil\u00f3metro, el panorama cambiaba. Se oscurec\u00eda y al fondo, por una delgada entrada, una imponente luz rosada iluminaba el recorrido. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Nuestro gu\u00eda nos dijo. \u201cCierren sus ojos hasta cuando les avise\u201d. Est\u00e1bamos impacientes. Ya sab\u00edamos que est\u00e1bamos a metros de observar \u201cEl Tesoro\u201d. Avanzamos unos metros y los abrimos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lo hab\u00edamos visto en fotos por redes sociales, novelas e incluso en la pel\u00edcula Indiana Jones y la \u00daltima Cruzada. Ahora hab\u00eda sido nuestro turno. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Est\u00e1bamos en Petra, la ciudad rosa en medio del desierto jordano. La capital del reino Nabateo hace al menos 8 siglos (A.C.) y una de las nuevas Siete Maravillas del Mundo, desde el 2007. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Literalmente boquiabiertos, observ\u00e1bamos el Al khazna conocido como \u201cel Tesoro de Petra\u201d. Una edificaci\u00f3n esculpida literalmente en la roca, como lo es toda la ciudad antigua. Su magn\u00edfica fachada de 40 metros de altura, casi intacta, nos hace pensar que fue construida solo unos siglos atr\u00e1s. Pero, seg\u00fan los gu\u00edas, fue es la tumba de un fara\u00f3n en el siglo I (D.C.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Era un viaje al pasado o a la pel\u00edcula. Camellos, asnos, beduinos vendiendo artesan\u00edas y carretas con cabellos transportando a los turistas decoraban el sitio. De pronto, un letrero \u201cWifi\u201d nos regres\u00f3 a la realidad. Era el momento preciso para usar el snapchat, instagram o grabar en vivo para facebook. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Petra estaba en el \u201cbucket list\u201d de mi tour. Llegamos desde Autralia, Estados Unidos (Boston, San Francisco, New York, Chicago), Argentina, Paraguay, Espa\u00f1a y M\u00e9xico hacia Israel. Partimos desde Eilat a las 7am. Cruzamos la frontera hacia Jordania. Luego de 2 horas en bus y 2 horas de caminata lo logramos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      La entrada a la ciudad se realiza a trav\u00e9s del Siq, un estrecho ca\u00f1\u00f3n, de un kil\u00f3metro de longitud, rodeado por acantilados que se elevan hasta los 80 metros de altura. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      El alquiler de las carretas tienen un costo de 35USD aprox.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Desde el Al Khazna comienza la traves\u00eda dentro de Petra. Lo fascinante es observar toda una ciudad esculpida sobre la roca y que a medida que el sol se oculta se divisa un mosaico de colores. Por la erosi\u00f3n algunas edificaciones han perdido su forma, pero se nota la influencia de las culturas que vivieron en la ciudad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Desde, los pilares griegos del \u201cTesoro\u201d, el Teatro Romano, las tumbas con dise\u00f1os de pir\u00e1mides y la Tumba de la Urna que fue una iglesia Bizantina. Incluso con la modernidad, ya que los ba\u00f1os est\u00e1n equipados con secadoras de manos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        En la larga traves\u00eda nos acompa\u00f1aban los camellos. Una opci\u00f3n era pagar por subirte en uno, andar en carreta o simplemente gastar suela. Y la \u00faltima fue la decisi\u00f3n del grupo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Despu\u00e9s de 4 horas de camino, 3 botellas de agua, un gatorade y 800 escaleras excavadas en la roca, estaba la \u00faltima parada. El Monasterio Ad-Deir. M\u00e1s que el templo, la vista hacia el desierto te dejaba sin aliento. Y, pararte sobre la roca y extender tus brazos te hac\u00eda sentir el due\u00f1o del mundo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          De regreso, solo qued\u00f3 correr. En los tours de 1 d\u00eda no se puede visitar todo Petra. El tiempo es limitado y hab\u00eda que cruzar hacia Israel antes de las 8pm. Volv\u00ed al bus con la satisfacci\u00f3n de tachar de mi lista la fant\u00e1stica Ciudad Rosada. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          PARA ANOTAR:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          • Petra esta ubicada en a 240 Km. al sur de la capital de Jornadia, Amman, y 120 Km. al norte del Mar Rojo. <\/strong><\/em><\/li>
          • Para visitar Jordania se necesita visa, el cual se saca con antelaci\u00f3n en la embajada del pa\u00eds, o sin problemas en el mismo aeropuerto de Amman o en la frontera con Israel. El costo es de 60 USD. <\/strong><\/em><\/li>
          • La moneda de Jordania es el Jordan Dinar (JD) equivale a 1.41 dollar americano (USD). <\/strong><\/em><\/li>
          • La entrada tiene un valor de 50JD si es por un dia y 55JD por dos. Es aconsejable estar dos d\u00edas para poder recorrer la extensa zona. <\/strong><\/em><\/li>
          • En mi caso, eleg\u00ed un tour que parti\u00f3 desde Eilat, Israel. El costo fue de 216 USD. Ellos te recogen al hotel y tramitan la visa para cruzar la frontera. www.tourisisrael.com <\/strong><\/em><\/li>
