Vanlife diaries #6: Red Rock Canyon & Valley of Fire

April 20, 2021

hi, I’m brooke!

I've spent the last decade exploring the world— everything from solo trekking in the Andes to overlanding in Zambia, all while completing a PhD in Biomechanics. In 2020, I finally fulfilled my dream of becoming a full-time nomad! Whether it’s vanlife in Mexico, scuba diving in the Galápagos, ticking off incredible US National Parks, or climbing in the Dolomites, I hope this blog will inspire your future adventures & help you find wonder in every corner of the globe. xx bb

  • WILD YAXCHILÁN 🌿🐒 The most incredible ruins in Chiapas, and some of the best I've seen in all of Mexico, are WAY out of the way— and that's exactly what makes them so spectacular. Driving hours into the jungle to the town of Frontera Corozal, you can hire a lancha (wooden boat) to take you 1hr up the Usumacinta River that divides Mexico and Guatemala, eventually delivering you to the base of the Yaxchilán ruins. Settled circa 350CE & at the height of its power from 600-800CE, Yaxchilán was once a massive urban centre and a dominant power in this region, largely thanks to its protected position right on the river’s curve that limited land access to the south side. Feeling like Indiana Jones, scramble up stone steps & root-laden paths to see the impressive ruins excavated in the middle of this seemingly impenetrable swathe of trees & vines. The name Yaxchilán means ‘green stones’ in a local Mayan dialect, which seems apt for a city that almost appears to grow right out of the jungle itself. Monkeys howl in the distance & munch on purple flowers by the fistful, completing the fantasy of being deep within the jungle, exploring something few eyes have seen. While Palenque is crawling with tourists, you can have Yaxchilán all to yourself 😍 . . . . . . . #mexico #travelmexico #vivamexico #exploremexico #chiapas #chiapasmexico #chiapasionate #chiapasmagico #mexicomagico #mexicolindo #yaxchilan #sancristobaldelascasas #adventurebabes #girlsgoneglobal #girlslovetravel #sheisnotlost #girlswhotravel #wearetravelgirls #mexicomagico #mexicomaravilloso
  • Wild & wonderful Chiapas 🇲🇽✨ I fell in love with this beautiful Mexican state during my van trip around Mexico last year-- even 20 states later, it's one of my favourite places in the whole country, an incredible jungle paradise full of wildlife & so much natural beauty, not to mention the rich indigenous heritage & colourful traditions preserved here. It's been such a treat to live in Chiapas for a few months & it's inspired me to go back through all my favourite parts of the state to finally share with you all! So, over the next couple weeks, I'm really excited to showcase some of the best waterfalls, most remote ruins, and unique experiences to enjoy in Chiapas. I hope it inspires your next trip to what is absolutely one of the most magical places in Mexico! . . . . . . . #mexico #travelmexico #vivamexico #exploremexico #chiapas #chiapasmexico #chiapasionate #chiapasmagico #mexicomagico #mexicolindo #sancristobaldelascasas #adventurebabes #girlsgoneglobal #girlslovetravel #sheisnotlost #girlswhotravel #wearetravelgirls #mexicomagico #mexicomaravilloso
  • BEST FOOD IN SAN CRIS, CHIAPAS 🌯✨ In a city renowned for its incredible food scene, I went on a personal mission to eat at 1 new restaurant EVERY day for the last 2 months in order to assemble a “best of” list for my blog!

  • A love letter to San Cris 💛 I moved to southern Mexico 2 months ago— to a town that held a lot of specific pain for me— feeling just about as broken as I’ve ever felt & so far from myself that I feared I wouldn’t be able to find my way back. But somehow, I did. Wandering these cobbled streets, reading in my sunny garden, dancing around the kitchen to loud music (& sometimes crying even louder), waking up in a place that’s become completely my own, I’ve felt things inside of me start to bloom again. Inspiration, creativity, passion, purpose. I spent more time truly alone in the last couple months than I ever have, going days on end without anyone’s company but my own— and I’ve started to reconnect with myself, to sift through all the feelings that were too big & too messy to grapple with while I was rushing around the world, to unearth pieces of me that I buried over the years just trying to survive bad situations. And I’ve learned to love those parts of me again. To find light in my shadows, peace in my pain, poetry in my rough edges. I’m moving out of my apartment in a week and there’s part of me that’s honestly scared to start travelling again, to allow other people into my days & into my life after carefully curating such a peaceful & solitary existence here in San Cris. But I also know I’m not the same girl I was when I came here. And I can’t be only me when I’m with me. I think it’s time to find my way back into the world again, into the chaos of new places & faces & challenges. But I will always, always be grateful for the place that taught me how to breathe again, showed me a path back to myself, and reminded me that I am so much greater than the things that happened to me. Te amo, San Cris 💛

  • LA CALAVERA CATRINA 💀👒💐 One of the best ways to get into Día de Muertos is to dress up in elaborate costumes— none more iconic than La Calavera Catrina, the elegant skull 💃🏻 The skull makeup so closely associated with Day of the Dead actually relates to a painting by Jose Guadalupe Posada more than a hundred years ago, later honoured (& largely popularised) in a mural by Diego Rivera. Depicting a well-dressed woman as a skeleton, the artwork was intended as a commentary on how death is the one common thread between the rich & poor, and regardless of material wealth, we are all skeletons in the end. This is the most popular costume for Día de Muertos and you can find stalls all over the city centre painting a million creative versions of La Catrina-- I paid 150p ($8) for makeup + 100p ($5) for my marigold crown. Another beautiful thing about this country— love & respect for its traditions are almost always enough to earn you an honorary seat at the table. Even foreigners are encouraged to dress up & paint their faces, often pulled close to celebrate with local families. It’s hard to remain a stranger in Mexico ❤️🇲🇽 . . . . . #diademuertos #díademuertos #felizdiademuertos #comparsas #lacatrina #oaxaca #oaxacabonito #etlaoaxaca #panteón #dayofthedead #méxico #vivamexico #mexicolindo #mexicotravel #mexicodesconocido

(Tip: Lago Internacional is just a short walk from Tziscao, so explore these together) 🎨 LAGUNAS DE COLORES: don’t miss these 5 lakes of varying colours (from bright green to deep blue) at the entrance to the national park! . . . . . . . #mexico #travelmexico #vivamexico #exploremexico #chiapas #chiapasmexico #chiapasionate #chiapasmagico #mexicomagico #mexicolindo #sancristobaldelascasas #adventurebabes #girlsgoneglobal #girlslovetravel #sheisnotlost #girlswhotravel #wearetravelgirls #mexicomagico #mexicomaravilloso

WILD YAXCHILÁN 🌿🐒 The most incredible ruins in Chiapas, and some of the best I've seen in all of Mexico, are WAY out of the way— and that's exactly what makes them so spectacular. Driving hours into the jungle to the town of Frontera Corozal, you can hire a lancha (wooden boat) to take you 1hr up the Usumacinta River that divides Mexico and Guatemala, eventually delivering you to the base of the Yaxchilán ruins. Settled circa 350CE & at the height of its power from 600-800CE, Yaxchilán was once a massive urban centre and a dominant power in this region, largely thanks to its protected position right on the river’s curve that limited land access to the south side. Feeling like Indiana Jones, scramble up stone steps & root-laden paths to see the impressive ruins excavated in the middle of this seemingly impenetrable swathe of trees & vines. The name Yaxchilán means ‘green stones’ in a local Mayan dialect, which seems apt for a city that almost appears to grow right out of the jungle itself. Monkeys howl in the distance & munch on purple flowers by the fistful, completing the fantasy of being deep within the jungle, exploring something few eyes have seen. While Palenque is crawling with tourists, you can have Yaxchilán all to yourself 😍 . . . . . . . #mexico #travelmexico #vivamexico #exploremexico #chiapas #chiapasmexico #chiapasionate #chiapasmagico #mexicomagico #mexicolindo #yaxchilan #sancristobaldelascasas #adventurebabes #girlsgoneglobal #girlslovetravel #sheisnotlost #girlswhotravel #wearetravelgirls #mexicomagico #mexicomaravilloso

Wild & wonderful Chiapas 🇲🇽✨ I fell in love with this beautiful Mexican state during my van trip around Mexico last year-- even 20 states later, it's one of my favourite places in the whole country, an incredible jungle paradise full of wildlife & so much natural beauty, not to mention the rich indigenous heritage & colourful traditions preserved here. It's been such a treat to live in Chiapas for a few months & it's inspired me to go back through all my favourite parts of the state to finally share with you all! So, over the next couple weeks, I'm really excited to showcase some of the best waterfalls, most remote ruins, and unique experiences to enjoy in Chiapas. I hope it inspires your next trip to what is absolutely one of the most magical places in Mexico! . . . . . . . #mexico #travelmexico #vivamexico #exploremexico #chiapas #chiapasmexico #chiapasionate #chiapasmagico #mexicomagico #mexicolindo #sancristobaldelascasas #adventurebabes #girlsgoneglobal #girlslovetravel #sheisnotlost #girlswhotravel #wearetravelgirls #mexicomagico #mexicomaravilloso

Wild & wonderful Chiapas 🇲🇽✨ I fell in love with this beautiful Mexican state during my van trip around Mexico last year-- even 20 states later, it's one of my favourite places in the whole country, an incredible jungle paradise full of wildlife & so much natural beauty, not to mention the rich indigenous heritage & colourful traditions preserved here. It's been such a treat to live in Chiapas for a few months & it's inspired me to go back through all my favourite parts of the state to finally share with you all!
