Hiking the Overland Track (day 4): Pelion to Kia Ora

January 18, 2019

Now officially halfway through the Overland Track, we have an easy day on the trail as we make our way from Pelion Hut to Kia Ora. The more ambitious among us are capitalising on the short day to summit Mt Ossa, Tassie’s highest peak, but earlier injuries prevent me from ascending beyond the saddle. Although it may not come with any of the bragging rights, the views of the surrounding landscape are still spectacular from this point, and make a wonderful addition to what is a relaxed fourth day on the Overland Track.

Trail stats:  Pelion to Kia Ora

Distance: 10.6km including climb to the saddle between Mt Doris and Mt Ossa

Trail hours: 4hrs including climb to the saddle between Mt Doris and Mt Ossa

Highlights: Strolling amongst mountains with views in every direction; aerial views of Pinestone Valley and Mt Ossa from the saddle; refreshing creek at Kia Ora Hut

Lunch spot: Pelion Gap

Campsite: Kia Ora Hut (tent platforms)

Sunny morning on the Overland Track

Cal and I wake up to the sound of dad and Eileen rolling out of camp, intentions set on summiting Mt Ossa during their journey towards Kia Ora. At 4-5hrs return and with plenty of rocky scrambling not unlike the terrain that led to my ankle sprain on Cradle Mountain, we have wisely decided to give this side trip a miss— although that doesn’t mean I’m not extremely heartbroken to be missing out on climbing Tasmania’s highest peak.

Over an hour later, after an extremely leisurely pack up of our own campsite, Cal and I hit the trail with Dov, our Arizonan-turned-Sydneysider mate who provides an endless rotation of discussion topics for our ascent. Much of the first section is gradual uphill, but becomes a climb in earnest around midmorning. Still, Dov is completely undeterred by the increasing incline and the rocky trail, continuing to share details of his upcoming travels and debate the merits of Australia vs America until we reach Pelion Gap in what feels like no time flat. It’s truly amazing how conversation can distort time on the trail, and we are all pleased to find ourselves halfway through the day so quickly.

At Pelion Gap, there are paths off in either direction for those wishing to climb Mt Pelion East or Mt Ossa, and most of the group from our hut last night is sat down here enjoying a snack in the sun and chatting with one another. We eagerly join in, hungry already after the morning’s walk, but soon decide to head off in search of the views that are apparently spectacular from the saddle between Mt Doris and Mt Ossa. The trail is almost all boardwalk, which makes for an unchallenging walk in terms of my ankle, but the aggressive incline is still plenty demanding in terms of our lungs. As we climb upwards, mostly on stairs, we wrap around Mt Doris and eventually find ourselves right in between the two mountains, views every bit as spectacular as promised.

From this point, we can look up at Mt Ossa and even see little specks of colour moving up towards the summit. It’s an impressive mountain, but the route honestly doesn’t look as long as we know it to be. We very nearly continue onwards towards the summit, and it is only the knowledge that the trip is 4-5hrs that forces us to turn around and trudge back to Pelion Gap to retrieve our packs.

Having already completed the entirety of today’s uphill, we have only flat sections and what we believe to be gradually downhill sections (according to the topo map) for the remainder of the day. As we set off, it truly is very gentle, but of course it soon morphs into rocky steps that seem to have been built for giants. It’s like jumping off a cliff every time we need to travel down a single step, so there is considerable angst until we finally reach the boardwalks that we had been expecting the entire time. Despite all of Cal’s wingeing, it’s only a little over an hour before the hut comes into sight and Dov calls out to us from the porch.

We set up our tent and then follow another hiker down to the little waterhole right near the hut, hopping in with a mother and daughter from Tassie who are also enjoying a chilly mountain shower. As cold as it is, it’s the ultimate relaxation after a hot day on the trail, so we hang around as long as our freezing fingers will allow. Back in the tent, we have a little lay down before the parents arrive from their Mt Ossa ascent and then we all head inside for a delicious dinner of bolognese and our final bottle of red wine. This hut is much smaller than last night’s, so we eat dinner shoulder to shoulder with our fellow hikers, and I almost like it better, the entire hut engaged in one giant conversation and everyone shouting across the tables at each other.

  • BEST LAKES TO VISIT AT LAGUNAS DE MONTEBELLO 🇲🇽✨

Lagunas de Montebello is a gorgeous national park in southern Chiapas, right on the border with Guatemala— with 59 amazing lakes, how do you choose which to see?! 

🤩 CINCO LAGOS: interconnected series of lakes visible from a mirador (Tip: if you walk down to the lakes, you can hire a small boat to visit interesting natural features, including a cenote!)

🛶 LAGO POJOJ: one of the prettiest lakes, with abundant flowers & a small island in the middle, which you can visit by kayak or wooden raft!

🐎 LAGO MONTEBELLO: somewhat underwhelming lake from which it’s super easy to organise horse riding tours into the surrounding forest to see additional hidden lakes!

🏕 LAGO TZISCAO: large & very deep lake with plentiful camping & cabañas, and one of the only spots where you’re permitted to launch your own kayak/SUP!

🇬🇹 LAGO INTERNACIONAL: the international border between Mexico & Guatemala runs right through the middle of this little lake, and it’s even possible to walk across to Guatemala & explore a lively market! (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!

  • 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 😍

  • 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!

  • 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 ❤️🇲🇽

BEST LAKES TO VISIT AT LAGUNAS DE MONTEBELLO 🇲🇽✨

Lagunas de Montebello is a gorgeous national park in southern Chiapas, right on the border with Guatemala— with 59 amazing lakes, how do you choose which to see?! 

🤩 CINCO LAGOS: interconnected series of lakes visible from a mirador (Tip: if you walk down to the lakes, you can hire a small boat to visit interesting natural features, including a cenote!)

🛶 LAGO POJOJ: one of the prettiest lakes, with abundant flowers & a small island in the middle, which you can visit by kayak or wooden raft!

🐎 LAGO MONTEBELLO: somewhat underwhelming lake from which it’s super easy to organise horse riding tours into the surrounding forest to see additional hidden lakes!

🏕 LAGO TZISCAO: large & very deep lake with plentiful camping & cabañas, and one of the only spots where you’re permitted to launch your own kayak/SUP!

🇬🇹 LAGO INTERNACIONAL: the international border between Mexico & Guatemala runs right through the middle of this little lake, and it’s even possible to walk across to Guatemala & explore a lively market! (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!

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 😍

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 😍

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!
