Huayhuash Circuit (day 6): Cuyoc & Paso San Antonio to Laguna Juraucocha

November 22, 2019

Following a second ascent of Paso San Antonio for sunrise views, today’s hike takes us up and over Paso Santa Rosa and down to Laguna Juraucocha for a spectacular wild camp at the base of a glacier. Snow flurries in the early morning blanket the trail in white and greatly complicate the already challenging navigation, but the views we enjoy today are dramatic and completely wild, the unpredictable conditions only adding to the experience.

Trail stats: Cuyoc & Paso San Antonio to Laguna Juraucocha

Distance: 13.6km

Elevation gain: 1,300m

Highest elevation: Paso Santa Rosa 5,060m

Trail hours: 7.5hrs

Highlights: A snowy sunrise atop Paso San Antonio; sweeping views of Siula Grande and Laguna Juraucocha from Paso Santa Rosa; peaceful wild camping in front of the Jurau glacier

Campsite: wild camping at Laguna Juraucocha

When I wake up at 4.45am to climb Paso San Antonio for sunrise, there’s a fair bit of snow on the ground, but a promising cluster of stars that suggest the morning might be clear. I decide to risk it and set off with Marco for the second ascent in about 12hrs. No sooner are we across the pampa than our headlamps begin to catch on snowflakes, falling gently at first, but soon increasing to a small flurry. It doesn’t bode well for the view..

Without stops to strip off layers or enjoy a snack in the sun, we make it to the top of the pass in an hour (although I’m pretty sure Marco could run the entire thing in half that time if not waiting for this sea-level gringa to drag herself up). The sun is only just beginning to rise over the mountains and most of our view is obstructed by thick, angry-looking snow clouds, but the wind is absolutely pumping and it hardly takes anytime for a majority of the clouds to clear.

While we look on, cameras in hand, Yerupaja and Siula Grande materialise above Laguna Juraucocha. It may not have been the crystal-clear morning I was hoping for, but the view is possibly even more spectacular when you watch it emerge through thick clouds.

Back at camp just after 7am, the snow has dramatically increased and our tent now looks like a small prop in a giant snow globe. I eat breakfast inside the tent, hiding from falling snow, while debating the many route options for the day with dad and Eileen.

Given the almost total cloud cover that has accumulated since my hike to the pass, crossing Paso Santa Rosa at 5,060m is not as appealing as it would otherwise be. We contemplate hiking out towards Huayllapa, a tiny village just off the main route, as both the German couple and the guided group are doing, but in the end, we decide to tackle the pass despite the weather and find camp somewhere near the base.

We say goodbye to Marco and his group and the German couple and then set off around 9.30am in the direction that we believe to be Paso Santa Rosa. The current blizzard conditions prevent any degree of certainty and, as it turns out, completely obscure the correct route.

After 2.5hrs of what can only be described as wandering aimlessly along the snow-covered moraine in search of the trail, the clouds finally let up enough for us to see a faint trail in the distance. Using a combination of GPS and good old common sense (although this has admittedly failed us in the past), we determine that we are several kilometres off the desired pass, contouring along the scree-covered hillside until we finally get ourselves into the correct position. It is an enormous relief and we celebrate over an extended snack break, believing ourselves to be fairly close to the pass.

As it turns out, we have another 45min of climbing up to Paso Santa Rosa, having lost much of our vertical headway when we descended under a large rocky outcropping over to the correct pass. The silver lining of the morning’s confused stumbling, though, is that the snow has completely stopped, the sun is out, and much of the cloud cover has lifted from the mountains.

The result is an absolutely breathtaking view from Paso Santa Rosa, definitely one of the most stunning scenes we’ve seen during the whole trek thus far, and totally worth the late start.

In addition to being the high point of the trek at 5,060m (not counting the scramble to 5,080m that I did yesterday), Paso Santa Rosa, also called Paso Jurau, has got to be the single windiest place in the world. I am nearly bowled over during the last breathless steps up to the pass, cresting excitedly over the rocks only to be slammed by an enormous wall of wind that threatens to return me all the way back down to the valley floor.

Still, I sit directly in the centre of the pass, layered up in all my jackets, blissfully immune to the glacier winds and aware only of the incredible view stretched out in front of me. The peaks and lakes are the same as those seem from Paso San Antonio, but from a totally new vantage point that makes everything seem new.

Until dad and Eileen arrive, the only sound is the wild howl of the wind up the pass, an intense sound that completely strips away all other thoughts— it’s impossible to think of anything but this view or to imagine yourself anywhere other than on this pass.

Steep descent from Paso Santa Rosa

We enjoy a leisurely lunch at the pass (behind some rocks so our food doesn’t completely blow away) before beginning the long, steep descent towards Laguna Juraucocha. As promised by the guidebook, much of the trail is loose scree and other sections are even just loose dirt, neither of which provide any grip for our downhill journey.

Somehow we do eventually reach flat land, but the relief is short lived— we decide to skip the official campsite in Cutatambo and instead set up our tent near Laguna Juraucocha at the base of Jurau, which necessitates even more descending on rocks of all shapes and sizes. When we finally find the perfect spot for our tent, I could kiss the flat ground.

The rest of the evening in our impossibly scenic campsite is spent ogling the mountains and glacier that tower over us and wolfing down some dinner before passing out around 730pm from sheer exhaustion.

  • 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!
