This is a project related to migration in Latin America through the Darien Gap, both on the Colombian and Panamanian sides. This migratory route has become one of the busiest in recent years where migrants of different nationalities such as Venezuelans, Ecuadorians or Haitians flee the misery of their countries in search of the American dream. Even so, this route is not easy, since the passage through the Darien jungle is full of dangers such as inclement weather, assaults by armed groups and in general the hardness of the road that can be lengthened for more than ten days.
