Crossing the hell of Darién

In the first 10 months of 2024, over 280,000 migrants crossed the barrier between Colombia and Panama, including Venezuelans, Ecuadorians, and people from countries as far afield as Vietnam, DR Congo, and Afghanistan. EL PAÍS delves into the jungle to follow these travelers, sharing their difficult stories and big dreams. Some are left behind along the way.
