Mostly Haitian Migrants Heading To U.S. Border Continue Crossing Treacherous Darien Gap

DARIEN GAP, COLOMBIA - OCTOBER 18: Immigrant families, most from Haiti make one of dozens of river crossings on the first day of their trek on October 18, 2021 through the Darien Gap, Colombia. The 66-mile passage through dense rainforest and mountains is considered the most difficult stretch for migrants traveling from South America to the United States. Guides accompany them on the two-day trek to the border with Panama, after which they are on their own for an additional several day hike when they are most vulnerable to bandits and other hazards on the trail. More than 70,000 migrants have traveled through the Darien Gap this year, according to Panamanian authorities. Most of the migrants in recent months have been Haitians, many of whom had been living in Chile and Brazil since the 2010 Haitian earthquake. The Darien Gap, which connects North and South America, is where the Panamerican Highway was never completed due to severe terrain, high cost and myriad environmental concerns.
