- Flow Monitoring
In January 2024, 23,690 movements were observed in Guatemala (16% children) and 564 individuals were surveyed.1 The number of observed movements increased by 29 per cent from December 2023 (18,390) due to the usual declining trend in movements around end-of-year festivities. More than half of movements originated from the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela (53%). The main intended destination was the Unites States of America (87%).
Since 2022, migratory flows through the Latin America and Caribbean region have increased significantly, with record levels of persons crossing the perilous jungle of the Darién National Park from Colombia into Panama. The in-transit flows tracked in Guatemala have mirrored these regional migration trends.
