More than half of surveyed individuals originated from the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela (63%). The main intended destination was the United States of America (90%).
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.
