In May 2024, 25 550 movements were observed in Guatemala (15% children) and 385 individuals were surveyed.1 The number of observed movements increasd by 20 per cent from April 2024 (21 339), as the number of travellers from Central America transiting Guatemela, as well as the upcoming elections in Venezuela. 48 per cent of the total number of movements originated from the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. The main intended destination was the United States of America (94%).

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.
