Guatemala – Flow Monitoring Report 13 (1 - 30 June 2024)

In June 2024, 20 807 movements were observed in Guatemala (13% children) and 247 individuals were surveyed. The number of observed movements decreased by 19 per cent from May 2024 (25 550). This is a result of the increase in patrols along the Mexico–Guatemala border as well as increased insecurity in some parts of Guatemala, pushing migrants to use alternative routes.46 per cent of the total number of movements came from the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.  

91 per cent of the surveyed population noted that the United States of America was their intended destination. 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.
