In this week's episode, I reflect on four recent visits to
the town of Capurgana on the Caribbean coast of the department of
Choco. Capurgana is one of the jump-off points for migrants to
begin the infamous and dangerous trek through the Darien jungle to
Panama en route to their final destination of the United
States.
In this episode, I relate my attempt to gain access to the migrant
camp in Capurgana, my brief meeting with some members of the Clan
del Golfo crime syndicate, finding two migrants from Togo and
observing the arrival of people from Bangladesh, Pakistan, India,
China and Somalia.
