[@thhomasmarks]

Either hope, or insanity, The Darien gap is synonymous with tragic consequence and demise - a lone traveler has a very poor Chace of surviving such a perilous attempt. It is fraught with marauding gangs of drug smugglers, millitant fugitives and outcasts of society. Any presence is a threat to their cover, and sternly I'll advised. You are looked upon as spy, and frequently dispatched then and there, never to be heard of again, lest your skeletal remains be discovered months, or even years later, strewn across the jungle floor after having been ripped open, dismembered and consumed by Wild ravenous scavenging animals.

And we saw many people die or get deported in the way. out of a group of 10 cubans who where with us during the journey 2 of them are still very close friends with us and we meet for every Christmas/ birthdays/new year/ and thanksgiving because is like if we were a real family and each other is all we got in this country. The people in this video had it easy we didnt have anyfood aside for brown sugar and uncooked oatmeal we made with the water from the river. and my mom and i got our periods there and we didnt have supplies. it is important to not take everything for granted and be grateful for everything you have even if its just a little

Same. I'm half hispanic but was not ever really connected to those roots. I used to dismiss like everyone else "they broke the law" etc. I see these stories and realize I'd never get through this journey and only because of random luck of my great great grandfather migrating here is this not me or my family.

Do you have to have "things" to have a life. For thousands of years in history, people had nothing and lived off the land or farmed. How did they survived all these years? America is wealthy, so what. We also have an drug problem. Americans are depressed. We have high divorce rate. Just because you have things does not mean you have a life at all.

[@InternetHelper]

Fernando Scotelaro : Do you know how much they pay for this trip ? The Indian Punjabis pay 20 - 25 lakh Indian Rupee minimum and I can bet most of them had house as well all the basic facilities back in India but they are all misguided and fascinated ( idk the exact reason why they are leaving but according to a recent interview of a Punjabi guy who is been deported from USA said to India Today magazine that he is being cheated by the trafficker, he doesn't know the route was tough and he sold his house and property to pay the agent and he thought he can earn good money like his fellow neighbour NRI Americans who is living in USA and thereby he can have a luxurious life.

[@danielyruby8696]

Hi Brian. No, I'm not Latin. How I ended up in Colombia.? Well, the economy in the US a number of years ago was horrible. I was in my mid 40s then and I decided to take a trip. I had a friend I met on line who lived in Bogota and she invited me to visit a few years ago. So I took a plane from Detroit to Bogota and once I arrived here I knew I had to stay. I found another woman here in Bogota that I am in the process of going into business with. The cell/internet service is much slower than in the US, but it is still better than it was on my first trip years ago. Overall no complaints though, Am I going back to Detroit? Not anytime soon,... Oh by the way, I live in barrio Bosa in the south.

[@byrlink]

Daniel y Ruby Interesting story. I’m 40 and came to the US when I was 22. It’s funny how now some people are going from here to Colombia to visit or retire there. Venezuelans are also migrating massively to Colombia. Until a few years ago, and for many decades, it was extremely difficult to find some foreigner daring to even visit Colombia. We also lived in Bogotá, in the 80’s, in Engativá, right next to the airport, when that area was still the countryside. Then moved and grew up in Armenia, Quindío. Isn’t the Bosa area kind of dangerous, like Detroit is right now?

[@danielyruby8696]

Yeah, thats the sterotype here is the south is dangerous...However, I got robbed at gunpoint and at knifepoint in Parque Nacional close to Chapenero last April. Crime is all over regardless of the neighborhood. I will say this, I have yet to see anything as violent as Detroit here. Nothing close to the burned out neighborhoods Detroit offers, nor the murders. Maybe Palmira, close to Cali has violence like Detroit. But getting a cedula here is almost impossible unless you have serious money. Even getting married here is not easy. The Notarias have clamped down hard and make up excuses why not to approve papers. The term Byzantine is very fitting here regarding government regulations. Ive overstayed my tourist visa twice in the past 4 years and had to pay a 550,000 pesos fine each time. Seems to me its cheaper and easier to pay the fine than to be legal here....
