Crossing the hell of the Darién jungle


Dear readers,

In the first 10 months of 2024, over 280,000 migrants crossed the Darién jungle, including Venezuelans, Ecuadorians, and people from countries as far afield as Vietnam, DR Congo, and Afghanistan. EL PAÍS followed a group of these travelers as they made the treacherous journey, and shared their difficult stories.

We also looked at the furor sparked by Donald Trump's demands that Panama reduce the fees for U.S. shipping crossing the Panama Canal or return its management to the United States.

Other highlights from this week include an interview with 'Squid Game' director Hwang Dong-hyuk, a feature report into Colombia's mercenary network and an infographic special into whether it's possible to manipulate the weather.

We hope you enjoy this selection of articles from EL PAÍS USA Edition
