A surge of migrants from around the world has begun arriving at the US’s southern border, some having traveled thousands of miles to get there. For many, the most dangerous part of their journey is a 60-mile stretch of lawless jungle connecting Colombia and Panama called the Darien Gap. We take you along as VICE on Showtime correspondent Paola Ramos follows the journey of migrants traveling through the Darien.

This episode was produced by Adreanna Rodriguez.
