For migrants, new access routes to Europe are opening up from South America. One of these routes crosses the region of the Darien Gap, the gateway to Central America, and the final passage before the United States.

Here, the forest is so dense that the Pan-American Highway, which spans the Americas from Alaska to Chile, is interrupted, in the jungle of Panama, starting up again in the north of Colombia.
 
At the end of an unimaginable odyssey, an increasing number of migrants cross this border - over 10,000 in 2015. And although nearly half of them are Cuban, they are now coming from much further afield – including Somalia, Cameroon, Ghana, Guinea, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal.
