I’m traveling with a caravan of about 1,200 mostly Central American migrants traveling through Mexico. The group is being organized by Pueblos Sin Fronteras. It’s shaping up to be the largest one they’ve ever had. Here’s a clip from yesterday. 
Here’s a clip from yesterday morning. We’re on day three today. I’m also documenting it on IG @adolfof87
People getting on combis to get to the next stop.
The majority of the migrants are from Honduras. Organizers of the caravan believe they make up about 70% of the group. They’re followed by migrants from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Nicaragua.
Everyone is part of a group of about 10 people and five groups are put together to make a sector. Each with their own leaders and name like “Fuerza Unida,” “Unión Para La Familia,” and “Los Tigeres.”
I’ve met several people who are fleeing domestic abuse or other violence and hope to get asylum in the US. This woman is fleeing a husband with ties to gangs who threatened to have her killed after reporting him for domestic violence.
Her two oldest were born in Canada and she hopes to ask the country for some type of protection. Her youngest was born in Honduras.
A local at the town the caravan is arriving brought bread and ham for people.
There’s always really fun moments towards the end of the day.
On the move again.
Maria did a caravan with Pueblos Sin Fronteras last year but went back to El Salvador for her daughter (back left) and granddaughter.
The train arrived at our stop but it’s not the one the caravan is taking. They hope tomorrow they’ll be able to board.

Everyone is in for the night.
