Share

This is part three of a five-part series following the harrowing journeys of migrants who risk their lives crossing the Darien Gap and riding atop Mexico's notorious 'Train of Death.'

Follow my journey across Mexico in this interactive map below, from the very eastern border to the far west, and an emotional reunion with two young girls we rescued in the jungle.
