This jungle is not only home to poisonous animals and dangerous currents, slippery paths and thorny bushes. There are also criminal gangs, rapists and human traffickers: the Darién Gap between Colombia and Panama is considered one of the most dangerous escape routes in the world. Nevertheless, hundreds of thousands of people cross this jungle every year. Men, women, entire families with small children. Their destination: the USA. The Darién is the only land connection to the north. Drug clans are turning necessity into a business, cashing in on the refugees. ARD correspondent Marie-Kristin Boese and her team accompanied the migrants for part of the route.
