Special Report

##FOR CAMINANTES PROJECT WITH ANDREA CASTILLO, DO NOT PUBLISH UNLESS CONTACT MARY COONEY FOR PERMISSION## Seven miles from Cúcuta, Valentina Durán felt lightheaded and as she carries her month-old son, she takes refuge along the side of the road under the shade of a large tree on Route 55 near Cúcuta, Colombia, on May 6, 2019. She had been diagnosed with low blood pressure and malnutrition. Cargo trucks would whizz past, spraying dust that would get stuck to her skin. The boy lets out a whimper. “I know, love, I know,” she cooed. “Don’t cry.” Each day an estimate of 5000 people flee Venezuela. They simply walk out. The departure of the caminantes, or walkers, began slowly in 2017 with young men hoping to find jobs and send money home. By this year, women and children, the sick and the elderly had also decided to take their chances, expanding an exodus that already is one of the biggest mass migrations in modern history.
