An unseen crisis is unfolding in the Darién jungle. Beneath the dense foliage of this National Park, hundreds of thousands of people are on the move – risking their lives in search of safety and opportunity. This journey is one of the most dangerous in the world. Countless risks await those who attempt it. And yet hundreds of thousands of people do it every year. This is their story, and the story of the people who provide life-saving support to them. Echoes from the jungle has been produced by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), with funding from the European Union. A number of the photos in this exhibition were taken by photojournalist Federico Rios, who journeyed through Darién in 2022 and 2023 on assignment for the New York Times.
