Early morning view over the gang-controlled area of Chamelecón of San Pedro Sula, a hell hole where even the Police and Army are afraid to enter, where many have lost their homes, been abused, taxed, robbed and have perished, all at the hands of gangs. This was the last sight of the city for another migrant caravan departing from the city. Migrants walked and hitchhiked on their way to the border points. Most went to Aguas Calientes in Ocotepeque, some went to El Florido in Copán. It was reported that nearly 1,700 Hondurans were registered at the border crossings in Guatemala, more than 300 of them were returned from the Honduras side because of deficiencies in the legality of their paperwork.
