LA BESTIA
URBAN ACTIVISM La bestia “The routes taken by undocumented migrants in their journey across the Mexican territory coincide with railroad routes. On these routes, the train is of vital importance. It is the means of transportation that carries thousands of undocumented immigrants to the north. But this is not an easy and free-of-charge trip, nor a danger-free one. On this train, which Central Americans call ‘la bestia’.” Carrasco, Gonzalo. Central American migration and its transit through Mexico to the United States. Mexico, 2005.
