Venezuelan families made destitute by Colombia�s coronavirus lockdown
are walking a thousand miles or more across the Andes to get home.

Nicolas Maduro�s Venezuela might be undergoing one of the deepest
economic slumps in modern history, but it�s still preferable to sleeping
in a park in Medellin, or under a bridge in Bogota, which are now the alternatives for many migrants.

When the crisis started last month, Joe Urbaneja, 45, lost his $10-a-day
job in a workshop in Popayan, in southwest Colombia. He set out on foot
again, hiking up and down the same sweltering valleys and wind-swept
peaks he crossed in the other direction a year earlier.
