    Gold in Editorial / Photo Essay

The Latidoamerica project documents the axis of uncontrolled violence in Central America and the social and political factors that they generate. Considered one of the most violent places on earth. Every day, in cities such as San Salvador, Guatemala City, San Pedro Sula or Tegucigalpa, murders, robberies and violence are increasingly present. The ineffective policy of the area is unstable, drug trafficking to the US. It is uncontrollable and the unsafe neighborhoods of Maras or border control with the Zetas are the closest thing to a daily war.
