The migration experience of people in the Soconusco region of Chiapas is heterogeneous. Some decide to wait in the city of Tapachula while they make their request for international protection and migratory regulation, others advance along the coastal highway under the inclement weather of the region, the sieges of the state police, the National Guard, agents of the National Migration Institute (INM), prosecutors and non-state actors. The scenario is constantly changing. This article analyzes these "walkers", their forms of transit, the role of information and the experience accumulated in the journeys that will serve as orienting axes for the "others". It also presents the migratory economy that emerges from the presence of these groups of migrants in the region. The text is based on the ethnographic record and interviews with "walkers" and local inhabitants, in a journey that goes from the Suchiate River to Arriaga, in the state of Chiapas, in staggered observations in the years from 2022 to the beginning of 2024.
