The González family prepares to leave the Casa del Migrante shelter where they stayed for a week to move to a hotel in downtown La Paz on August 28, 2021. Meanwhile Hector Teran, third from left, stays behind to prepare for the next leg of his journey to Chile. The initial plan for both families when they left their homes in the city of Guanare, in northwestern Venezuela, was to get to Paraguay together. But after a week in La Paz, the two groups separated after one month of traveling. Teran’s family continued their journey while the González family decided to remain in La Paz.
