La 72, a shelter for migrants and refugees on the outskirts of Tenosique, southern Mexico, near the Guatemalan border. As migrants make their way north, shelters like La 72 are small oases in which to recover, find information, and access a computer or a phone to contact their families. La 72 is near the tracks of a train to which − with ever greater difficulty − those who do not have the money for a bus, cling in the hope of more quickly making their way through Mexico. The train can take them to Mexico City, to Monterrey, or wherever there is a family member, a friend, or a job opportunity. For those still wanting to go to the US, it gets them closer to that.
