The economic and political turmoil in Venezuela has led to a mass exodus of over 7.7 million Venezuelans since 2014, making it the largest migration in recent Latin American history. Many have settled in countries across the Americas, with Colombia hosting the majority of Venezuelan migrants.
In Colombia, Venezuelans like María Auxiliadora Añez and Ana Isabel Gómez have found new opportunities after leaving their homeland due to safety concerns and economic hardships. Añez now runs a Venezuelan food truck in Bogota, while Gómez operates a wellness center and aids her home country by sending medications from Colombia.
