En diciembre de 2011, tres periodistas emprendieron en un auto usado un viaje de 55 mil kilómetros por Latinoamérica. A los pocos meses decidieron centrar su reporteo en el tráfico de drogas, quizás el único fenómeno que cohesiona a toda la región. Hechos en el camino y en los rincones más inhóspitos de dieciocho países, estos reportajes reúnen los testimonios de quienes eligieron vivir fuera de la ley. Una crónica que muestra el lado no turístico del continente: la fuerza del crimen organizado, las fallas del Estado y los dramas humanos del poder corrompido por el dinero ilegal.

English Translation

Narco America: From the Andes to Manhattan, 55,000 Kilometers on the Trail of Cocaine

In December 2011, three journalists set out in a used car on a 55,000-kilometer journey across Latin America. Months into the trip, they chose to focus on drug trafficking, perhaps the one phenomenon that binds the entire region together. Reported on the road and in the most remote corners of eighteen countries, these chronicles gather the testimony of those who chose to live outside the law. The result is a hard look at the continent's non-touristic side: organized crime, failed states, and the human dramas born of power corrupted by illegal money. Welcome to Narco America.
