Tens of thousands of migrants from around the world make the journey to the southern U.S. border through South America every year, crossing the roadless stretch of mountainous, inhospitable rainforest between the continents. Walking for several days in harsh climatic conditions, risking their lives and facing dangers of poisonous snakes and spiders, and drug-trafficking criminals, they are driven forward by their faith in the “American dream”. - Copyright © 2023 Jan Sochor Photography

Aerial silks, a type of performance art combining sport (gymnastics) with acrobatics and choreography, allows the aerialist to perform in three dimensions while hanging from a specialist fabric. Employing their strength and flexibility, they climb, wrap, and drop themselves in various aesthetic figures. With dance being a natural way of expression for many Latinas, all forms of aerial art and acrobatics have become increasingly popular in urban zones of Latin America in recent years. - Copyright © 2023 Jan Sochor Photography

Chontaduro, a palm tree native to humid tropical forests, has been grown by indigenous people in the Americas since ancient times. Today, the peach palms are often cultivated by smallholders in agroforestry farms in the Pacific lowlands of Colombia. Although chontaduro fruits must be cooked for a couple of hours before consumption, it is one of the most popular Colombian street foods, usually served with salt and honey. The pulp of a boiled chontaduro is dry and has a starchy flavor. Due to its richness in essential oils, unsaturated fatty acids, proteins, and high nutritional value, chontaduro is considered a superfood. - Copyright © 2022 Jan Sochor Photography
