What has been called the Central american exodus in this 21st century, in fact was made up of several waves concentrated between 2005 and 2019. Sometimes crossing Mexico discreetly and clandestinely and other times in public caravans. The truth is that there have been different episodes starring minors as in 2014 and 2016, families as in 2019, religious caravans and other secular and politicized. This article offers a retrospective and synthetic overview of the main episodes supported by official statistics, hemerographic information and ethnographic material. With a microanalysis of the 2018 caravan that «evaporated» in Tijuana.

Keywords : Central american Migration; Mexico; USA; Tijuana; exodus.
