Summary/Abstract: This article analyzes the networks of collaboration and proximity that have emerged through the collective mobility of migrant caravans that transit through Mexico since October 2018. Based on a brief genealogy of the origin of this caravans and the renewed processes to containing them by the governments of Mexico and the United States, the importance of the resignation of the places of arrival and the networks of solidarity that have been consolidated by the numerous transits that have happened to the first Central American caravan of 2018 is shown. This research emphasizes the importance of/by/for migrants' care networks as a device that challenges the “migratory entrampment” (Parra, 2020). It was evident that the structural demand for care in the United States was a factor in the increase in these migrations.
