Summary/Abstract: International migration, cultural diversity and social inequality have become the focus of debates on public policies, human rights and social inclusion at the national level, with Chile being one of the main destination countries for recent South-South migration, together with Colombia and Peru, states that currently concentrate the largest intra-regional migratory flow (IOM, 2021). In times when vulnerability and uncertainty resulting from the COVID context mark everyday life, transnational migrants continue to move in search of greater security and well-being, both South-North and South-South. Just as Latin American and Caribbean residents do in Chile, among whom the return to their countries and cities of origin has increased, others -mostly of Venezuelan origin- continue to arrive through the north of Chile.
