The desire and desire to get to Chile ended in the early hours of this Tuesday for Alberto Perea Flores, 32, who was found dead near Pisiga Carpa, near the Colchane Integrated Border Complex (border with Bolivia).
The foreigner was found in a police patrol at averaging 6:00 this day. According to medical reports from the neighboring country, it is known that the cause of death was due to altitude sickness and hypothermia.
Perea Flores was heading from the Bolivian side to Chile. He was identified because he found it with his passport, but without any other type of objects, so it is suspected that other people traveling through illegal steps took their belongings.
With the death of the Colombian migrant, there are three deaths in that area so far in 2022 and number 23 in the last year (counting from February 2021). The economic crisis in different countries of the continent forces many to take risks to reach Chile through unauthorized routes. Some make it, but others find death like Alberto Perea.
