Photojournal: El Gusano, a living ghost town

Cipriano Paris is one of the few men his age left. Most of the others are in the US.

It is a route Cipriano himself has taken. He worked for 18 months in Texas as a roofer, earning enough money to modernise his home.

Because wages are so low and the prices so poor for the corn he produces, Cipriano knows that he might one day have to try to return to Texas.
