Sumario:The well-known "southern border of Mexico" represents a multivariable and multifaceted phenomenon that embodies a complexity due to its cross-border region characteristic. It is worldwide identified as one of the most important human corridors. In this article we present a study about this situation from two complementary approaches. In one hand, we performed a conceptual, theoretical and contextual study about what this space represents, in different scales, from regional to global perspective. On the other hand, we present a micro study that approaches the perceptions of people who live at the border region, with testimonies collected in the cities located along the Suchiate riverside (border between Mexico and Guatemala).
