Mexico park’s ‘illegal migrant border’

The Eco Alberto Park (Parque EcoAlberto) in the Mexican state of Hidalgo offers activities including kayaking, zipline and abseiling.

Controversially visitors can also try the Night Walk - experiencing what it is like to be an illegal migrant crossing the border from Mexico to the United States in a fake border crossing.

The people running the park say they want to use the Night Walk as a deterrent, warning people how dangerous illegal crossings can be and that staying in Mexico can offer a better life.
