Out of Eden Walk is a long-term walking project initiated by National Geographic explorer Paul Salopek. The aim of the project is to retrace the footsteps of early human migration from Ethiopia to the southern tip of South America. In the United States, the walk passed through Columbus, New Mexico, where Salopek and his team documented the stories of migrants and border residents.

Columbus is a small town in Luna County, New Mexico, located near the US-Mexico border. It was the site of the Pancho Villa Raid in 1916, an event that marked a turning point in US-Mexico relations. Today, the town is known for its vibrant border culture, which has been shaped by the constant flow of people and goods across the border.

During his stop in Columbus, Salopek met with local residents and learned about their experiences living on the border. He also spoke with migrants who had recently crossed the border and documented their stories. Through the project, Salopek aims to explore the human condition and the universal themes that connect people across different cultures and time periods. The Out of Eden Walk provides a unique perspective on the world and the people who inhabit it.
