But they did not suspect that their enemies were following their footsteps and were waiting for the right opportunity to catch them.
Once in Central America, Joaquín Guzmán Loera searched for Herrerías, leader of drug trafficking in Guatemala, to offer him a society.

The DEA decided to the operation of capturing El Chapo when they learned that he had 5 tons of cocaine and could be the largest seizure in Central America. In an unexpected move, Guzmán Loera was surprised by the anti-drug agency and while cornered, his only choice was to return to Guatemala.
With the failure of his large business in El Salvador, the Mexican capo asked to speak with Herrerías, with the purpose of requesting his entry into the ranks of his organization and starting from scratch. But his enemies had already closed all doors so, his capture was imminent.
Lieutenant Rosado, head of Guatemalan army, met him in a fake meeting with Herrerías and arrested him. When he was surrounded, El Chapo offered him a million and a half dollars in exchange for his freedom. The lieutenant accepted the bribe, but did not step back in his decision and gave noticed to the president about the capture of the most wanted drug trafficker.
The Mexican president was notified immediately of such apprehension, and thanked the Government of Guatemala for its cooperation. Amado learned of the arrest too, knowing that El Chapo was finished, Amado believed that he could continue dominating the drug trade without opposition.
