Throughout the mid-1980s to mid-1990s, the band had a number of Billboard 200 chart hit albums such as 1986's De Guanajuato...Para America![2] with hit song, "Amor Sin Palabras" ("Love Without Words"). Tragedy struck Los Caminantes when Martín was killed in a bus accident. In the same year a tribute album, 1987's Gracias Martin, was dedicated to him.[3]

A few years later they filmed a movie, 1990's Caminantes...Si Hay Caminos, starring as themselves.[4]

Los Caminantes are commonly referred to as Los Chulos, Chulos, Chulos to the public. A nickname given by a disc jockey circa the De Guanajuato...Para America! era. As they were seen wearing formal tuxedos, "¡Llegaron Los Chulos, Chulos, Chulos!" ("Los Chulos, Chulos, Chulos have arrived!").

The band have recorded over 30 albums throughout their career span and had numerous song collaborations with high-profile regional Mexican acts (Diana Reyes, Patrulla 81, Polo Urías y su Maquina Norteña, Banda Pachuco, etc).

Los Caminantes continue to record and tour throughout the United States, Mexico and Central America. Frontman Agustín Ramírez died on October 26, 2022.[5] His sons, Agustín Jr. and Anthony, continue on with the band.
