Tackling the Darien Gap

Tackling the Darien Gap

Quite simply, this was done the only way it could be. One cannot drive this impassable 70 or so miles of the PanAmerican Highway - the part between Panama and Colombia. Vehicles must be put on a container ship or “RoRo” carrier, and drivers and passengers must fly or sail between Panama and...
