The Pan-American Highway is a 19,000-mile road route from Prudhoe Bay in Alaska to Ushuaia, Argentina. The route is continuous except for a small missing section on the southern border of Panama often referred to as one of the most inhospitable places on the planet: the Darién Gap.
The Pan-American Highway is a 19,000-mile road route from Prudhoe Bay in Alaska to Ushuaia, Argentina. The route is continuous except for a small missing section on the southern border of Panama often referred to as one of the most inhospitable places on the planet: the Darién Gap.
The Darién Gap is 66 miles without roads consisting of mountainous jungle, swamp, armed guerillas, drug traffickers and deadly creatures covering the border of Panama and Colombia.
The Fer-de-lance (Bothrops asper) pit viper is one of the most venomous creatures in the Darién Gap. They’re irritable, fast-moving and large enough to bite above your knees. Antivenom usually solves your problem if you get bitten but if left untreated the venom can cause local necrosis (death of body tissue) leading to gangrene or death.
