What roadless, marshy region of dense jungle on the border of Panama and Colombia creates the only break in the Pan-American Highway?
Show answer
Darien Gap
The Darién Gap is a roughly 60-mile stretch of roadless rainforest, wetlands, and mountains between Panama and Colombia that interrupts the Pan-American Highway. Crossing it can expose travelers to steep terrain, strong rivers, natural hazards, robbery, trafficking, and other violence.
