Many call the Pan-American Highway the longest road in the world, but there is a crucial detail in the form of the #Darién Gap which they are missing. Learn about the origins of the Ruta #Panamericana and the reasons why this mega-project hasn't been completed, and hopefully never will be.

It irks me to no end that North and South American road networks are not connected despite being part of the same landmass.

There are a lot of theories as why to this hasn't been done including pressure against it by the US government and Panamanian government.

I was wondering can they build an Ocean Road Crossing that would go around the Darien Gap? Like china have build Ocean crossing that has gone to Hong Kong.

Cerro de la muerte in Costa Rica has no unpaved parts since decades ago... The name containing the word death is because people died during its construction because temperatures drop below 32° Fahrenheit in the zone

@Bill-dj9hv 4 ай бұрын

I live less than a half a miles from the highway. The highway of death has been called that since the 1920s or before.

@@Dow_v97geographically Europe is at most a subcontinent of Asia. (Sometimes the whole continent is referred to as Eurasia) The only reason we count it as its own is because of culture. Russia is definitely Asia but is usually counted as Europe
