🌎 The reason is the Darien Gap — a brutal 160 km wall of dense jungle, deadly swamps, steep mountains, and complete lawlessness. This hostile region blocks the Pan-American Highway, making construction nearly impossible and insanely expensive. But the terrain is only half the danger… 💀 The Darien Gap is controlled by smugglers, armed gangs, and criminal groups, turning it into one of the most dangerous places on Earth. Yet every year, thousands of migrants risk everything to cross this unforgiving jungle in search of a better life. Many don’t survive — lost to the wild, the weather, or the lawless chaos that rules this region. The Darien Gap remains an uncrossable barrier between North and South America… standing in the middle of what could have been the world’s longest continuous road 🌍🚫.
