I’ve always been fascinated by the Darien gap.
There’s a TV show here in the Uk called “race across the world” and in last season they had to cross the gap. Was really hoping for racing jeeps and armed militia but sadly (and sensibly) they took a boat.
I thought this was a related or a supplementary story for the BBC programme shown across 6 episodes in March-April 2019, titled: Race Across The World. It featured a father-son team bonding over their experiences whilst travelling from London to Singapore on a budget of £2,000, without directly using modern technology or flights to reach their intended destination and competing with other teams.
