@thefactile: The Road That Vanishes Between Two Continents 🌍❌ Did you know it’s actually impossible to drive from North America to South America by road? 🌎 The reason is a 160 km stretch of untouched wilderness called the Darien Gap 🌳. It’s a brutal mix of jungles, swamps, and mountains that breaks the Pan-American Highway—the road that’s supposed to connect both continents. Building through here isn’t just hard, it’s nearly impossible and insanely expensive 💸. The environment is unforgiving, with heavy rain, extreme humidity, and thick forests. But the biggest danger isn’t nature—it’s the people. The Darien Gap is known as a lawless zone, controlled by smugglers, criminals, and armed groups 💀. Still, thousands of migrants risk their lives trying to cross it every year, chasing a better future. Sadly, many never make it, lost in the wild or trapped by the dangers that rule this no-man’s-land. To this day, the Darien Gap remains one of Earth’s last true barriers, cutting off what could’ve been the world’s longest continuous road 🚫. #dariangap #panamericanhighway #northamerica #southamerica #dangerousplaces
