Posted by jemsrenz on December 11th, 2017

Explore the pinnacle of the jungle experience when in the jungles of Central America when you are exploring the remote and road less Darien Gap region between the countries of Panama and Columbia. Mainly a hot bed of drug Trafficking and treacherous jungle, this is not a place for the faint-hearted. Since there is no connecting road that goes through the gap, this is one of the few places where the Pan-American Highway has a gap in the road. It may be termed as the missing link on the road connecting North America with South America. This region which is both famous for its beautiful jungle canopy and astonishing natural beauty, is also infamous for the dangers that it poses to all unwary travellers. With green rainforests, rivers which seem to go on without pause and the people who populate the region, the Darien Gap is truly one of the natural wonders of the world. Trekking in the Darien should be a well thought out endeavour which should be undertaken with the utmost caution. Travel around either on foot or by dugout canoe, through the wilderness and take in the most amazing sights and sounds. Trekking in the Darien is a once in a lifetime opportunity that will make you long for more.

Travel to a place which seems stuck in time

Hiking in the Darien is an experience for the senses. The region may be relatively lawless and exceedingly dangerous, but a trek through it is something that will stick with you for a lifetime. Without a road to guide you through, the trek will be through the jungle itself and often times on the rivers going through the area. The local tribes are, for the most part, quite friendly and are also a welcome sight while trekking through the wilderness. The dangers are varied and diverse and so are the sights and sounds that will mesmerise you and leave a lasting imprint. You can even use off-road vehicles which are the best motorised way to get around so that effort can be reduced while on foot. Also, you can view the ill-fated attempts by people to colonize this wild area which ultimately failed to leave a lasting legacy on this land. Embrace the danger and the beauty when you trek through the wilderness that is the Darien Gap.
