What is the Darien Gap and why is it dangerous to travel there?
Nosharks
It is a thick primary rain forest that separates the PanAmerican highway. It is plagued with fighting between drug lords and Colombian guerillas. While it is possible to visit, it is highly not recommended. There have been massacres, kidnappings, and poaching going on in this unstable region. It is a large swampland/rainforest that receives about an inch a day of rain. It is also said to be the border between the Americas that is preventing two major diseases from entering the USA. Foot and Mouth disease and screw worm would have a major impact on the cattle industries if allowed to flourish past the Gap. It is also located between the borders of Colombia and Panama.

Some have attempted this by offroad vehicles, but there are no continuous roads.
