Wow, here’s some really interesting stuff on the Darien Gap, I gues you can’t really drive through there.
|
This area is a forbidding mountainous jungle on the Panama side; full of swamps, guerrillas, drug traffikers and kidnappers on the Colombian side, making travel through the area not just a struggle against a hostile environment but also a maze of bribing the right people for passage and ducking bullets.
In case you missed the dangers we just enumerated, here is an easy list to remember:
- tough nasty jungle with plenty of disagreeable wildlife.
- impenetrable swamps
- crazed drug traffikers
- pissed-off guerrillas
- greedy kidnappers (all of the guys mentioned above)
- paranoid government police
- no marked trails

Personally, I would stay away from dangerous jungles, but if you must, here’s a great guide on surviving out there.
Protect yourself from mosquitoes. Malaria has caused more deaths than all the wars in history combined and if you’re unlucky in the jungle, you might catch it too. In the jungle, using mosquito nets are the best way to prevent you from being bitten.
