America It is a huge, long and wide continent and many adventurers dream of traveling in a car going from one end to the other, from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego. Well, many have done it but at least part of it you can do by following the path of the Route or Pan-American Highway. It is a road of more or less 48.000 km long connecting almost all countries, 13 in total. The idea arose in 1923 in a congress of American states and continued to be projected in the following years.
As of today it is almost completed and arrives to Patagonia from Alaska. More than a single route, it is actually a system of highways that come together to create a path through America. The only sector where this union has not been possible is a journey of almost 90 km through the jungle between Panama and Colombia. When that sector is united then the three Americas will be united by a single route. Why isn't it complete yet? Well, there are environmental issues (mainly from Panama) and fears that foot and mouth disease (a disease of cattle) will reach North America.
La Pan-American Highway is the route of AmericaIt crosses plains, mountains, forests and jungles and has very popular routes such as the route that connects the United States with the Panama Canal. Do you dare to visit it one day?
