The Pan-American Highway is a network of roads that stretches from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska in the United States to Ushuaia, Argentina at the southern tip of South America. It covers approximately 19,000 miles and connects multiple countries across North, Central, and South America. The highway facilitates trade and travel, making it one of the longest road systems in the world. One notable feature of the Pan-American Highway is the Darien Gap, a dense jungle region between Panama and Colombia where no road exists. This gap presents significant challenges for travelers and transport, making it a unique aspect of the highway's overall route.
