Highway ends Yaviza Panama

Yaviza is a town in the Darién Province of Panama. This town marks the end of the Pan-American Highway. The Pan American Highway stretches from Prudhoe Bay in Alaska and ends in Yaviza, Panama. According to Guinness World Records, the Pan-American Highway is the world's longest "motorable road". However, because of the Darién Gap, it is not possible to cross between South America and Central America by traditional motor vehicle. The Pan-American Highway is missing approximately 87 km (50mls) of road between Panama and Colombia in South America, the road system is therefore is incomplete. 

Living Darien Gap

Building a highway across the Darien and Los Katios National Parks, Panama to Colombia, must take into consideration the two major indigenous groups, the Chocó and Kuna Indians and a number of smaller groups still living by traditional practices. The area was visited by Spanish conquistadors and the coast was explored by Christopher Columbus in 1502. In 1510, the town of Santa Maria la Antigua del Darién was established probably somewhere within the park boundaries.  There is a number of archaeological sites within the parks.

Two Indian tribes live in the park along the edges of the rivers: approximately 1,000 Chocó and 200 Kuna Indians. These stake holder groups, have maintained their subsistence agricultural systems through centuries of European contact.

Motorbiking across Darien Gap

The Darien Gap from Panama to Colombia, locals just progressively move farther and farther into the hinterlands, deeper and deeper into the forest, from both ends and will eventually bump into each other. Regardless of what anyone in either government or any organization wants, a roadway, by the end of the 21st Century will be completed across the Darien Gap. It appears that, Colombia does want the roads to be connected, while Panama and many interests in North America seem not interested.

 Humans Beings are Generally Good




I believe that the basic nature of human beings is gentle and compassionate. It is therefore in our own interest to encourage that nature, to make it live within us, to leave room for it to develop. If on the contrary we use violence, it is as if we voluntarily obstruct the positive side of human nature and prevent its evolution. – His Holiness the Dalai Lama

Preserve the environment

                                                                                     
I conceive that the land belongs to a vast family of which many are dead, few are living, and countless numbers are still unborn.

Goodness of Nature

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.  Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.  The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.  ~John Muir
