{"product_id":"9780964794061","title":"Crossing the Darien Gap: A Daring Journey Through the Roadless and Enchanting Jungle that Separates North America and South America","description":"If you ever plan to travel between North America and South America, you must consider that there is no road.\u003cp\u003eTen hours southeast of the Panama Canal, the Pan-American Highway penetrates the jungle, shrivels into a footpath and dies. The highway resurrects in Colombia, another continent. But the land between the two countries is a vast and primitive realm. On a map the two ends of the highway appear as two slivers of life, separated by the unknown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFilling this void is a rugged wilderness known as the Darien Rainforest. Because the Darien hinders all contact by land between North America and South America, it has earned the name \"the Darien Gap.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYet most travelers never encounter the Darien Gap. When they go to South America they fly or perhaps take a boat. I decided to cross the Darien overland, traversing from Panama to Colombia by foot and riverboat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Adventura Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47970276770032,"sku":"9780964794061","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780964794061_p0.jpg?v=1763868744","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780964794061","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
