  • What airlines is that on?

  • crossing the darrien gap without getting killed by geurrillas or sucked up by meters of swamp - a monumental achievement. "bypassing" the gap - not so much. you should change the title of your video.

  • Yeah, you´re right, it should be something like bypassing the Darien Gap.

  • We didn't actually visit the Darien, we sailed past it. The Afro Darienitas sound interesting though. The closest we got to the Darien Gap was the San Blas Islands which were a Carribean dream: both culturally and scenery-wise.

  • felipobmx -

    It was about US$360 per person and took 5 days. The time it takes depends on how long you stop in the San Blas Islands and the winds/weather. We also had to pay US$100 for the bicycles.

  • I keep looking for a video with a person on foot traversing THE JUNGLE. I haven't found one yet. This video is mis-titled.

    On a related note... I crossed the Himalayan mountain range when I was 15. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I was in a plane.

  • Very annoying music. Why don't you try narrating? Also, if you ACTUALLY tried crossing the Darien, instead of sailing around it, you prolly wouldn't have survived. You know it's true.

  • This isn't exactly crossing the Darian gap its going around it. Much safer though...

  • @rockymountainsunrise ya know, i did this at nineteen back in '79 with a boat hired in el real. i also stayed in union choco with the indians. ic things got REAL posh as time has gone on. so your "monumental achievement" kinda' makes me chuckle. i was one of the first.

  • the music for crossing the Darien gap

    is perfect

    the video is not lol

    great fun tho

    good luck to you and your family

    cheers

  • "Hey, last year I crossed the Darien Gap by myself, mostly on foot but a little bit with canoes when I had to, in 2 1/2 weeks time and nothing bad at all happened to me. I went from Yaviza, Panamá all the way to Turbo, Colombia. No problems, no big deal. I honestly don't understand why people are so afraid to try it." ---Chuck Norris
