Where can I Drive The World’s Longest Highway?
September 15, 2011 No Comments
For sheer distance you can’t beat the
Pan-American Highway linking PrudhoeBay, Alaska with Ushuaia in the far
south of Argentina on an epic 29,800-mile (48,000-km) route.
Purists may argue that the Pan-American doesn’t qualify as a single
highway, since on the North American side it’s a network of roads that
use different names -but this is still apretty impressive route.
The Pan-American road signs start on the
Mexican border and the road snakes down through Panama before coming to
an abrupt holt at the Darien Gap. This 54 mole (87 km) stretch of
rainforest on the Panama/Columbia frontier is notorious for smugglers,
making it impassible for all but the most foolhardy adventurers.
You can pick the Highway up again on the
Columbian side then it hugs the Pacific Coast, working down through
Ecuador, Peru, and Chile before crossing over to Buenos Aires for the
final stretch through Patagonia and Tierra del fuego.
