In this episode, I take you deep into one of the most untouched and mysterious regions of the world—the Darién Gap, starting from the town of Yaviza, Panama. Join me as I travel to the southernmost tip of Central America’s road network, a place where the Pan-American Highway ends, and the dense jungle begins.

Located at the edge of the impenetrable Darién rainforest, Yaviza is the last point of civilization before the vast, unbroken stretch of wilderness known as the Darién Gap. This region has been shrouded in mystery for decades, with its wild landscapes, indigenous communities, and tales of adventure making it one of the most intriguing and dangerous places on the planet.

In this video, you’ll see:

• A journey through Yaviza, the gateway to the Darién, where life moves at a slower pace, and the jungle is a constant presence. I explore the town’s unique vibe, meet some locals, and capture the everyday life on the banks of the Chucunaque River, the main artery that connects Yaviza to the deeper jungle.
