Mysterious and Dangerous Darien Gap
by Matthew Karsten
The Darien Gap is a remote, roadless swath of jungle on the border of Panama & Colombia. Known as a drug smuggling corridor between the two countries, it?s rarely seen by outsiders.
The Darien has an almost mythical quality to it, a mysterious land full of exotic plants, rare wildlife, indigenous people, and dangerous paramilitary groups.
Largely untouched by the modern world, the Darien is one of the least visited places on the planet.
