  1. You can walk through the Darien gap but the ground is not strong enough for roads, or so they say.

  2. ILookAfterThePigs on

    Weird to stop at Queillón in Chiloé instead of taking the Carretera Austral all the way to Villa O’Higgins

  3. The route(s) through US are “Unofficial” so really it isn’t one designated continuous road but instead someone has drawn a continuous line along many roads from A to B.

  4. DramaticStability on

    Is it not possible to drive from France to the edge of China/Russia? There might be some small gaps but apparently that’s ok.

  5. I’m so tired if this being posted it’s not a single road, it doesn’t actually run through the USA/Canada and most of Argentina, and there’s a freaking giant hole in the middle of it. 

    Like, I’d like to one up you my version of the longest road in the world, the nixcamic highway, it consists of all the roads in the world just joined together however the crap I feel like it. Wow so cool.

  6. I’ve been in subs where people are like “ok we’re going to rv the pan american highway all the way to Patagonia” and I’m like “Cool, how are you planning to handle the Darien Gap?” and they’re like

    the

    WHAT

  7. As a Scotsman that impenetrable gap looks a great place to gamble an economy and start a trading colony.

  8. So yea it’s the longest road in the world except there’s a gap that you can’t ride through and also there’s a couple of unofficial parts of it that are hundreds/thousands of miles long but yeah it’s totally legit :]

  9. Yes yes we all see the lack of road in the Darien, but I’m wondering why they chose Turbo and Yaviza as the local termini when they are not mutually accessible by ferry.

  10. Are you fucking kidding me- I-35, the stain on humanity it is, should not be included in something this cool
