DarienGap.info
http://dariengapinfo.dreamhosters.com/ is the easy way to find and talk about great (and not so great) methods for Crossing the Darien Gap.
On my ride to Ushuaia in 2010 I researched crossing the Darien Gap by reading other travelers’ blogs and scouring ADVrider and Horizons Unlimited. The information was mostly there but it was all over the place and exhausting to find. In the end, I spent 7 days on a 4 day boat trip and had a less than savory experience with a crook of a captain. ( Don't take the Metacomet!)
Have you already crossed the Darien Gap? Was it wonderful? Was it horrible? Write a brief review so that other travelers can learn from your experience.
I wanted to build a resource that continues the spirit of travelers helping travelers. This isn't a business - I don't get any money out of it. I'm not a web developer and it's not beautiful (but hopefully riders will find it useful). What do you think? Will you post a review?
