Yaviza : The End Of The Road

Yaviza is a small town in the Darién Province of Panama. The town itself marks the southeastern end of the northern half of the Pan-American Highway, at the north end of the Darién Gap. The rivers and tributaries surrounding it, make Yaviza a trading post for jungle inhabitants in this far-flung edge of Panama.

An Excerpt from the Book

“For three hours, they continued down the increasingly small and rugged road towards Yavizathe town at the southern end of this piece of the Panamericana.

In the late afternoon, they arrived in the small village and managed to get settled in at a riverside guesthouse. After dropping off their bags, Simon and Jonah took a twilight stroll down the riverbank to the literal ‘end of the road’. Just twenty feet from their guesthouse, the uninterrupted chain of highways and roads that run south from Alaska, all the way through the US and Central America, dramatically came to an end more than 6,000 miles later in this pile of cracked pavement at the edge of town.”

From the Author

“Yaviza was a mythical place to me when I was younger. The “end of the road” it was often called. I had read about it in National Geographic Magazine and had found it on a map more than once. To me, there is something uniquely intriguing about places like Yaviza. As a traveler much of my life, I’ve always been prepared for the next destination, the next road to head down, the next path to follow and the next fear to overcome.

There’s always that next place… until there isn’t.”
