Walking The Americas

Levison and Alberto avoid escaped convicts and poisonous trees as they take in Mexico and Belize's jungles, the hurricane-wracked island of San Pedro and Guatemala's lawless wilderness of El Petén

Levison and Alberto reach Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua, partying in a unique Caribbean town, crossing stunning but treacherous mountains, and visiting one of the world's most violent cities

In Nicaragua and Costa Rica, Levison and Alberto trek through beautiful landscapes and colonial cities, climb active volcanoes and mountains, navigate deadly highways and meet fishermen and migrants

Explorer Levison Wood is in Panama, on the final leg of his attempt to walk from Mexico to Colombia along the length of Central America. And now he must cross the most dangerous stretch of jungle on Earth - the Darién Gap - to reach Colombia. One of the world's last wildernesses, the Darién Gap is home to drug-runners and militia and has defeated explorers for decades. And before attempting to walk through it, Levison explores an uncharted vampire bat-infested cave, and witnesses the engineering marvel of the Panama Canal and the modern metropolis of Panama City, before staying with indigenous tribespeople in villages deep in the jungle.
