FIRST WEEK of Van Life on the Pan American Highway (Alaska to Argentina)

It's time! After driving 440 miles to Deadhorse in Alaska, the Pan American Highway can officially begin! We wake up in the bleak, empty tundra of Prudhoe Bay and put our sticker on the front of the general store, officially marking the start of our journey to Argentina. Join us for our first few days on the Pan American as we make our way off the Dalton Highway, navigating the treacherous Atigun Pass in not-so-ideal weather and maybe, just maybe sighting our first grizzly bear as we explore Denali National Park.

↠ A BIT ABOUT US
We're Chesca and Ben, and with our two pups River & Scout (???? ???? ) we live and travel full-time in our self converted sprinter van, Sophia. We spent the past 2 years road tripping as much of Europe as we could, from the wild coasts of Portugal to the Syrian border in Turkey, tackling lockdowns and a van re-build along the way. But now, we're feeling like a new challenge. In the summer of 2022, we'll be shipping our van from the UK to Canada, on a mission to drive her all the way to Argentina! ????????

Pan-American Highway Peru Time-Lapse | Driving through the Andes, desert, sand dunes & jungle

A time-lapse of a four day journey across the pan-american highway from Pisac, Cusco (near Machu Picchu) to Mancora, in the north of Peru. Along the way we spent the nights in Arequipa, Paracas and Nuevo Chimbote. It was an epic drive through the Andes, the desert and the jungle and it's captured in 4K.

This was filmed on a GoPro 7 mounted to the windscreen or the dashboard of my car. I didn't film the entire trip, just the best bits.

South Panamericana, Pan-American Highway, Peru, South America

The Pan-American Highway is a network of roads measuring about 47,958 kilometres (29,800 mi) in total length. Except for a 159-kilometre (99 mi) rainforest break, called the Darién Gap, the road links the mainland nations of the Americas in a connected highway system. According to Guinness World Records, the Pan-American Highway is the world's longest motorable road. However, because of the Darién Gap, it is not possible to cross between South America and Central America by traditional motor vehicle. The Pan-American Highway system is mostly complete and extends from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, in North America to the lower reaches of South America. Several highway termini are claimed to exist, including the cities of Puerto Montt and Quellón in Chile and Ushuaia in Argentina. No comprehensive route is officially defined in Canada and the United States, though several highways in the U.S. are called Pan-American. The Pan-American Highway passes through many diverse climates and ecological types, from dense jungles, to arid deserts, to cold mountain passes. Since the highway passes through many countries, it is far from uniform. Some stretches of the highway are passable only during the dry season, and in many regions driving is occasionally hazardous. Famous sections of the Pan-American Highway include the Alaska Highway and the Inter-American Highway (the section between the United States and the Panama Canal). Both of these sections were built during World War II as a means of supply of remote areas without danger of attack by U-boats. Jake Silverstein, writing in 2006, described the Pan-American Highway as a system so vast, so incomplete, and so incomprehensible it is not so much a road as it is the idea of Pan-Americanism itself. The southern part of the highway begins in northwestern Colombia, from where it follows Colombia Highway 62 to Medellín. At Medellín, Colombia Highway 54 leads to Bogotá, but Colombia Highway 25 turns south for a more direct route. Colombia Highway 72 is routed southwest from Bogotá to join Highway 25 at Murillo. Highway 25 continues all the way to the border with Ecuador. Ecuador Highway 35 runs the whole length of that country. Peru Highway 1 carries the Pan-American Highway all the way through Peru to the border with Chile. In Chile, the highway follows Chile Highway 5 south to a point north of Santiago (Llaillay), where the highway splits into two parts, one of which goes through Chilean territory to Quellón on Chiloé Island, after which it continues as the Carretera Austral. The other part goes east along Chile Highway 60, which becomes Argentina National Route 7 at the Argentinian border and continues to Buenos Aires, the end of the main highway. The highway network also continues south of Buenos Aires along Argentina National Route 3 towards the city of Ushuaia in Tierra del Fuego. One branch, known as the Simón Bolívar Highway, runs from Bogotá (Colombia) to Guiria (Venezuela). It begins by using Colombia Highway 71 all the way to the border with Venezuela. From there it uses Venezuela Highway 1 to Caracas and Venezuela Highway 9 to its end at Guiria. A continuation of the Pan-American Highway to the Brazilian cities of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro uses a ferry from Buenos Aires to Colonia in Uruguay and Uruguay Highway 1 to Montevideo. Uruguay Highway 9 and Brazil Highway 471 route to near Pelotas, from where Brazil Highway 116 leads to Brazilian main cities. Another branch, from Buenos Aires to Asunción in Paraguay, heads out of Buenos Aires on Argentina National Route 9. It switches to Argentina National Route 11 at Rosario, which crosses the border with Paraguay right at Asunción. Other branches probably exist across the center of South America. The highway does not have official segments to Belize, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana, nor to any of the island nations in the Americas. However, highways from Venezuela link to Brazilian Trans-Amazonian highway that provide a southwest entrance to Guyana, route to the coast, and follow a coastal route through Suriname to French Guiana.

The Longest Road In The World - The Pan American Highway

At its fullest extent the Pan-American Highway is a network of roads stretching from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, to Ushuaia, Argentina, a distance of around 48,000 kilometres (30,000 miles).

According to Guinness World Records, the Pan-American Highway is the world’s longest “motorable road”. However it is not readily possible to drive all the way since the route is interrupted by the 160 kilometre-wide (100 mile) Darién Gap between Central and South America.

The Highway consists of both official and unofficial elements. The official section, which is referred to in Spanish variously as the Autopista / Carretera / Ruta Panamericana, runs from Nuevo Laredo, Mexico on the U.S. Border to Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina.

However, as shown on the map there are extensive unofficial sections to both the north and south of this.

The route shown on the map runs through 14 countries: The United States, Canada, Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Argentina.

It also has links to a number of other countries. In the process it passes through all the major climate zones and many varied landscapes including arctic tundra, boreal forest, mountains, prairies, arid deserts and tropical jungles.

The Pan-American Highway (Mel & Ethel Ross, 1961)

This feature-length film was created by Alberta filmmakers Mel and Ethel Ross and documents an epic road journey that the couple undertook in 1960-61 through Canada, the United States, Central America, and South America.

This film and others by the Rosses would be shown with the Rosses in attendance, who would provide live narration and commentary. The narration heard in this video was recorded later by a relative of Mel & Ethel using the original script.

Panamericana Travel - The American Highway! Part 9: Lima, Cusco, Machu Picchu

After a pitstop in Lima, I continue on the American Highway towards Cusco on my own, fighting some altitude sickness. I visit Machu Picchu in the rain and am impressed regardless. Then I only have a few days left before this whole Panamericana travel experience ends. Will I get a final chance to see my friends again in Lima? After all, I return to where it all began: Cartagena in Colombia.

How to drive the Pan-American Highway from Alaska to Argentina!

Have you dreamed of driving the Pan-American Highway from Alaska to Argentina? I did it, and I'm going to teach you how on Instagram!



Before I drove around Africa I drove the entire length of the Pan-American Highway from Alaska to Argentina. I was on a tight budget, didn't have any sponsors and just wanted to have the adventure of a lifetime - which I did. I drove 40,000 miles through 17 countries over 22 months.
As I hunker down for the winter to write my next book - 'The Road Chose Me Volume 2: Africa', we will relive the adventure that started it all, and get you not only inspired, but also armed with the knowledge and lessons you need to set out on your own continent-scale overland adventure!

Every day on Instagram I'm going to re-cap my first expedition and teach you all the most important stuff so you can do it too. From saving money and planning to vehicle prep, hitting the road and the adventures you'll have along the way, I will cover it all. No topic is off limits, no detail is too small.

Post your questions so I cover the topics you want to know about.

Follow along on Instagram and learn how you can do it too!

Panamerican Highway

Travel Pan American Highway from New York to Tierra del Fuego Argentina .Ushuaia to Belo Horizonte agua boa mg , Brazil travel by car

Tierra del Fuego

Recorded February 24-25, 2009.

Tierra del Fuego is an archipelago off the southernmost tip of the South American mainland, across the Strait of Magellan. The archipelago consists of a main island Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego divided between Chile and Argentina with an area of 18,572 square miles, and a group of smaller islands including Cape Horn. Initially discovered by Ferdinand Magellan's expedition in 1520, the islands were not settled by people of European descent until the second half of the 19th century at the height of the sheep farming and gold rush booms.

The video begins as we sail around Cape Horn and up the Beagle Channel on the Star Princess. After docking in Ushuaia, Argentina I take a drive through the Andes Mountains and embark on a wildlife cruise in the Beagle Canal.
