~Pan-American Highway,
the Longest Road in the World~

At 47,958 kilometres (29,800 miles) in total length, the Pan-American Highway is the Longest Road in the World.
The road starts in Fairbanks, Alaska and ends in Brasilia, Brazil. The road is so long that it passes through
many countries, many diverse climates and ecological types, from dense jungles, to arid deserts, to cold mountain
passes. Some stretches of the road are passable only during the dry season and  in many parts driving is occasionally hazardous.

Although there is a section of 87 kilometres (54 miles) in Panama called the Darien Gap where the road
does not connect, Guinness World Records still lists it as the longest road in the world. It travels through 14 countries, namely: Canada, United States, Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile and Argentina.
