In this episode, on the last leg of their pan-American road trip, Dara and Ed
travel south through the mountains of Costa Rica to Panama. In northern Costa
Rica, the Pan Am follows the exact same trail blazed by the Richardson
expedition over 70 years ago. Here, Dara and Ed become Sabaneros or Costa Rican
Cowboys for the day, learning to herd cattle on horseback and lasso calves at
the El Cojito ranch.
When Costa Rica began constructing their section of the Pan-American Highway,
no-one could have predicted the effect it would have on the wildlife. Dara and
Ed visit the Centro de Rescate Las Pumas animal rehabilitation centre, where
they meet orphaned anteaters and jaguars whose territories have been disrupted
by the building of the road.
Travelling on south, Dara and Ed pass through the capital, San Jose, on
Election Day, before driving over the famous Cerro de la Muerte - the Mountain
of Death.
In the 1940s, when the Richardson expedition reached this area, no motor
vehicle had ever driven over this soaring mountain range. For the first time,
Sullivan, Ken and Arnold were forced to turn back and transport the Plymouth
around the mountain by train. But as Dara and Ed discover, the 'pass of death'
still lives up to its name, as they come across a serious accident along the
road.
It takes almost 20 hours to get across the border from Costa Rica to Panama, as
Dara and Ed get caught up in a tangle of bureaucracy. Once through, they drive
on through former banana plantations to the capital, Panama City, and the
famous canal. The construction of the Panama Canal in 1914 was one of the
biggest engineering feats in history, and on the centenary of its opening, Dara
and Ed are invited on board a tug boat to experience life on the canal and help
guide the massive tankers through the system of locks.
In the 1940s, expedition could go no further in Panama. Their way was blocked
by an area of dense jungle known as the Darien Gap. Forced to put the car on a
boat, they sailed around the Darien Gap to Colombia before continuing on
through South America. These days, although the modern Pan-Am Highway does
extend south through Panama towards the Darien, there is still no road between
Central America and South America. Dara and Ed decide to follow it as far as
they can go and head for Yaviza, the last town on the map.
On the way, they stop to visit the Embera-Wounann tribe in a village only
accessible by river. Dara and Ed learn how the road has affected their lives in
ways both good and bad, and receive ceremonial tattoos from the tribal women.
Dara and Ed's journey ends at the last town on the highway - Yaviza. The dusty
Pan-American Highway stops abruptly here, in a small town square. Dara and Ed
reflect on the achievements of the Richardson expedition. It took them another
four months of travelling on through Colombia and South America to reach the
southernmost tip - Cape Horn. It was an unprecedented journey that helped to
inspire the building of the 18,000-mile Pan-American Highway, a road that
eventually came to unite the two great continents of North and South America.
