Why was Darien Gap not developed?

Roadbuilding through this area is expensive, and the environmental cost is high. Political consensus in favor of road construction has not emerged.

How many people have made it through the Darien Gap?

In total, some 133,000 people made the journey through the Darien Gap in 2021, the UNHCR said.
