Walking the Americas by Levison Wood
Walking the Americas chronicles Levison Wood's 1,800 mile trek along the spine of the Americas, through eight countries, from Mexico to Colombia, experiencing some of the world’s-most diverse, beautiful and unpredictable places.
His journey took him from violent and dangerous cities fo ancient Mayan ruins lying still unexplored in the jungles of Mexico and Guatemala. He encountered members of indigenous tribes, migrants heading towards the US border and proud Nicaraguan revolutionaries on his travels, where at the end it all, he attempted to cross one of the most impenetrable borders on earth: the Darién Gap roufe from Panama into South Americas.
This trek required every ounce of Levison Wood's guile, tact, strength and resilience in one of the most raw, real and exciting journeys of his life.
