The Panamerica is one of the longest roads in the world - it runs some 48,000 km through the North and South American continents, all the way from Alaska to the southermost tip of Argentina. But there's a long gap in Panama before the road continues in Colombia. Local people are not happy about their lack of access to economic opportunities that come with being connected.
