This makes me curious if a similar trail has ever existed from the Pacific to the Atlantic in the USA / Canada. I know the Camino Real that crosses Panama very well, but that is a much, much shorter distance!
- msrenee 4y agoNot as old, but there's the Oregon Trail, as well as the shorter Mormon Trail and Santa Fe Trail.
- zeagle 4y agoNot quite the same, but I have an interest in this too. The challenges anyone trying to do this on foot/by water are insane. I can recommend a few award winning book recommendations from those that have done it: 1. Beyond the Trees by Adam Shoalts. A 4000km solo unsupported trip from the Yukon to Nunavut in the high artic, somewhat surprising he could do this. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/597600/beyond-the-trees-by-adam-shoalts/9780735236851 https://www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/597600/beyond-the-tr... 2. The Sun is a Compass by Caroline Van Hemert. A similar 4000 mile couple's trip over 6 months. https://www.carolinevanhemert.com/book https://www.carolinevanhemert.com/book 3. Atlas of a Lost World by Craig Childs. A little less scientific but a great read, he goes through paleolithic human migration in north america which hints at these patterns of migration and trade. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/227860/atlas-of-a-lost-world-by-craig-childs/ https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/227860/atlas-of-a-l...
