ACROSS THE JUNGLE DIVIDE

What motivates journalist Jon Anderson to slash his way through the nightmarish Darien jungle of Panama, a menacing place of poisonous plants, scorpions, and vampire bats? He's traveling in the footsteps of legendary Spanish explorer Balboa, whose 1513 discovery of the Pacific Ocean changed history. Anderson invites Explorer along on this mammoth journey across Panama and back through time.
