    the very article you are linking provides information about how deadly it is[1] and how crossing with a car is essentially not an option unless you have months or even years to spare[2]

    [1] "The hike, which involves crossing rivers which flood frequently, is unpleasant, demanding, and dangerous, with rape and robbery common, and there are numerous fatalities"

    [2] "The first all-land auto crossing was in 1985–1987 by Loren Upton and Patty Mercier in a CJ-5 Jeep, taking 741 days to travel 200 kilometers (125 miles)".
