Our planet is home to some very special places. In this unique places waiting for radically different worlds. There, cold meets hot, jungle and desert North meets South meets. Opposite worlds are destined to live side by side, to discover each other, to share a strange and singular rayon. In these places of encounters and collision proliferates life in an unforeseen reaction. These places are laboratories where nature with its people day and night ... every hour, every minute, every second experiments.
Here, life shakes things up with all his might. Sudden extinctions and new species, long distance travelers, invaders and the invaded, ruthless competition and new opportunities. In these places every living thing plays his cards in a game of life and death.
There are only two places that work like true connections between two worlds-the places joining North and South America and Africa and Europe. These spots, lurking between two continents are bridges, strips of land that boast extraordinary and unique natural diversity. Not an engineer could anything like it, not even the boldest or the most creative proposals. No one would dare to think of building a bridge nearly 1900 km long, to connect the sea include North and South America.
It all started 80 million years ago in the burning heart of the Earth. Volcanoes arose from the oceanic back located between two tectonic plates and threw enough material to make small archipelago South of North America. For many thousands of years remained active volcanoes spitting up millions of tons of lava that formed the basis of the future bridge. Several generations of volcanic islands appeared, one after another, succumb to the erosive action of the sea and the tropical wind and rain.
That first sketch of the bridge formed the pillars of the latest structure. That was how the first phase of construction of the Central American bridge began.
