Synopsis by Clarke Fountain
This well-photographed documentary chronicles the journey of three men on motorcycles as they travel from Denver to Panama. Sequences show the trio traveling down jungle trails, roughriding in the desert, and following the tracks of an abandoned railroad, among many adventures. Along the way, they enjoy the available tourist attractions; skiing in Taos, scuba diving off the Mexican shore, and amateur bullfighting in the border town of Juarez. Along with the travelers' general good spirits, viewers share their enjoyment and exploration of Central American towns and villages.
