The crossing of the Darien Gap is about 90 kilometers (from the article). I assume @exue was referring to that part.

I don't believe he does mean 90 million kilometers (a tenth of the circumference of earth's orbit around the sun)

"mega" means million. 90 megameters is 90,000 kilometers, or 90 million meters.
