In the early 60's, some guys drove across in a trio or Corvairs with a few support vehicles. It took them three months with an average of less than a mile per day. Here's a Road & Rack article about it: https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/a36177863/corvairs-in-the-jungle-of-death/
For the article, they talked with a Norwegian guy who did it by motorbike in the late 80's. Interesting parts:
> Pedersen was gobsmacked by Chevy’s effort. “I can’t even imagine it,” he said. “I can’t see these people going up and down those hills. It must have been brutal.” The Norwegian relayed anecdotes from his own trip, which contradict the squeaky-clean Chevy footage. One night Pedersen’s companion picked more than 150 ticks off his own body. Then there were the scorpions, the broken hand, the swollen and septic leg, and the constant scares from Africanized killer bees, which gave him nightmares.> ... Pedersen isn’t convinced the Corvairs did much driving at all—more likely they were pushed, hauled, winched, pulled, and otherwise dragged nearly every inch of the way through that godforsaken jungle, he says.
