What is the name of the isthmus at the narrowest point of the country, separating the Gulf from the Pacific Ocean, historically considered as a potential alternative to the Panama Canal?

The Isthmus of Tehuantepec is only about 200 km wide and has been used for centuries as an interoceanic trade corridor, now being developed as a trans-isthmus railway.
