Carnet , yes or no?
 

I'm from Canada and want to know if I should get a Carnet for Central America...down to Panama. Will this be cheeper in the long run if I get one and less hassel at the boarder?

Thanks John.

I haven't been that way yet, but Grant said it's confirmed to be completely carnet free. Ecuador was the last hold out, I think.

I rode through all the CA countries except El Salvador in'03 without a carnet and had no major hassles. Took a couple hours to cross most borders. No one ever mentioned a carnet at any of the borders. From my experience I would say don't bother.

There are a few pictures on the site in my sig you might find interesting.
