Looking for shipping info Panama to Northern Chile. Accident delayed friends trip.
 

Hi guys, I need recent information about shipping a bike from Panama to maybe Arica or Iquique (I don´t know if this can be possible).
I have not made a research as yet, I thought of passing this message first to save some time.
2 bolivian friends (Rolando and Ramiro) travelling from Virginia to La Paz, on two US registered KLRs, had to change plans unexpectedly because one of them missed a sharp bend not far from Pinotepa Nacional in Mexico and had a broken hand as a result. His bike is for sale, I believe, in Mexico.
The guys tried to make it 2 up but it did not work so Rolando returned to the USA and Ramiro is desperately looking for some information, as I am writing, about shipping so he can send his bike to Chile and pick it up from there and carry on to Bolivia because of lack of time and resources.
If anyone wants to give some nice, helpful and recent information or even helpful links, it would be greatly appreciated.

If you post this query on ADVrider.com, Gaston will respond within minutes offering his services. Or you could just do a search over there--the Latin American board has a shipping section which is packed with posts from Gaston giving his contact info. While I don't care for his intrusiveness, it sounds like people like his services. He says that he does shipments from several USA ports to Santiago. I don't know further details.

Gaston also posts here under a different username (since being banned for commercial posts).

Hope that's helpful.

Thanks Mark por the tips, I'll post on ADVrider site and see what happens, it looks like shipping from Panama to Chile is not something usually discussed in here, I only found old posts, maybe it's just me. Thanks again.
