Air Cargo to Bogota?
Hi Fle:
Good post, fresh info always appreciated.
1) What size, model was your motorcycle (cc, type)?
2) Assumed it flew from Panama City to Bogota?
I've know of a newbie team going down in the Fall of 2017 - passed on your info. They were "pondering" the ship/boat option out of lovely Colon, but have been swayed to the "less time/hassle/" air cargo option. While less exotic than a boat with fellow travelers/backpackers/ they feel $1,000 plus or minus some $'s for handling/hotel/taxis/restaurant food meets their parameter to be rolling versus a sea cruise :-)
I believe you were wise to go the air cargo route. One of my KLR650 acquaintances did the boat trip and lived to say, "Never again."
Thanks again for the fresh data.
I did Miami to Bogota in January, 2015, by air cargo, for a 1983 Honda GL650. $1,800-$1,900 price was less than what it would have cost to drive the motorbikes from Miami and then ship/fly around/over the Darien, and far less stressful and time consuming. Some details can be found in HU forum for Shipping, and a bit here:
