Does anyone have any current information on the Panama - Colombia hop?

I'm looking to do it in a month or two, but hitting a lot of dead ends. Keen to get a boat if possible...

Apologies if this isn't the right thread to ask!

Thanks,

Crendon

That was 10 years ago and I don't know if that option is still available, or if that's perhaps an option for you.


I had the same experience with the Central American border crossings. I have 0 plans to ever cross them again with a land vehicle.

I used the flight and it was flawless.

The flight is quick, as is getting your bike out. No hassles.

The boat option closes down for the whole hurricane season and that’s why I took the plane but I’m happy with the result.

Incidentally, I had no trouble at any Central America borders either.

If anyone could post info on the air freight option between Panama and Colombia and return, I'd appreciate it. Planning on (depending on Covid) riding from the USA to hopefully as far as Colombia and return in Dec. or Jan.
