hello i will be travelling thru all of central and south america in a few weeks and i would like like to know which is the safer and easier way to get into colombia from panama since aparently crossing thru the darien gap is highly dangerous from what i read. right now im thinking about flying into cartagena or bogota but i really need to travel on the cheap. so any info would be greatly appreciated
thanx

Hi

The quickest and safest way is to fly from Panama City and the flight should not cost more than 200 - 250 USD depending when you book etc. We booked a flight from Cartagena to Panama city one day before we planned to travel and payed around this price. Looking for a sailing boat is another option but you will need to wait and we were told that the sea can be rough. We waited 4 days in Cartagena and there was no boat - our hostel in Cartagena although quoted in most guides was not helpful to find a passage! The price is more or less the same but you get 3days worth of food and accomodation and a stop at the San Blas Islands included. If you are concerned about safety, it isprobably better to fly. However, the sailing boat is supposed to be a really good trip and would have been my preferred option!

i hear its really hard to get past the darien even if u have a guide to show u the way cause if the cops see u or hear that there is someone crossing the border they will stop u and turn u around. ive heard this from someone whos tried it already.
peace and good luck
