Getting from Panama to Colombia| 27 Replies: « back 1 2 next » | ilikeit Paul van Deursen Post Count: 1 Msg: #1 1294 days ago, May 14th 2006 | I understand there is no longer a ferry service between Panama and Colombia. Does anybody have a suggestion on how to get to Colombia from Panama. My travel mode is bycicle and tent. |  Matze Matthias R Post Count: 3 Msg: #2 1291 days ago, May 16th 2006 | i heard that it is possible to travel on a private boat of some individuals who go from Panama to Colombia and back. not sure where they leave though. | jaredg jared something or other Post Count: 3 Msg: #3 1145 days ago, October 9th 2006 | I dont know where they leave from panama, but most of them arrive in Cartagena in colombia. I havent been, but heard a trillion stories and seen the photos - next year i'll be doing it for sure. |  sjoerde Sjoerd Ermshaus Post Count: 2 Msg: #4 1142 days ago, October 12th 2006 | Yes, I did the trip from Panama to Colombia. I met this stereotype Colombian captain in the Voyager Hostel (Panama City, this is the place to arrange yachts). I had written emails with him before he came to the hostel in order to arrange the trip. I think he likes it when you write him in Spanish. We had to take a funny 20 minutes flight to El Porvenir, the "first" San Blas island, where his private yacht was. The trip to Cartagena took 5 days and was amazing, although I was sick all the time (I had caught the flu earlier, it was not because of the rough sea or so...). I think it is the best way to visit remote San Blas islands without seeing any other tourists as some islands are visited by cruise ships... Those are the most beautiful islands I have ever seen! It cost about 200 US dollars, about the same as taking a flight to Cartagena. I can mail you the captain's mail address if you want... | [Edited: 21:30 - sjoerde ]  VictorT VictorT Post Count: 25 Msg: #5 1140 days ago, October 15th 2006 | Whatever you do, don't go overland unless you're into trips with a 60% death rate. Your bike and tent won't help you in this journey, I'm afraid. | V ConquistaAzteca Alejandro Trevino Post Count: 1 Msg: #6 999 days ago, March 5th 2007 | He guys we wanna travel from Mexico to Venezuela this summer but we have some problems with the mother fuckr "Tapon de Darien" cause we're gonna do this trip on a truck so we need to know how to cross from Panama to Colombia (by land or ferry... carring our truck) and then at the return from Colombia to Panama... so if you have ay information send us please ... may be the mail from the owner of the hosatl can help us a lot !! | Seee ya and thnks! zaalien Yep Post Count: 1 Msg: #7 997 days ago, March 7th 2007 | Hi . I was wondering if Sjoerde could send me that captins email address. It sounds like a really amazing trip. I would be doing it the other way, i.e. from colombia to panama. Was it expensive by the way? How much did you organise this before hand? do you think if i turned up it would be ok? | Thanks peluches08 Jose Murillo Post Count: 1 Msg: #8 639 days ago, February 27th 2008 | Hi Conquistador Azteca. | This April i will do the same and have the same problem to cross from panama to colombia and have my truck also, if you want we can meet and talk about it, maybe we can share a container.

Ellen Around the World Ellen Post Count: 102 Msg: #10 602 days ago, April 4th 2008 | Theres a cheap airline that gets you from Panama City to Caragena for $150 USD. Cant remember the name of it, but found it on the Lonely Planet Thorntree forum. All the other airlines are more like $300 USD - so worthwhile checking it out!

I am already in Honduras and I am going to move southward pretty fast now. I have been looking for informations about ferry boats able to carry my car and myself to Colombia from Panama but I found nothing. Do you have any suggestion?

Hoping to do the trip in 3 weeks? Thanks, T |  barrygahan Barry Post Count: 150 Msg: #16 431 days ago, September 23rd 2008 | I think Aires (http://www.aires.com.co/) is the cheap airline that Ellen mentions above. We flew with them from Cartagena to Panama, and it is good value, though the departure tax from Cartagena airport is almost the same cost as the flight. | el gaucho fernando lira Post Count: 1 Msg: #17 375 days ago, November 18th 2008 | Hi I am on my way to southamerica in my motorcycle, right now I am in mexico city, I am looking for more bikers to travel together for more fun and safety, also any ideas to ship the bike to colombia? thanks | el gaucho p.s.email me with your ideas & tips, places to stay as well what to visit along the way <snip> p.s.2 I do speak spanish.
