Getting from Panama to Colombia| 27 Replies: « back 1 2 next » | Tans99 Tania Novess Post Count: 4 Msg: #21 43 weeks ago, March 8th 2009 | Go to any of the backpackers in Cartagena and there will be information on boats & captians. We stayed at the <snip>near the old town and there was loads of information there. Also, go down to the marina where they come in and there are posters and bits and peices up. | [Edited: 10:45 - Mell ] barunkad Barbora Dorflova Post Count: 2 Msg: #22 12 weeks ago, October 6th 2009 | Tha same here... we are planing to go from California to Peru by Car and this gap seems to be a big question...

Thanks a lot Barbora Tans99 Tania Novess Post Count: 4 Msg: #23 12 weeks ago, October 6th 2009 | Hi - what are you planning on doing with you car once you get to Panama? You have to be very careful as friends of ours sold / gave away their car in nicaragua as they found it more hassle than it was worth, then then werent allowed to leave the country for weeks until the dealt with the car....plus you wont be able to take the car to the south easily! Buses are easy & cheap...as for boats to Cartagena just head to Lunas castle hostel in Panama and they can sort you out.... | barunkad Barbora Dorflova Post Count: 2 Msg: #24 12 weeks ago, October 6th 2009 | Hi the think is that we still didn't decide what's better... eather to go by car and have our kites with us... so we could kite whenever it's possible ;) and also be more flexible with the car.. stop where we want and see what we want/... | Or go by bus... which seems to be cheap, but that would be just with our backpack.. no kiting :( Or there is the selling option... ??? I really don't know what to decide for... :( Any help?

There are many jungle walks including 1.5hrs through the jungle to Panama and horse treks deep into the Darien Wilderness. Joseph will help you get another lancha to Turbo and from here you can travel to Cartegena or Medallin. This is a great adventure I've done a few times now.  ChorusOfSilence Sabir N.

The one I used is Zuly´s Hostel in the Financial District of Panama City. Info on boats on their website. There are several departures every month. There were two options at the time that I was looking: 1. Short trip (3 days): $250. One day in Provenir in the San Blas archipelago and two days for the crossing. 2. Regular trip (5 days): $395. Three days in San Blas, two days crossing the sea. Both include food and water. BYOB. You arrive to Cartagena. You can fly for about $100 on some local airline. You will not be able to pass through the Darien Gap. Besides being a retarded idea, you´ll just be turned back by the police. Feel free to message me if you have any other question. 27 Replies: « back 1 2 next » | Number of Users: 23 | Number of Posts: 27 27 Replies: « back 1 2 next » | | |||||||||||||||||||||||
