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! djlolo jose alarcon Post Count: 5 Msg: #3 765 days ago, October 28th 2007 | thanx for the info i was already leaning towards flying from panama city to cartagena so i think that ive made up my mind now thanx | lmonteCR luis carlos montero jimenez Post Count: 2 Msg: #4 648 days ago, February 22nd 2008 | hi im planing on traveling to south america from costa rica im my truck and really needed to know how can a pass from panama to colombia cause i know theres no roand between, ill really greatfull if some one has any info. about it thanks and peace to all. | lmonteCR luis carlos montero jimenez Post Count: 2 Msg: #5 648 days ago, February 22nd 2008 | hola | la cosa es que estyo pensando en viajar a sur america desde costa rica pero asengun tengo informado no hay carreteras desde panama hasta colombia y yo estoy pensando en ir en mi carro, asi que ahora no se que hacer si hay alguna otra forma de pasar no se?? asi que si alguien me podria ofrecer alguna informacion acerca de como pasar de panama a colombia con mi auto le agradeceria mucho la ayuda Gracia y pazzzzzz djlolo jose alarcon Post Count: 5 Msg: #6 647 days ago, February 23rd 2008 | 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 louchristine Louisa Post Count: 1 Msg: #7 60 days ago, October 2nd 2009 | Hi | I am planning to go from Panama to Colombia and was hoping to go by boat but have heard that the weather and sea is a bit rough around January does anyone have any advice on this? i am also wondering if to go by boat do you have to leave from Panama City or can you depart from elsewhere. i am also travelling by myself so am after a safe way to do it. Any info people have on this would be so great Cheers Lou x  ElAustraliano Paul Morrison Post Count: 195 Msg: #8 59 days ago, October 3rd 2009 | In my top 10 adventures is this trip.Fly AeroPerlas ,spelling???, from Panama City local airport,near the bus terminal ,taxi should be no more $5 from Zulys Bakpakers, to Puerto Abaldia ,US$63.They have been doing up the airport at Puerto Abaldia so you may have to fly to Tubuala ,Southern San Blass, and get a speed boat ,"lancha", to Puerto Abaldia ,around $25.Here you get your exit stamp in passport,you will need 2 photocopies of your passport.Don't stop here ,get another "lancha" to Capurgana ,around $12,Here you get your entry stamp for Colombia.At Capurgana stay at Cabanas Darius with Joseph and Nery Silver.Joseph is a Hawaian native and Nery is a Capurgana local.Great people who run this small inexpensive hotel in the jungle and Nery is the most incredible cook.Joseph will organise your "lancha" to Turbo and from there you can bus East to Cartagena or Sth to Medallin but plan to spend a few days at least in Capurgana.There are many easy walksincludining about 1.5 through the jungle to La Miel ,Panama ,Joseph will walk with you .Say Hi to Joseph and Nery for me please. | This route is safe as can be and is such a gorgeous ,friendly part of the world.I am trying to buy a block of land here I loved it SO MUCH. I did this journey 3 times and each trip I met girls travelling alone.ENJOY.I know you will. Any Qs you have about Colombia or the rest of Sth Am please feel free to message me Number of Users: 5 | Number of Posts: 8 | ||||||||||||||||
