Panama to Colombia
 

Ah the age-old adventure rider challenge, crossing the Darien Gap.

• Sailboat - In 2012, the Stahlratte was still running. That sweet boat has gone back to Europe. We miss Captain Lulu; the experience was epic. I understand there are few to no sailboats that can legally transport motorcycles from CA to SA. [Corrections and updates are welcome!]
• Ferry service - service has come and gone over the years, with reports of a near-disastrous fail some time back.
• Sea containers are an option for those with time and patience.
• Air cargo - For those with less time and more money, air cargo seems to be the popular solution. I saw this offer on a WhatsApp group and thought riders heading from CA to SA might benefit. Overland Embassy has what I think is a reasonably priced deal to fly your bike from Panama to Colombia.

$950.00 USD. PROMO STARTING FROM OCTOBER 14TH TO DECEMBER 31ST
LIMITED SPOTS...blah, blah...RESERVE YOURS NOW!...blah, blah
FLIGHTS EVERY DAY FROM TUESDAY TO SATURDAY
THIS OFFER APPLIES ONLY FOR THE ROUTE PANAMA TO COLOMBIA

You may be able to share a sea container for less.
It is not clear to me if they offer service from Colombia to Panama.
I stopped worrying about the Darien years ago and bought a series of bikes in Peru, but that is another kind of solution. =)
