Copa Air from Panama to Colombia
Go to Freight Terminal (near the passenger terminal) and directly to Copa Air. They are the best to deal with and will fly your bike to either Bogota, Medellin or Cali for a very reasonable rate. They do not require crating and are a delight.

shipping bike
Hello
Of those three Columbia cities you mention, do you recommend any one over the others? Which is most enjoyable to spend a few days in? Which is logistically more favourable?
Cheers
Larry

You won't spend a few days in neither. Release of the cargo and customs takes nothing more than a few hours in Colombia unless the cargo arrive late Friday.
You should visit all three cities in Colombia and more...!
PM me if you need help with customs in Cali!

Copa airlines
If I´m not wrong, Copa will fly only to Bogota, I helped a friend with some paperwork in Panama and they said they were not flying to the other two destinations anymore, this was about a month ago. Also, as a reference, the price was 630 usd. only for the bike but another friend sent his bike from Panama to Bogota, a week ago, with DHL and he said it was 450 usd. You might want to give them a call at some point.
