Boat down the amazon
Hi guys just need a bit of infomation about getting passage on
a boat down the amazon from manaus to the coast so we can drive to Rio in our land Rover. I know that there are a lot of posts on shipping a bike down this river but I have not seen many regarding shipping a Land rover. Is there any knid of ferry or do you think we will have to containerise? Does anybody have an idea of costs?
Also I was just reading the FOC website and they are advising against all travel through the border between Columbia and Venezuela and also Ecuador and Venezuala. Is it really that bad? Has anyone done this route from Ecuador to Columbia then Venezuela and onto Manaus? Any advise on raod conditions or good places to stop would be great.
Oh yea as mentioned above we are in a 4x4 and will be travelling this way in August/ September.
Thanks
Jason
