biking Colombia
 

Has anyone gone through Colombia recently? We're in Panama, and have found a boat that can take us and our 2 bikes to Cartagena, leaving the day after tomorrow. The captain is adamant that we should truck the bikes from Cartagena to Bogota, but that after that it should be ok to ride to Ecuador. Any advice?...

Need help with Colombia safety issues
 

I am in Costa Rica and am heading to Panama in a few days to get my bike to south america, I am wondering if it is safe for me to travel through Colombia? I will be riding with my girlfriend 2-up and would like any information that some one could provide. Have you been there recently, what are the safety issues, should I ship my bike to venezuela instead? Am I even posting in the right area... Or is there somewhere else I may get some recent info??? Please help, thanks!
