the wife and i rolled into panama several weeks ago. the ferry seems to be a myth. we left the bike and flew back to reno, plan to return late march. please let me know what you find out for transport to columbia.

p.s. be careful crossing into honduras, there are some bad people that will definitely rip you off if they get the chance.

Hi GS,
An Update, I am leaving Antigua Christmas day.I was going to leave on the weekend but heard the border crossings are packed until Christmas day. Will try to get to get at least to Honduras maybe even Nicaragua the same day. Don't know if that is possible.
Hopefully the border people are in the Christmas spirit!

Go to :
travel.gc.ca/ destinations/ honduras
Under entry info look for the 4-C Border Control Agreement.
It allows Canadians to travel between Hon, Nic, El Salv,Guat without going through the entry/ exit formalities for 3 months. I do not know how this will apply to importing a motorcycle but will let you know.
Merry Christmas.

Hi guys!

Thanks for the info.

My brother and I (both Canadian) are crossing to the Mexican mainland from La Paz tomorrow and then will be making our way South. We are also planning to do some Spanish lessons in Guatemala.

Please let us know how you make out on the crossings and what options you find for crossing the Darien gap.

Maybe we'll even catch up to you!
