Darien Gap
 

Hello fellow adventure types. Four of us are trying to figure the best way around the Darien with our GS's (2018). It seems that the ferry option is dead and so is the sailboat option. Does anybody have some up to date info/experience on this part of the trip south?

Thanks,

Jim Andrew

Why do you write that "ferry option is dead "?
As I wrote in the topic that I opened yesterday on my trip to America (April/May 2017) to ask for the air transport of the motorcycle from Europe to South America and then from Alaska to Europe ( http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...ly-south-89814 ), I have to switch from Colombia to Panama.
The latest news that I give the ferry still active (but are not updated news): what are the News?

Sailboat option
 

Sailboat option is not dead. At least not for 2017... No plans after that so far but probably we will do tours May-Nov 18.

But the regular ferry? What I have mentioned? There is still? this Por 90 dólares se podrá viajar en ferry entre Panamá y Cartagena | El Heraldo

No, ferry is out of business for a while now.

May 2017?

I can not send private messages to you: better to write here.
But the link you sent me is about the sailing boats that go to San Blas. This route does not interest me. I want to take the ferry (motor ferry, this Por 90 dólares se podrá viajar en ferry entre Panamá y Cartagena | El Heraldo) that runs from Cartagena in Colon.

Got your pm and answered it. Lets not hijack this thread here;)
