Hi,

I rode only in Ecuador, Chile and Argentina but border crossing is quite easy if you have a valid passport after you passed the US.

If you want to go from Panama to Colombia you have 3 options:
- plane
- ferry
- take a guide through the jungle called Darien Gap (there is no road, path, border)

This list is ordered by price (cheapest on top) and difficulties (easiest on top)

Try to avoid the panamericana. Most times it's a motorway. Most sights and beautiful landscapes are accessed by minor roads beside the panamericana.

Change your 100 mi diet to 50 mi diet per day. It's hard enough.

When will start?

Bye
Thomas
