I am in San Cristobal de las Casas at the moment, waiting for some tyres to be sent out to me, and am thinking about the route ahead.
Has anybody got a ride from colon to cartegena via the san blas islands? Whats was the price? I am travelling with a Bob trailer, will it be an issue stowing that and the bike on board? And as there is bound to have been one person that did it, who crossed the darien gap??
Thanks

Boat from Colon, Panama to Cartagena, Columbia
HI Dave,
the stahlratte was a really good way to get across, look them up via google (stahlratte or steelrat). They charge 385 dollars, this seems pricey, but is worth the hassle free trip we thought. Incl good food, san blas for 2 days, arrangements with customs and your bike below decks (no spray). Other boats you can find via 2 hostels in panama city, eg 'mamallena', or wunderbar.
cheers

ps there where also 9 motorbikes when we went over, there would be more than enough room for your bob. This boat is the biggest boat sailing across, I think it is the same Randy and Nancy took
