Question
Hey Juan,

I have been thinking of driving from Canada to Argentina and have been trying to do a little research and came across a previous question you had answered back in 2004 (http://en.allexperts.com/q/Colombia-1753/Driving-Canada-Argentina.htm). I am wondering how much of that is still valid with regards to the question and your response? Will it be possible for me to do?

Thanks in advance

Answer
Hey Josh,

thank you for your question and for browsing over previous answers. That saves time...

The situation in Colombia has continued to improve since the posting that you read. I would say that you can travel safely through most of the main roads in Colombia, but the precaution of doing it in daytime is still valid. Kidnappings and guerrilla activity are at an all time low, but you must move around with caution.

As for the crossing from Panama to Colombia, gladly there's still no road. Please check recent answers about what to do to move towards Colombia.

Saludos
