Question
I am in the works of planning a roadtrip from boston to
tierra del fuego and then up to buenos aires. two
questions: how long does it take? and how can i get around
columbia affordably in a car? do you have any specific
contacts/companies regarding the latter?
Hi Dylan,
It would take me months the way I like to travel but I am sure you could do it much mor quickly if quickly is one of the objectives. A person could make it from Texas to Panama in 10 days if they had to.
There is no easy way to get a car to South America and if you are headed south I assume you would want to get the car to Ecuador or Peru. There are manycar shipping specialist on the web for instance http://www.shipmyvehicle.com
While I have driven from the US to Panama several times I have never driven in South American. And you should skip Colombia.
I hope this helps.

We can answer almost any question about travel in Panama, but really specialize in non-5 star travel outisde of Panama City itself. We like hiking, cycling, nature observing, visiting, driving and just being in third world countries. We live in the western Chiriqui highlands and have a small hotel in the town of Volcan. We travel for several months of the year so will not be fast to respond between mid August and December. From Dec to Aug we will generally respond the same day.
Experience
I live in Panama most of the year. I also have a small hotel in the village of Volcan in the Chiriqui Highland. My wife and I do some guide work in the Western Highland. We are very active tourist ourselves.
