Thanks for the info. After watching this, I just gave up on my trip to Brazil.

[@Famagogo]

Don't give up if it's really important to you. I can tell you it's worth the effort and expense. But also, this is not the only way to explore Brazil. So maybe you still need to find your best method.

[@moragmartin8954]

Thank you, this is really helpful for us. We’re curious as to why the van had to be weighed in Colombia. Understand weighing before shipping but not after, were you given a reason for this?

[@evstafievcoach]

Thanks for all the info. Just curious whats the cost to ship van from US to Columbia, do you know?

Hi Peter, thank you so much for this detailed summary! I think this is the most detailed and useful I have heard so far. 🙏👍

[@Famagogo]

Glad it was helpful!

[@aviationphd]

Cool

[@XPRoller]

too much hassle, and too much money for the hassle.

[@Famagogo]

Everyone has differant tolerances. I get it. I kinda enjoy figuring out hard stuff. But this type of travel definetly isnt for everyone. It was a good warm up for some of the other travel challanges to come. You can see those in future videos. It gets way more crazy...

[@Twohappycampers]

Really appreciate the time you took to share all this info. It's so helpful for us Pan-American planners and dreamers. 🙏

[@Famagogo]

You are so welcome!

[@everett3223]

Thank you for the heads up! Wow that’s a chunk of change…Seems like kind of a scam. Safe travels guys!👍❤️ ‘

[@Famagogo]

Yes, It really hurt paying this much. But we are loving South America. Thanks!

[@klaus3350]

Great Info, thank you! is it cheaper to ship the vehicle from Costa Rica or any other country aside from Panama to Columbia?

[@Famagogo]

YES! It is cheaper to ship from Texas, Florida or Veracruze, MX. But we wanted to drive all of Central America so we paid extra.

[@johnplyler7054]

Thanks Peter for the very thorough explanation of the Darien Gap passage! Wow!

[@Famagogo]

You are welcome! My wallet said, "WOW" too.

[@mc-zy7ju]

Their port security and customs sounds better than Canadas.

[@Famagogo]

Yea, maybe. It was really professional. Our lack of speaking spanish added challenge. But a good local broker helps a lot.
