To cross from Colombia to [[Panama]] you ve got to overcome the [[Darien Gap]]. You can do that by booking a five day trip with a private sailing charter from Cartagena, although it's often not cheaper than a flight. Moreover, you might get in trouble if one of your fellow travellers decided to smuggle some cocaine out of the country.
*It is possible to cross from Panama to Colombia without paying $200-$1000 for a private boat or plunging too deep into the Darien − the trek involves a few minor ferries and long walks down east-coast Panamanian beaches. Try yacht-clubs (out of storm-season). You might also find passage working on coconut-trading boats, but be prepared for a several-week ordeal. If you persevere, you can find a way and will get across; nevertheless, the Panama-Colombia border is one of the more dangerous places in the western hemisphere, and should not be taken lightly.
