The Excitement Of Sailing From Panama To Colombia

By Tracie Knight


Taking a flight can be very tempting as opposed to sailing because it is cheaper, faster and less tiresome. Many people have been asked about their opinion about sailing from panama to Colombia. Some of the people asked were against the idea saying that the captains usually take a lot of time docking the ship in sea sand beaches while they spent the whole day sea sick. Some however thought that this was going to be a good experience. The following is review by a tourist who got to sail through to Colombia.

I decided to take a sailing trip as opposed to the flight which may be found to be cheaper. The trip was going to cost me around thrice the amount than if I flew straight to Colombia. However I decided the money was worth it considering the fun experiences I was going to have. At first the trip was estimated to take five full days with three of them spent on the San Ban highland on the Caribbean coast.

During the trip, I got some unforgettable experiences and also learnt about new things. Some of new things I learnt is about a swampy and undeveloped are in the sea which is hard to cross and is referred to as the Darien gap. This gap is found in the province of Darien. Many people who cross this gap do it by foot. This cannot be done as easily when sailing.

The number of people who prefer to sail through the water has been increasing in a high rate and the touring agents have taken advantage to increase their prices too. The type of boat affects the amount of money the tourist will pay but the price ranges from five hundred to a thousand.

Private owners provide the boats in panorama but the sailors are hired from different areas of world to operate the boats. The travelers have a great and diverse range of boats to select from at the panama dork. There are also travelling agencies available to guide them to choose the best of the best. They can however not have the pleasures of selecting the captain they prefer.

In the other months of the year apart from June the water is usually too wavy and therefore this is the best month to travel. The time that the whole trip takes is usually estimated and therefore individuals on a fixed schedule cannot plan their trip well. They are therefore advised to consider taking flights instead.

Sailing has an advantage over flying because the waters will take you through the beautiful San Blas islands and also the Comarca Kuna Yala where you can stop for a few days and carry out some fun activities like fishing. Other fun activities that can be carried out in this place are swimming, snorkeling and having fun in the turquoise blue waters.

This tour is very much recommended for any sightseers who would love to travel and know about Colombia and panama since it is less boring compared to taking a flight. Taking this trip can be seen as being more expensive than a flight but the experiences the tourist gets are worth spending their money on.
