My understanding is that there is basically only one way - by airplane, since the Pan Am highway doesn't go through. There might be some boat service that goes around, but it's probably not too safe. My friend just returned from Colombia, spent a few months there, and I was there in February, in Bogota, neither of us had any problems. Have a good trip!

Mookie, first of all it COLOMBIA, and second of all you can fly or try and find a boat to take you to Cartegena. http://www.aires.com.co/ this airline usually has a bit cheaper price than Copa, but you can check to compare.

If you want to try and arrange a boat, the price used to be around $200 and take about 5 days. Not sure if this guy is still doing the trips or not but you can try contacting Mark at this address nooldboldcaptains@yahoo.ca
