Colombia To Panama Sailing Vacations

By Serena Price


Those who want an out-of-the-ordinary vacation should look into Colombia to Panama sailing tours. There is really only one way to get from one country to the other if you want to see the land - by sea. There are no connecting roads and the dense jungle along the border is full of hazards. Commercial cargo boats sometimes carry passengers, but a majestic sailboat is the premier way to make the trip.

It's a good idea to work with a specialized travel agency that can screen boats and captains who provide passenger service. There are complications to any international travel, and the personal service of experienced tour arrangers can minimize mistakes, expense, and other unpleasant surprises. Go online to find offers of help in arranging your adventure, and check out the agencies as you would any other commercial enterprise.

A five-day sailing trip is something that most people never experience. The Caribbean Ocean has some of the most beautiful waters and beaches in the world. These two countries were once part of the same Spanish colony but now have their own unique things to offer. However, sun, pristine white sandy beaches, and hundreds of islands inhabited by indigenous peoples are things that both share.

The five days or so you spend on board will truly expose you to the hypnotic lure of the sea. You'll sail through days and nights when all you hear is the rushing of water under the bow and the sound of wind in the sails. You'll see mysterious islands and miles of beautiful coastline by day and the moon and stars by night, with nothing between you and the ocean but the frail hull of the boat.

Along the way, you can laze in the sun on deck or fish the deep sea waters for a trophy tuna. Swimming and snorkeling near one of the hundreds of islands, enjoying a secluded beach and the famous jewel-tone water, or visiting an Indian village for a glimpse of indigenous culture are some side trips that can be arranged.

It's possible to reserve a whole boat, but it's fun to meet new people, with all the time you need to really get to know them. Not the least of these will be the captain and the crew of your boat; the people of the region are famous for friendliness and hospitality.

It's fun and enticing to go online for accounts posted by other travelers and official sites that showcase the natural beauty of the region, its long and violent history, and the sights to see. This region of mile upon mile of uninhabited coastline and dense jungle offers many opportunities for exploring and adventuring. This is a great way to intimately experience South America.

A Colombia to Panama sailing trip might not be a usual vacation, but it will certainly be a memorable one. The cost is moderate as exotic vacations go, and there are many reviews online from people who have made the trip and are eager to share the details.
