Take A Colombia To Panama Sailing Vacation

By Serena Price


There are really only two ways for tourists to get around in the area where Colombia To Panama sailing tours operate. Visitors can either fly or they can go by boat. Commercial cargo ships, from modern carriers to tramp steamers, ply the waters, as do private yachts. However, sailboats that are designed to carry passengers in comfort suit most vacationers best.

These passages for a limited number of people are operated by individual captains who own their boat and will take guests aboard. It's hard for vacationers to check out the customer service, amenities, and safety records of Colombian captains. However, it's not hard to find an experienced tour company with a good track record of finding reputable sailboat captains to show vacationers a great time.

These two countries were once united, first as a Spanish colony and later as an independent country which later broke into four countries, including Venezuela and Ecuador. They welcome tourists and are proud of their unspoiled natural beauty. They have miles of unspoiled beaches - some of the most beautiful in the world - as well as historic sites, jungles with exotic wildlife, and hundreds of islands inhabited by Indians.

The trip by sailing boat takes about five days. Few experience the peace and serenity of ocean sailing, with the beautiful coastline on one side and the horizon on the other. Talk about getting away from it all. The cares that you need to escape on vacation will vanish like mist before the tropical sun in this ocean paradise.

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.

If you like, you can charter the whole boat for your family, and friends. If you travel with strangers, you'll have ample time to really get to know them and perhaps make new, lasting friendships. Fresh seafood caught that day will be the basis for the Caribbean cuisine you'll feast on.

You can go online to read accounts of travel posted there, to see pictures of spectacular scenery, to find out what sights you might see in either Columbia or Panama, and to read about the San Blas or Rosario Islands. Between unspoiled beaches, clear aqua-colored water, dense jungle, and historic towns and cities, this is a great way to get an intimate look at South America.

Colombia to Panama sailing trips might not be for everyone, but there are great tales posted online from those who took this challenge and loved every minute of it. Maybe it's time to make some memories that are far from ordinary.
