You are absolutely right. Once you reach Panama you will have to ship that mog on a boat to either Baranquilla, Guayquil or other ports. It takes about 2-3 weeks of transit time during which vehicles and their contents are often plundered of their components and valubles. We flew our bikes from Tocumen Panama to Cucuta - not an option for a heavy vehicle. I guess an armored vehicle could come in handy on that part of the trip to keep the wharf rats out. Take lots of CASH, mogs are heavy.
