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.

Most tourists will want to work through a reputable tour company for this sort of vacation. Local captains run their own services, but the tour company can select the ones with the nicest boats, best customer service, and excellent safety records. This will minimize mistakes, both on board and in the ports you'll visit, and keep expenses down.

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.

If you are almost persuaded that this sort of small group vacation is for you, go online and look at tour company sites and the official sites of the two countries. The pictures of the scenery and the descriptions of sights to see and adventures to experience are very enticing. You can visit ruins of lost civilizations and walk down streets dating from the colonial period, or enjoy the nightlife of modern downtown areas. You can ride a zip line over the jungle canopy, bird watch without ceasing, and visit four and five star resorts.

Colombia to Panama sailing vacations offer a way to see what resorts don't show you. Check out the moderate cost of five days at sea and read reviews of others who have gone before you in this tropical adventure. You might just find that the idea of living close to nature's wonders, having a lot of leisure time, and experiencing things most tourists never see is attractive.
