Thanks, cool I will be in Colombia in June 5 on part of my round the world trip, it would be great to meet up again ( UK Overland show was the last time ) thanks Andy . Landyandy4x4 😁
Thanks for putting such a detailed video together. I’m curious about the lithium battery shipment, did IVSS helped you coordinate that? Would you mind sharing the cost? Also is it only lithium or AGM, gel batteries aren’t also allowed. Grecias amigos 🙏🏽
You're welcome. They certainly can coordinate for you but since you're shipping in August, I would wait and see what changes might be in store. We were told that there is suppose to be some new rules to formalize the battery situation by June.
Hello Specifically , how much did you pay to release your tourism car ?? Unload the car ( container ) customs , documents ? .. how much was it ? Do you need an agent ?
Hi Dan & Marlene. I am actually from Colombia. Is there another way to contact you other than the Spotify voice message? (email perhaps?) I would be happy to help anyway I can. Safe travels 👍.
I am thinking to do this trip. But have seem a lot complain that shipping employees break everything to try to steal all they can do. Nobody is responsible for this ?
While that it's true for most, it isn't for all. Not all shipping lines and ports have the same reputation. You can find actual videos of people's vehicles being broken into right here on RUclips. And this fact has been confirmed by multiple shipping agents as well as people we've met. Even though so far it seems that we don't have anything stolen, we've not checked everywhere, and we know for certain that at least one person climbed thru our driver seat and into the rear of the van and attempted to open locked bins and compartments without success. They left clear evidence of that in our vehicle.
Thanks so much!!! Will look for the podcast too. Right now our ship date is June 7. We’re looking forward to seeing you on the other side.
THank you for such valuable information
Great info. Thanks for sharing. I plan to send my suburban from Houston to Cartagena soon. Hope it works. I live in Guayaquil now.
I am definitely saving this video .. very very helpful .. thank you
Colon, Panama to Cartagena, Colombia

My goodness! $5K+!!! That’s insanely expensive!

I will ship from Miami to Cartagena .. cheaper and safer but I know how nice is to drive around all those beautiful small countries ./
which company are you using to ship your vehicle? I am also looking for the same route.

Talk to a shipping agent is where I would start. You'll only find anecdotal info online
The crews on the ships will never steal from ur car, I’ve been on RORO ships, it’s not worth $100 of theft for a years salary
