Nominate me as a Local Expert



I'd like to visit Isla de Ometepe, Nicaragua, then proceed to San Carlos by boat, then take a boat to the Caribbean Sea (via San Juan river), and finally continue my trip southwards all the way to Bocas del Toro, Panama.

The only problem seems to be that there are no border crossing points in the region. Is it possible to work around this problem, maybe by taking a ferry or something.

Looking forward to any comments smile.gif

According to LP there is a "litttle used and sketchy" crossing mainly used by tour groups from san juan de nicaragua to barra de colorado (CR), you canhire a private boat for $140. And from barra de colorado you need to get a flight to San Jose, and the customs might be quite intruiged as to what you're doing there
