I'm quite aware of the dangers - I'm working with experienced travel guides in C/S America on the feasibility of this venture. If it's too crazy we will not do it (or at least not all the way). I'm hopefull to be able to pass through Nicaragua - Colombia may be the show stopper indeed.

I have done exploration treks in Africa and Asia to find new routes for travel agencies. Especially Africa required all time guarding of the vehicle. The abductions and killings in C/S America are being taken very seriously.

In this forum I was just trying to address the 4x4 aspect - I seem to find confirmation the LC is the best choice. Any reasons why not?

However - I'm more then interested to hear experiences from people who traveled the area. This venture stretches to explore commercial opportunities also and we are looking into sponsoring also. I like to invite anyone interested to sent me an email. Thanks!
