Like anywhere in Latin America, the biggest danger is to be robbed, which may happen if you travel alone. Bus transport is decent and reasonably priced, although not as cheap as in neighbouring countries like Bolivia.
To cross from Colombia to [[Panama]] you ve got to overcome the [[Darien_Gap|Darien Gap]]. You can do that by booking a five day trip with a private sailing charter from Cartagena, although it's often not cheaper than a flight. Moreover, you might get in trouble if one of your fellow travelers decided to smuggle some cocaine out of the country. *It is possible to cross from Panama to Colombia without paying $200-$1000 for a private boat of plunging too deep into the Darien - the trek involves a few minor ferries and long walks down east-coast Panamanian beaches. If you persevere, you can find a way and will get across; nevertheless, the Panama-Colombia border is one of the more dangerous places in the western hemisphere, and should not be taken lightly. You might also find passage working on coconut-trading boats, but be prepared for a several-week ordeal.
