User [[User:lukeyboy95|lukeyboy95]] tried to cover the gap in March 2014 and had considerable difficulty leaving from Carti Island, and as such, would recommend against going here. Tourism has also caused the native people to develop a slightly ugly side. They wouldn´t allow me to camp, or even take photos. Much more preferable El Porvenir for larger cargo boats. Having sadly given up, lukeyboy95 took the paid speed boat which was priced $115.00 all the way to the Capurgana. This was non negotiable despite numerous attempts. Took 9 hours. Please note that you can go almost the whole distance towards Caledonia, which the locals paid $50.00, and from there it may be easier to pick up passing boats. Another update was from Capurgana to Turbo is now priced at $30.00 and the pier area has restricted access and immigration check passports, making it difficult to find rides from here too. Perhaps head towards Acandi, as it is less touristic.
:''I Hitchhiked from Portobelo to Capurgana. The best bar to meet captains is called "Casa Vela", just ask the locals and you will find it. It might takes days/weeks but is doable.
