Ferries from Panama to Colombia on the Pacific side?

For walking/biking (or driving) from Mexico to Lima, Perú, the ferries in the Caribbean from Panama to Colombia add a lot of distance.
I could save a lot of road if I could go on the Pacific side.

There are towns/villages in both countries on the coast with no visible roads in aerial photos, so access must be by air or water.

Best Answer

There's not much infrastructure in either side of the border, so I don't think there's any ferry service. And even if it did, you won't find any immigration office in the Colombian side (the largest/closest town is Bahia Solano (Ciudad Mutis), and it doesn't have one).

I recommend traveling by the Caribbean if you want to stay on the surface, or fly Panama-Cali, it's possible to find some cheap flights...
