RIGHT. Peru was the source of the problems in the first place. Sorry, long thread.
If you do make it into Colombia, your best bet to get to Central America might be one of those boats that run from Cartagena through the San Blas, because you stamp into Panama at El Porvenir, which is the Comarca Kuna Yala - i.e., an "independent indigenous autonomous region." Ie, a cocaine transshipment region where officials see way worse shit every day than a wayward gringo missing his papers.
From Panama to Costa Rica, DEFINITELY go through Rio Sereno, Panama, to San Vito, Costa Rica. Paso Canoas and Sixaola are super high control, but Rio Sereno is a border town where people cross back and forth all day and night just to go to a friend's house or make a phone call (some phones are on the Panama red, some are Costa Rican). There's like one guard post, no fences, it's easy.
I bet it would be super easy to bribe your way through the main Nicaragua-Costa Rica crossing at Peñas Blancas. Set it up with a taxi driver in Liberia, they'll hook you up. The Los Chiles crossing might look easier, but it's militarized because of the constant saber rattling over the Rio San Juan, so don't bother. From Nicaragua to Honduras is also super easy, go to Waspám and just a canoe across the border to Honduras. The whole area on both sides is controlled by the Miskito Indians, who could give a fuck about whatever is going on in Managua and Tegucigalpa.
From there, IDK, but maybe some of that info is helpful! Keep us posted, I'm rooting for you!
