Colombia is the only country in South America that borders both the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans. Panama to its north shares the same distinction as well as being the narrowest country in Central America. Globe Trekker Megan McCormick visits Colombia and Panama, countries that are still refreshingly untouched by mass tourism. Her first stop is Panama's lively capital, Panama City, where she takes in the sights, samples street food and shops for a Panama hat. Then she ventures outside of the city to the famous Panama Canal which links the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and plays a crucial part in the Panamanian economy. Megan's next stop is the 'Comarca' of Kuna Yala in the San Blas archipelago, a semi autonomous region belonging to one of Panama's main indigenous groups, the Kuna. Her journey continues in Colombia's capital Bogota, where she explores the country's violent past and connection to the cocaine trade. From Bogota she travels to the beautiful and historic city of Cartagena, taking in the colonial charm and enjoying Vallenato, one of Colombia's most popular rhythms. The last leg of her journey begins in the town of Santa Marta where she treks into the jungle with archaeologist Santiago Giraldo to find a Lost City perched on the slopes of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Along the Way... Meet the "Armani of bullet proof clothing" in Bogota, Colombia. Learn the truth about the Panama hat. Spend the night with a Kuna family in the San Blas archipelago. Visit the Pablo Escobar exhibit at the Bogota Police museum.

Hola Panamenos y Colombianos
Wonderful and exciting and very helpful for bringing back fond memories of Latin America. Nice trip down the third world as it was when it was still somewhat tame.

Interesting but stereotypical
I thought the Panama/Colombia Globetrekker DVD was interesting but not a good reflection of Colombia. My wife who is from Colombia thought it offered a slanted view of Bogota as a dangerous, militant city. Instead of showing the more cosmopolitan aspects of the city it was portrayed as dangerous and poor. The visit to the cocaine farm seemed strange since it's illegal. Also the lost city visit and the interview with the sipritual guru who chews coca leaves all day plaued in to the stereotype. Interesting to watch but not up to GT's high standards.

just an stereotype
Colombia is famous for its violence. but it is just like saying Americans are white. this video does not show a reality but just an stereotype of what people ( who have never visited) think about this country. it is a pity how a video can be manipulated.
