Alternative Shipping Roads to Rome?

9 years ago
I understand the concepts of traveling light & making new beginnings, so please spare me the diatribes about how it is best to leave everything behind and just swim to Ecuador... My question IS: has anyone tried shipping (a pallet or two at the most) to any countries with borders contiguous with Ecuador? Y'all talk like doing the extra baggage thing is the only (sensible) way to go, but with the exception of Tam, 3rd, (and sometimes 2nd) Checked bag fees are "skyrocketing" ($250++ per). Also, there are Cruise Ships from the West Coast to Valparaiso and Cartagena but NADA to Manta or Guayaquil. Perhaps it is possible, and practical, to land in Peru with a few LARGE steamer trunks, then bus your stuff up the PanAm & across Ecuador's southern Border? HAVE YOU HEARD OF ANYONE DOING THIS? IF SO, WHAT WERE THE RESULTS? Namaste, C7
