Travel Tips
Theoretically, you could get through the Darien Gap in dry season if the car is rugged enough. The drug traffickers and rebels would probably take your car, money and possibly your life. That is no exaggeration. Everywhere else is quite OK as long as you stay on the Panamerican. The Peru-Bolivia border closes a lot due to labor strikes and blockades.
Others
You can get there by bicycle if you want to, just don't drink the water.
There is a road, however if I remember correctly it is not fully paved. The off roading part of the trip is substantial, and you should only do it if you are experienced. (ie: don't try it in a off the lot Blazer.

I remember a land rover or Such show on Discovery about it. it anit' easy.
Definitely. Just prepare to deal with A LOT of sketchy borders patrols.
Yes, if one was to drive on the Pan-American Highway. It will be a long drive but not impossible

You can drive to Panama, but once you reach the The Dari茅n Gap the Columbian Rebels will take your SUV and if you're lucky... they'll let you walk home.

Here, you should take a Ferry from Colon, Panama to Cartagena, Columbia... if you can.

Good luck.
