La Carrera Panamericana del Sur
From caribbean Portobelo (Panama) to colonial Antigua (Guatemala)
Carrera Panamericana: Have you ever heard of the Holy Week and the Easter Week Processions in Antigua, Guatemala? It doesn’t matter whether you are believer or not. Antigua at Easter time is a fascinating spectacle that you simply have to see! This classic touring rally is set up so that we arrive in Antigua exactly on Easter week.
4,111 km – Central America from South to North
The Carrera Panamericana del Sur (South Pan-American Rally) is 4.111 km (2.555 mi) about 1.011 km (628 mi) longer than its big and famous sister, the La Carrera Panamericana. (The Carrera Panamericana was previously driven for 3.507 km (2.179 mi), now the length is only 3.100 km (1.926 mi).)
Our Carrera Panamericana del Sur crosses Central America completely from south to north, we drive some stretches on the ‘Panamericana’.
As with all of our rallies, the focus here is clearly on a luxurious atmosphere and relaxed cruising with plenty of time for sightseeing and socializing with friends old and new. You don’t need any special equipment or competition papers. No tricky map work, no night driving or car breaking terrain. Your personal guide will accompany you throughout the entire rally.
By the way, if you are looking after La Carrera Panamericana dS for something really tough & rough, ask us for the Darién Gap Challenge .
Starting in the colonial port of Portobelo, Panama
We start the rally at the old customs house in the historic caribbean port of Portobelo. From here it goes along the isthmus and the panama channel to the old town of Panama City. Here we have a fantastic view of the coastline with the skyline of Panama. We continue on the Pacific side of Panama to Costa Rica to our residence Equis One. Vehicles can be swapped here if desired. Then we drive via Nicaragua and Honduras to Guatemala, in the latter two countries accompanied by the tourist police.
Arriving in Holy Week in Antigua, Guatemala
We arrive exactly at the Easter processions in Antigua, Guatemala.
Antigua is – without any doubt – one of the most beautiful colonial cities of all but this will be topped again for easter week. Look forward to an unforgettable experience!
