Perhaps you could explain why you think Colombia is a major obstacle to traveling from Central to South America.I have been traveling & working in Central and South America for many years and have never found Colombia (other than the Darrien Gap) to be an obstacle to travel. Over the years I have made several crossings from Panama to Colombia by boat as well as flying.
*The last time was less than three months ago.Feel free to email me if you have any other questions.

Get to Panama and catch a boat to Caracas or wherever, there may a cruise ship that is doing that route.

You don't, unless you can chartar a boat or have a friend with a boat. However there are land routes via parts of Colombia and Venezuela that are as safe as say Guatemala and El Salvador (neither are safe by U.S. standards but you didn't mention them as obstacles).

If you have a car, you can put it on a boat and have it shipped either to Ecuador, Venezuela or Peru. I've never done it, but I've read that it is common and that there are two ways to do it: on deck and in a container, with the latter being more expensive and more secure.

If you don't have a car, you'd have to fly, since there's no land passage through the Darien Gap into Colombia. Copa Airlines has flights from Panama City to various South American destinations.

A boat? 3 methods of travel: Land, Air and Sea. You have eliminated 2. I don't think going underground is an option.


The "L" Word
There are no cruises however you might be able to negotiate with a passing cargo ship heading in that direction if they might be able to transport you. Cargo ships in the Pacific tend to bring passengers to remote locations such as Pitcairn Island and Easter Island and so there is a slight possibility they might be able to accomodate a passenger if they are heading to Ecuador. Otherwise you will have to drive or fly.
