Sumario:This review summarizes and discusses recent research done in the field of cosmic ray propagation in the interplanetary medium. Current ideas about the solar wind and the heliosphere are treated. Particle propagation from different approaches is discussed in the context of solar particle events and results on transport coefficients are compared. Transport in the outer heliosphere is also reviewed.
