Argentina 2015

December 5-6, 2015

Why Come to an HU Motorcycle Travellers Meeting?

You can meet people who don't think you're crazy for wanting to ride your bike to South America or Africa or across Asia, or even around the world! Admit it, all your 'normal' friends and most of your family fears for your sanity! So, this is your opportunity to meet the people who will encourage you in that craziness, share their experiences and advice on how to do it, and maybe you'll meet them again in Mongolia or Timbuktu!

On the road now? Heading for Ushuaia? stop in to the Meeting - you'll meet loads of other travellers heading south - or north! Swap information and make new friends!

all the travellers - and their dogs

Location for 2015 will be in La Boca, the "Los Trentinos" campground as in previous years.

The plan

The general plan is simple.

Show up Friday, have a drink, tell some lies, have another drink, eat, talk to people, sleep!

On Saturday, lunch on a boat cruise on the Rio Negro. The cost of ticket for the boat is 40 pesos for the boat, and the price of lunch on board is currently unknown, but will be more or less 30 to 70 pesos. (BUT expect an increase!)

On Sunday we will go to the countryside for Patagonian lamb on the farm of a friend, the price is 110 pesos each, with salad, wine and ice cream too. (Price NOT confirmed but this will be reasonably close)

Monday, time to head south for Christmas and New Years at Ushuaia, or east or west or wherever!

Costs:

The event is free to attend!

Meals, boat rides etc not included.
