Its a great trip

I am currently on a trip from Los Angeles to Uruguay. I am in Venezuela at the moment and went from Panama City to Bogota by air freight. Shipping the bike would have saved me about $250 US but it was so risky. The chances of losing way more than the difference in price made it an easy decision to fly the bike. Flying it was a reasonably easy process.

Definitely no carnet needed for South America!

Cheers
Maurice

Boat from Panama to Colombia

Captain Mark at freshaircharters@yahoo.com does trips on his 40`sailboat back and forth between Portobello, Panama and Cartegena, Colombia. 525 USD dollars for you and the bike. Five day trip with two days in San Blas islands. I will use him on my return leg North.

I used this dirtbag Italian named Leonardo on my way South. Never again.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
