Mika. can you give us an idea of the weather in sept ?
thanks
the weather.

September is spring for us, or the end of the dry season (winter) and the start of the wet season. But Samaipata is not tropical, as we are at 1700ms, so it does not rain that much in the rainy season.

Expect temperatures between 25-28 C in daytime and 18-20 C at night.

for a European the weather in Samaipata is perfect, warm but never too hot, cool but never too cold.

hope this helps.

Saludos

Hi Sarah and Merv, are you still in Ireland dreaming about the next journey? I think it will take you back to South America one day. In my little cabana I have a fridge now, so I dont only live out my bike panniers anymore ;-) ... see you when you get here. A hug mika

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.
