Brazil HU Meeting is ON, Iguazu, March 29-31 2013!
I know lots of you have been waiting and wondering what's happening, so here's the good news - it's all sorted and it's HAPPENING in Iguassu!

The bad news - err, there is none!

Rodolfo Datsch has stepped up and is hosting the Meeting, so many big thanks to Rodolfo!

It's a Mini-meeting, so there is no charge for the event, just pay for your own food and accommodation. All the details to date are on the Registration page at:

http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/events/brazil-2013

There will be lots happening but we'd love to have YOU present your travel story or technical clinic on just about anything travel related, so go to the page and register and let us know you're coming and can volunteer.

The current plan is to make this an ANNUAL event, last weekend in March, so if you can't make it this year, get it on your calendar for 2014.

We hope you have a great time!

Sounds like a fun time! I spent a few weeks in Iguassu last year and had a great time at the hostal. Its a lovely area and there is a very strong biking community in Iguassu. Rod, the organizer has extensive contacts in the area and he and his friends are very hospitable.

I wish I could be there for this.

I'd love to participate but unfortunately, due professional reasons, this year I will not be able to attend the meeting. If this event become an annual event, in 2014 I will do everything in my power to be present.

Confirmed bikers
I´ve already confirmed about 15 bikers, most of them brazilians from cities around and still some overlanders about to confirm.
I know it was a short period of advertising but be sure that everyone that comes will have a good time.

Cheers

Have there been any dates and/or locations set for a 2014 meet. I will finally be in the right continent at hopefully the right time for a change and would love to attend.
Any movement on this one yet?
Cheers

Hu brazil meeting 2014
Hey Mark,

thank's for asking about the meeting, and yes, We got a movement about it already, check it out and spread the word:

2nd HU Travellers Meeting Brazil 2014 will be on 22-23 FEBRUARY 2014 (not March!) in Foz do Iguaçu(Iguassu Falls).

I belive that's a good date cause people will have time to into Brazil, be on the meeting and then you still have time to head into Brazil for the Carnival.

We're about to confirm the detailsof the meeting with Grant but you can put this date on the calendar.

Regards

Rod

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.
