There's normally at least 20 travellers there, often as many as 40!
The two main camping locations - the ski lodge and the park - are the places to find people.
You'll have a great time for sure!

Usually there is something going on at the ski lodge, and always at the campground. Visit both before New Years, there's bound to be people around, and see what's happening.
Have a great New Years!
Grant

Hi
All the traveres who we cross on the road tell us to meet in the campsite inside the National park.
Sorry, we are at home now, we couldn’t go to Ushuaia because the whether was awful. We had too much wind, rain, cold and snow.
We couldn’t arrive to Usuahia but the trip was marvelous. The week end in Viedma with all the travelers at the Horizons Meeting was grate. Most of you were there and it was a pleasure for us knew you Then we cross to Bariloche and then we go to El Bolson. From there we made the road across the National Park “Los Alerces” to Esquel. It was wonderful; there I have my first fall down (and the only one) but no in the grave, Whit the grave but in the asphalt. The bike was more hurt than me, but not so much.
From Esquel we take the road by Tecka to Rada Tilly (near Comodoro Rivadavia). We stay there for two days because we couldn’t go out of the campsite because there was a terrible windstorm. There we decide that we need betters winds and a little bit of rest and we decided to go up to Puerto Madryn.
We stay there a week enjoying the sun, the beach and meeting very old friends and we meet there with Mick and Daniel. So we return to Buenos Aires spending a night in “La Posta del Viajero" in Azul.
The next time we will go to Ushuaia but whit a bigger bike for me.
We are very sorry that we can’t meet you in Ushuaia for the New Year as we promises but we hope you have a very happy New Year and cheers whit us across the distance.
A very big hug for all of you
Sandra & Javier

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.
