A MUST SEE IN ARGENTINA

Hi All!

This mail is just to let you know that if go in Argentina, you need to stop at "La Posta Del Viajero En Moto". Since 12 years, Jorge and Monica are receiving travellers from all around the worlds at their place. They built a room with kitchen, beds there is place to camp. There is a garage to service motorcycles. They have such a great hospitality. ALL you NEED is there. The inside of the place is really pretty with bike parts, painting on the walls from travellers. You'll see yourself when you'll get there.

The address is:
La Posta del Viajero en Moto
Calle Mendoza 685, Azul
CP 7300, Prov. de Buenos Aires
Republica Argentina


Jorge and Monica are waiting for you!!!

Yes their place is easy to find!

It is well known by the people in the city.

And You can ask for the major street "25 de Mayo" and then in which direction is the street "Mendoza".

Or stop at the camping at the entrance of the town if arriving from the south. The guy will guide you with his car. That's what happen to me cause I did not have the address at that time.

He will also be going to a motorcycle meeting in Tokyo, in gratitude for all what “La Posta” do whit the travellers.

Jorge "Pollo" Cuatrocchio viaja el 1ero. de mayo a Japón. A las 20 horas parte el avión desde Ezeiza, así que los amigos motociclistas que lo quieran despedir, lo podrán saludar a partir de las 17:30 horas.

En representación de La Posta del Viajero en Moto, invitado por los motociclistas japoneses que pasaron por Azul en diversas oportunidades, el popular (entre los motociclistas del Mundo) "Pollo" estará visitando la planta de Honda Motor Co. También se hará un Encuentro en Tokio en agradecimiento a todo lo que hace La Posta con los viajeros.

We will be there to drink some Mates and some Medialunas whit him, if anybody is around see you there!!!!
Regards
Javier & Sandra…….

Hola!

I would love to be there, but as you know, i'm now about 15'000 kms away from the 'posta'...

Javier, could you say a big hello to Pollo, and wish him all the best for his trip to Japan from me? Thanks!

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.
