जो नमस्ते,
Try contacting the Indian traveler in this ride report:
Jammin thru the Global South - ADVrider
I have been following his travels through the global south. He was in South America last year and should be able to help you with any information you may need regarding visas etc. for Indian nationals.
Hopefully others on this board will have helpful info.
Kindest regards,
John Downs

Jo,
Jay Jammin, mentioned above, is a great resource for that. Very helpful guy, a close friend of mine.
I will be following his footsteps in a small way for 3 months from Argentina to Colombia. i might be able to help during or after my trip with advise.
However, right now, i can tell you that 3 weeks is woefully inadequate to see anything more than one single country. I plan to take 3.5 months and that is rushing it. PM me if you like.

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.
