Colombian Rain
Come on down! I am in Bogota now, and have been all over the north for the past 4-weeks. I have had to ride in a couple of sprinkles, but nothing more. When it does rain, its in the late afternoons or evenings.
When you come into Colombia, make sure you get the full 60-day allowance stamped into your passport. I got 45-days for some reason and was denied anymore. You will want as much time as possible here.
I used Freshair Charters out of Portobelo, Pan to get me and the bike down here. Nice experience. FRESH AIR CHARTERS - Home

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.
