Cusco accommodation

Any up to date info on good cheap accommodation in Cusco for a few days R+R. I expect to arrive in town in about a week so if anyone wants to join me for tails, both cock and tall in the Norton Rats taverna, get in touch. Ride safe.

We stopped here for a week about 2 months ago, about £10 a night and plenty of company

Hi Guys, I thought you were off to Mongolia. Well done for getting to PB, I'm hoping to join up with the lover of Latinas in about 3 weeks for his 30th b'day in Cartageña before sailing to Cuba on the Stahlratte. The Estrella in Cusco was fine except for the mass excavation of the street it is on, a major obstacle course before the ski jump to get into the quadrangle. Real adventure riding. Ride safe.

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.
