Hey guys, if anyone is passing through Cuenca, Ecuador and needs a place to stay.
Hey guys, I am studying Spanish in Cuenca, Ecuador for a month and if anyone is passing through and needs a place to stay or wants to meet up for s/riding (not in that order) let me know. My place is pretty modest, but it is not too bad.

Hola Geoff, como estas ?
We´ll be passing through Cuenca soonish & a sounds great
We planned to stay in Cuenca a day or two anyway before heading off to Peru.
btw have you heard any runours re Peru & the police ? I´m searching the HUBB but so far nowt. Last night in Cali 2 guys were telling me that one of them was handcuffed to a police car whilst they went through his luggage, and ther other one had his bike nicked by a copper who jumped on it & rode away ... only to return an hour later having rifled his things. plus minor incursions like the only biker to get a ticket amongst 20 peruvian bikers for parking legally, generally stopped frequently & harrassed.
Cheers

Estoy bien
Hey Scouse and Sara, that sounds great. Cuenca is a really nice city and I think you should like it. I will call my friend tonight so I can get you directions on how to get here. My friend knows the best hostels, motels, and restaurants and I will send you that too. If you want you can always stay here too.
BTW: I have not heard any negative stories about Peru except the ones in the thread you made. I did hear to be careful when crossing the Peruvian/Chilean border though because the 2 countries are in a feud.

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.
