Hi Brian,

I was there about an year ago and the road from Villazón to Tupiza was under construction and it was a mess. How is it now (assuming you came from Villazon)?

Enjoy your trip, I just loved travelling in Bolivia,

I was there 3 months ago, it was a really nice ride, mix of pavement and dirt road. Tupiza to Uyuni was nice as well.

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.
