I m in Asuncion right now.

I entered by Clorinda. I confirm that transit formalities are now compulsary at borders. I was given 3 month on special requests.

I m in a process of nationalizing the motorcycle here, so that i dont have to worry about exit dates any more in Mercosur countries. The import taxes are 35% of the estimated value of the vehicule.

I m staying in a german BnB (Wiebe und Schmidt) not far from the bridge that leads to Argentina, in Mariano Alonzo. I m in heaven. Those people are really helpfull, experts in papers processing, bikers and excellent cooks. I strongly recommend them if you plan a stop over in Asuncion.

I might also apply for a Paraguayan residency. The process seems fairly easy and inexpensive for a permanent card since the country is willing to attract european immigration.

get motorcycle in paraguay

Hi guys im going to spend more than 7 months in South America.
I'd like to buy a motorcycle like 125cc in Assuncion,Paraguay and than travel around South America (i have already done this kind of trip in Asia). My idea is to buy a motorcycle in Paraguay and than cross Argentina-Chile-Perù-Bolivia-Colombia and if i'll still have time, energy and money i'd like get Mexico too.
I have few question:

What kind of documents of the motorcycle do I need before leaving the country(Paraguay)?

Can i (Once bought the bike in Assuncion and obtained the necessary documentation) cross the borders of other countries without any problems?

and could i sell the motorcycle once in Colombia, being it registered in Paraguay? or should be better sell it in Mexico?

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.
