Peru or bust
Never thought I would sign up for an organized tour, but a good opportunity appeared and I'm going for it. I believe there are two spots open if anyone is interested.
The ride starts in Pacaras (~2.5 hour south of Lima) on October 30 and ends in Huanuco on November 7, after a ride in the Andes and the headwaters of the Amazon. The base price is $1245 for the tour, motorcycles, lodging, bus to & from Lima, fuel, breakfast and lunch. Dinner is on your own. (Seeking clarification cost/inclusion for airport/hotel transfers and first night in Lima hotel.)
Basically the motorcycles are being thrown in no charge (250 and 400cc.) The operator needs to get the bikes back to Huanuco as some riders from the "first part" need to leave the tour in Paracas...and he has to get bikes back to Huanuco. If anyone is interested, let me know and I'll put you in touch with the tour.
I will send the tour contact details to you via private message. Prefer you confirm the full tour description from the operator, so I don't accidentally get a detail wrong.
PS: The tour is not an tarmac only trip, there will be a fair amount of time off road.
Part two - any suggestions for sites to see in Lima on 10/27 (Monday) and 10/28? I am guessing that most museums are closed on Monday. If an Lima based riders want to connect to a , let me know.

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.
