Routes thru Brasil

Hola,
Can anyone suggest some interesting routes across Brazil to Manous
and can I get to Venezula from there, or should I try to ride into Peru on
my way back to the U.S.
We Have just finished the ride from Idaho to Ushuaia and my passanger will
fly home while I head North to Buenos Aires and Brasil.

thanks MAXVERT

Hi, I,m currently in Mexico getting some language training but will head south in 2 weeks. I would be interested in your route from Panama to Patagonia and how long it took. I plan on returning through Brasil from Sao Paulo to Salvador via Brasilia (because I have friends to visit). Don,t have a map with me now but there are not many options if you go North along the East coast and take a 3 day boat trip to Manaus (I want that experience) and by road to Venezula. Salvador is definitely worth the trip in my opinion - skip Rio and Sao Paulo but see Foz de Iguasu (sp.)
God luck

Max - I don't have direct knowledge but generally speaking, avoid the state of Rio and work your way around SP. The coastal routes are generally the best most direct way to Belem where you can pick up a boat to Manaus.

I've driven all around the state of Sao Paulo and have taken the boat route above to Manaus - it's a great trip.

If you want, I can put you directly in touch with Brazilian friends who might offer better advice. I'll PM my email address to you.

Found a pretty good article about driving from SP to João Pessoa. JP is the most eastern city in Brazil...where the sun first touches Brazil. You might enjoy it and the other associated articles.

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.
