Presumably you need to be there yourself for the border crossing and to hand over the bikes to the shippers in Montevideo, so I'd look for a shipper to Buenos Aires - much easier to avoid crossing a border with someone else's bikes as cargo - and from BA it's an easy ferry trip across to Colonia or direct to Montevideo. Also, BA is a wonderful city to visit.

In reality, I think it will be much more productive for you to look for a trucking/freight forwarding company on the ground in Ushuaia than asking on an English-speaking forum, but indeed, perhaps some other HUBBers have done something like it.

By land there are a minimum of two border crossings between Ushuaia and B.A.

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.
