Has anyone used Motoaventura?
We are traveling to Chile and looking to hire a bike from Motoaventura, just wondering if you have used or can recommend using these guys? Thanks

Motoaventura
HI Judith
I haven't actually rented from them myself, but I met and stayed with Sonia and Roberto when I travelled through Chile on my own bike. They were really nice and genuinely friendly people who also help out travellers (always a thumbs up in my opinion).
I met a couple of their customers who seemed delighted with the bikes and the guiding they'd received.
They've been around for quite a while, the longest ones in southern Chile and seem to have a good customer base, so they must be doing something right.
I hope this is useful, maybe someone else has actually rented from them.
If you do go with them, tell them Tiffany says Hi from China.

Motoaventura
Hi Judith
I went on four guided tours with Motoaventura between 2005 and 2008. They were amazing trips. Roberto and Sonia are a great couple, very friendly and professional. I wouldn't hesitate to use them for a rental, or for a guided trip.

More good words
and another one, here in China, Mark who I sat next to at dinner last night, said he used Motoaventura a couple of years ago.
He hired a BMW 1200GS from them and did a one-way rental to Puerto Natales. The bike was great and he had a fantastic time- he says he would definitely recommend them, he's not a member of the HUBB otherwise he would post about it himself.
have a great time in Chile Judith
Hasta la vista
