Alguien de Colombia al Sur?

Hola,
estoy en Medellin viajando al Sur sobre una honda 250 cc. Viajo entre 200 y 300 Km cada día. Debo llegar a Junin (cerca de Buenos Aires) el 18 de febrero. Alguien está viajando para ese lado?

English ....

Raúl
Sinceramente y de corazón te recomiendo que vuelvas a hacer la pregunta en Ingles, no te olvides que este foro es principalmente visitado por viajeros que no entienden Castellano.
Buen viaje y buenas rutas, cuidate.
Saludos

Raul,

De acuerdo, pero una sugerencia...vas a preguntar en Casa Kiwi, un hospedaje y moto guesthouse situado en Poblado. El dueno se llama Paul Thorenson:

Casa Kiwi Hostel Medellin, Colombia

Buen camino, amigo.

Gracias amigos, de cualquier forma mi viaje ya está definido. Es un intento para no hacer tantos Km solo. En Medellin estuve solamente viernes a la noche y durante parte del sabado, salí a recorrer la ciudad en el metro porque mis nalgas no quieran tanta moto. Casa Kiwi creo que está algo retirada del centro.
Mis saludos...

Gracias Giacomo, pase por Lima el lunes a la tardecita. Queria entrar para cambiar la transmicion de la moto, catalina como le dicen Ustedes, cadena y pinon, pero era tanto el kilombo del trafico en la panamericana que cuando quise acordar estaba en la Panamericana sur y le segui dando. Ahora estoy en Iquique y la cambio aca.
Respecto a tu pregunta sobre Colombia, yo estuve 10 dias y no encontre ningun problema incluso dormi en carpa siempre salvo Medellin y Cali. Pero tenes que tener cuidado, no con la guerrilla o el ejercito sino con la delicuencia comun. Segun ellos mismos dicen, hay mucha gente armada y las usan. Como en todas partes las zonas rurales son mucho mas confiables que las ciudades. Cualquier informacion mas especifica que necesites pregunta. Un saludo

Felicitaciones

Raul,

Somos pocos que hablan espanol aqui en HUBB. Espero que se amplia. Yo soy un sachagringo, Norteamericano crecido en Peru. Todo mi vida he estado con los motos (Pucallpa, Peru). Vivo en este momento en Maine, USA, pero me escapo al Peru a lo menudo para viajar en moto.

Este Junio pasado viajamos 10,000 km en XR250 por el centro de Peru, Brazil hasta Foz, regresando por Bolivia. Around the Block 2007 | Te lo recomiendo altamente.

Que 250 tienes? Escribame en aroundtheblock07@gmail.com

Toby (charapa)

Raul,

Hay muchos personas quienes hablan espanol en Hubb. Yo no estoy en Colombia ahorra, pero he sido leyendo todos de sus mensajes. Si le gustaria escribir en su idioma, esta bien conmigo.

Yo hablo aleman tambien. El problema siempre con la red es que no hay llaves de mi computador para escribir en las otras idiomas.

Voy a manejar la moto a Argentina de Nebraska en EE UU en Noviembre. Y yo espero poder visitar con gente como Ud. en el viaje. Entonces, tomare cada oportunidad para practicar mi espanol.

Fritz

Desde Junin

Hugo, te escribo desde mi casa en Junin, sobre la ruta 7, 260 Km al oeste de Buenos Aires. Yo deje Colombia el 29 de enero y en 16 dias estuve en casa.
La recomendación más útil que puedo hacerte es sobre la Ruta Panamericana en Ecuador. Segun el mapa, pasando Riobamaba se puede seguir por la cordillera o buscar las tierras bajas. Yo continue por la Cordillera porque queria conocer Guamote, un pueblo muy indígena, pero unos 30 Km antes de CHUNCHI la ruta se vuelve un camino de barro y pozos muy feo, no recomendable salvo que viajen en motos enduros.
Cualquier otra informacion a tus ordenes. Buen viaje..
Raúl

Toby,

Yo he leido el website tuyo. Tu eres corecto que las motos pequenas son mejor por un viaje como el tuyo. Un 650 es lo mas peso que me gustaria.

Tu website es muy bien. Y la historia y fotos estaban escrito bien tambien.

Fritz

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.
