Anyone traveling South America NOW? or up for TransAmazonica in Jun, July
Hi there,
Anyone travelling now north South America? I'm in San Pedro de Atacama, Chile and heading north to Bolivia up to Iquitos , Peru.
Im travelling alone, and my avrage speed is 80 -100 km/h , so can´t keep up with those fast on the roads- Also I'm after adventure places, unpaved roads but also I touch on my way the main interesting places .
Usualy I sleep in the tent, and travel on the budget.
Let me know if one of you are around and would like to travel for some time.
About me: Male , 32, romanian with latin spirit, that means I have no problem to get close to people!
I speak also french and spanish.
See you on the road!
Alex

In Bolivia
Hey Alex,
I'm in Bolivia now on a CGL125, heading for Peru. My man is accompanying me to Lima, Peru, and then a girl friend is joining me from Lima to Piura, and then another friend from Piura to Quito (one week each). I'm on my own after that, heading for Colombia and then up Central America. Would welcome a travel buddy.
Best,
Elisa

Hey Elisa,
I´ve just arrived in Bolivia in Uyuny heading Potosi and Sucre , and 2nd to 4th May would be in Macha, not far from Sucre to see an original bolivian festival its called Fiesta de la Cruz - Tinku. After that heading to Yungas Road and so on. Ill stop going north around North Peru or Ecuador because I will cross the Amazon in Brazil. Let me know if you guys are around and heading the same road, would be nice to meet.
Safe,
Alex

In July I will probably crossing the Amazonas, are you riding that way to Brasil? I'll probably do a combination of boats and ride if I get in Iquitos, where I intend to stay around for a while. Still planning , not decided yet.

In Peru now
Sorry Alex, I didn't see your post until just now. I'm in Huaraz, Peru, heading north to Quito by May 25th. After that, Colombia. Looks like I'll miss you if you're heading into the Amazon! I would LOVE to join you for that, but I have to ride home to Seattle by early September.
Let me know if you think we'll cross paths.
Best,
Elisa

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.
