I'm still planning the trip. I will be leaving from NYC to all the way down to Chilean and Argentinean Patagonia, work my way up to Iguaçu Falls where Argentina meets Brazil and Paraguay and make my way east till Rio de Janeiro and stay there a couple of weeks then head north up to the Amazon forrest.


If you planning on heading down south from the USA let me know.

Hi: am leaving from Nova Scotia, I tell everybody 1st Aug but if ready earlier will go then, your plans sounds a lot like what I am planning. Will probably stop in Guatemala for a week of spanish lessons on the way through. Want to head down the Pacific side to Ushuaia and back up the Atlantic side as well.

Keep in touch, there's a few people leaving on about the same schedule

Cheers Philip

Hi Growler and Walace......I to will be headed in your direction....have already been in touch with Growler.....since have had a friend join my trip. We will be leaving Sept 1st from Ontario Canada and I expect crossing into Mexico within 5 days. As yet I do not know the easiest or safest crossing. Would like to avoid the Pan Am. Currently considering crossing At Nogales.
Hope to see you on the road.
Bob

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.
