We're planning to spend Xmas this year in Ushuaia!
Trip will start from Colombia in May, where we will be flying from the UK, then all the way down, via Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Brasil and Argentina! Hoping to make it to Viedma meeting this year as well!
See you in UShuaia!!!!!!

Alright Maria! It sounds like you'll be taking quite a bit of time along the way- more than twice the time I have planned and half the distance!
What is the Viedma meeting? Something I should know?
Anyhow, I'll keep an eye out for you Brits.

a place you should go.
The Viedma-meeting is a place you simply should not miss.
It's in the beginning of december, in/near the town of Viedma (Argentina, on the coast 1000 km south of BA) and it is GOOD !
From there you can ride in groups to Ushuaia for Xmas.

As Maarten says, HU Viedma isn't to be missed. Oscar Knecht and his family and friends are wonderful hosts and the meeting's a nice size to get to know everyone a little.
Regards, Mick

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.
