Hi all,

Thanks for help

Hi Sam

You sure you wouldn't like to leave from Argentina instead of Brazil? You undoubtedly know the pros and cons of sea vs. air shipping, but here's the link again:

If you are planning to ship by sea, we suggest you go with a large company who have reputable agents at both ends. Anyway, here's a couple of starting points, for sea shipping companies that have been recommended out of Argentina to Europe, but are international.

Hellman Worldwide Logistics has a Recife office.

Suggest also you do a search on the words 'shipping Brazil Europe'. There is a RoRo option if you want to travel with your bike. See the following post for more details:

Good luck and let us know how you go. Don't forget to fill out the Shipping Form when you're done, so that other travellers can benefit from your experience.
