Question Texas --> Costa Rica

Hello,
I am going to Costa Rica in june and was wondering if any of you has already been there and therefore can suggest places to stay (hotels) and Routes.
I am interested in both the Belize to Costa rica route and the Costa rica to Mexico route for when I came back.

I have around a week from Belize to Costa Rica and another from Costa Rica to Mexico..

Cheers

Alberto

Which of the two land borders are you referring to?

Where, What

Buy a guide book, decent map, dream a little bit, and play around on the Internet.

Not sure what you are saying here. In 2003, I went into Belize from Chetumal, around Belize for a few days then into Guat at Mencos. Great trip. Didn't see any bandits (unless you are talking about the "helpers" and "money changers"). :=) Border crossings were very easy and fast. I am heading down again in October and plan to use some of those border crossings again as well.

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.
