La Paz, Bolivia - Can you recommend a good place to receive a package?
Can anyone recommend an inexpensive hostal or friendly bike shop in La Paz, that could accept a box and some letters from the USA? I`ll be there in a couple weeks, and it would be nice to have some mail waiting for me in safety.

Thanks.

If you will be in Sucre, There is a bike friendly bar called Joy Ride. I believe the owners name is Gert. Perhaps you can do a search for this - if you are not set at a La Paz meeting point.

Bien Viaje,

Jeff

If you are driving through Cochabamba I recommend emailing Coco of Moto Charlie. He runs a great motorcycle shop and is a very nice guy who helps a lot of travelers.

Check out the following for a place to ship to: LA PAZ (PAGE 313) TYNDA
This was recommended to me for a place to store moto, seems like the kind of people that would work with you.

I should send my box past La Paz, now that I've dragged my feet for so long. I sent an e-mail to Joy Ride. If I don't hear from them, I'll try Coco.

Thanks for your help.

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.
