Hmmm okay - we have just travelled through all of South America.
Colombia was very expensive at nearly US$5 a gallon.

Argentina - where we are now has been US$1 per litre (3.80 pesos) basically everywhere we have been - town or village... we have been North to South and now in Rio Gallegos. It will be the lowest expense you wil have all trip...

Its so expensive down here for eveything else.

Cheers

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.
