We should meet you somewhere down the road. As we plan to cross into Bolivia from Brazil at the Pantanal in January!

Adventurous greetings,
Coen

I hope that it's not to late for this info. but whatever you do, do not use the "Indiana" booking agency or "Ecological tours", as they are both unbelievably bad. Having said that the Pantanal is worth a visit just don't let the above mentioned try and ruin it for you in fact if you have the time pop into Bolivia and use one of their Pantanal tour companies, far better value for money.

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.
