you can by a world insurance through e.g. Home, or write Nowag in germany nowag@t-online.de
Although not all countries are covered, Colombia for example is not and you will have to buy insurance at the border, which is another option for the other countries too altough sometimes it is not available at the border itself and you have to drive to the nearest bigger town.
We travelled through all SA countries again last year and this time have been asked quite a few times for insuranceproof in the Guayanas, Venezuela, Peru, Paraguay and Argentina.

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.
