Argentina to Columbia to States in April?

I am moving back to the States and will be riding my bike north in April. Anyone going in that direction at the same time?

Hey guys, I'm in Brazil rolling northward to Venezuela where I hope to ship to Florida. Let me know if this is on your route and maybe we could meetup somewhere. Also like to hear what you know about shipping from SA to NA as I don't think it's as easy as coming down. Don't forget to checkout the problems Colombia is having with it's neeighbors right now, might be a tough country to ge in and out of for a while.

Cheers

I'm riding north in Brazil now and will be in Venezuela before the end of March, so I'll miss you. Are you crossing the continent from Mendoza to Brazil before heading north?

so I arrive on march 24th (not 23rd sorry)

my rough cut schedule (not fix, just to give you an idea)

week 1: Santiago to San Pedro de Atacama via Mendoza and Socompa pass
week 2 - 3: Bolivia
week 4 - 5: Peru
week 6: Atacama desert
week 7: Santiago and back home

If you want to know how I travel, take a look at i-spog --- explore my trip

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.
