Hey. Well we are on our way up. From Porto Velho, take a boat 4 days or see if we can find a plane...then Manaus. The road from Manaus to Boa Vista, they say is ok. But we don´t know for sure yet. Its about 700km. Paved road all the way to Venezuela y Colombia.

In some week we can help you with the details....if we made it to our home safe...so, if you can waith a couple of days, sure we will help you.

boa vista to manaus

Hi Robson Jaborá/SC,

I am still in australia now i am planning to fly to los angeles early to mid August, buy a bike in los angeles and ride through central and south america to rio de janeiro.

so after all the research i have done this section of road looked to be the only section that may cause major trouble if it is the wrong time of year.
the bike I am planning to buy will be a XR 250, 400, 600.
If you have any information about this road and what time of year is best to ride there.
Thanks!!! muito obrigado

If you don't follow your dreams you might as well be a vegtable!!!

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.
