Horizonte Tours

In September 2016 I went on the Pyrenees trip with Horizonte. Some years earlier I had been on two South American trips. The Pyrenees is known for its twisty roads and stunning scenery. As with the South American adventures the Horizonte Pyrenees trip was well organised, well thought out and visited as many places of interest as could be fitted-in. From my previous experience it goes without saying that the hotels were first class and the food excellent. I have no hesitation in recommending both Horizonte and the Pyrenees trip.

My son two friends and I toured Salta in April of 2016. We had a great time and only wished we could have stayed longer. Matias our tour guide, Frank on the sag wagon, the bikes, accommodations, route were excellent, and the scenery unique and worth every penny. We always felt safe. Highly recommend to anybody who would like to enjoy motorcycle riding, beautiful roads, and great food.

We had a great 3 day ride with Horizonte Tours. Salta, Cafayete, Cachi and back. Amazing scenery and pictures for a lifetime. Our guide, Mathias, was a local Argentinian and provided great instruction and information along the way. His always pleasant and attentive attitude really made the trip easy for us and allowed us to focus on the ride and the adventure. Frank drove the chase truck and went out of his way to help us capture some amazing pictures and video to take home. Overall, the trip went very smoothly thanks to the preparation and organization provided by the Horizonte team. Hotels we more than adequate, pace was good, bikes were in perfect shape and meals were good too. We will be definitely considering Horizonte for our future riding adventures.

The tour of the Pyrenees with Mattias was a great ride. Each day had different roads, and scenery so the riding was really varied. I particularly enjoyed the small backroads that only an experienced local guide would know about but all the roads were excellent. I feel as though I really know the Pyrenees in depth having ridden them in both directions, always on new, but consistently entertaining, roads.The other elements of the tour were also really good; the bikes were faultless, the hotels were of a high standard – the paradores were particularly interesting – and the food was very high quality.On my tour all of the riders had ridden with Mattias before and all had come back for more which says a lot.

I already miss Argentina. So many memories. The rough mountain road leading to Andalaga. The brilliant colors of the Puna, the beautiful Lerma Valley, and the deep canyons leading into Salta. Thosands of miles of gravel roads defining the phrase “the road less traveled”. Twisty curves leading through narrow canyon walls and the harsh environmental beauty of Salinas Grande.Who could forget Argentina’s beautiful picuna gracefully ambling from the roads of Ruta 9 and 51. The wildness Ruta 40 still has to offer before being tamed by the Argentina governent. There is also the cultural history Argentina has maintained. And, of course, the kindness of the Argentina people.
