Entered the Guinness Book: The Longest Bus Route in the World Crosses 30 Cities and Starts in Brazil Heading to Peru

The Longest Bus Route in the World Links Rio de Janeiro to Lima, Crossing 6 Thousand Km and Impressive Landscapes

The Brazilian coastline, famous for its beaches and landscapes, also hosts the starting point of the longest bus route on the planet. This journey connects Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to Lima, the capital of Peru, in a true land marathon.

The total distance is approximately 6 thousand kilometers. During the journey, the bus crosses different Brazilian states and advances through Peruvian territories, traversing varied and challenging scenery. The trip takes, on average, five days.

Along the way, there are 30 stops in important cities. Among them, São Paulo, Campo Grande, and Cuzco stand out. Each stop represents a strategic break for passengers to rest and for driver changes.

The experience provides a series of striking landscapes. Passengers observe rocky cliffs, mist-covered areas, green expanses of the Amazon rainforest, and the mountains of the Andes. The diversity of scenery is one of the major attractions of the trip.

The route begins in Rio de Janeiro (RJ), passing through Guaratinguetá (SP), São Paulo (SP), Pardinho (SP), Santa Cruz do Rio Pardo (SP), Regente Feijó (SP), Presidente Venceslau (SP), Nova Alvorada do Sul (MS), Campo Grande (MS), and Coxim (MS).

Then, it continues to Jaciara (MT), Cuiabá (MT), Cáceres (MT), Ponte Lacerda (MT), Comodoro (MT), Vilhena (RO), Cacoal (RO), Jaru (RO), Candeias do Jamari (RO), Porto Velho (RO), Vista Alegre do Abunã (RO), Rio Branco (AC), Brasiléia (AC), and Assis Brasil (AC).

In the Peruvian segment, the itinerary passes through Puerto Maldonado, Cuzco, Abancay, Nazca, Ica, and finally, Lima.

The company Transacreana, based in Rio Branco (AC), is responsible for operating the service. In 2016, the route was officially recognized by the Guinness Book as the longest bus route in the world.

To ensure safety on the long journey, the company adopts a system of alternating drivers. This measure is essential given the natural challenges of the trip, such as the high altitude in parts of the Andes.
