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.

China has begun the second phase of energy assistance to Cuba with a 120 MW solar generation plan, and the first result is a photovoltaic park with batteries that regulates voltage, controls frequency, and provides local autonomy to an island suffocated by chronic blackouts.

Germany installed vertical solar panels on a lake in Bavaria, and the result broke conventional logic: instead of producing energy at midday peak, the plant generates more early in the morning and in the evening, exactly when families turn on appliances and factories are in full swing.
