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.

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

A giant brown band visible from space, approximately 8,850 kilometers long, connected Africa to America in the Atlantic Ocean, and satellites revealed that it is neither land nor pollution, but the largest accumulation of seaweed in the world, which broke records in 2025.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

In just one cast, fishermen are surprised to capture 14,096 mullets in Bombinhas and close a historic season with 58,000 fish; scene recorded in the Santa Catarina paradise marks the last day of the 2026 season.

Consumers eat six times more chicken than in the 1960s, global meat supply quadruples in 60 years, and FAO report reveals the invisible cost on the plate: livestock could drive 80% of the increase in agricultural emissions over the next decade.

Greek island offers free housing for volunteers, but there’s a condition: you need to take care of rescued cats.

Motorcyclist sees excavator arriving at the edge of a river in Bosnia, calls neighbors in minutes and turns a hydroelectric project into a resistance lasting more than 10 years with five expired concessions.

Fish farming becomes the new giant of Brazilian agribusiness and transforms tilapia into the “water ox,” in a chain that already moves R$ 11 billion per year and exceeds 1 million tons produced.

With 3.3 million liters of water, 23 thousand square meters, and more than 300 species, AquaFoz ranks among the largest aquariums in South America.

Greece’s old power grid came under suspicion after 15 major fires, 51,000 acres burned, and low-hanging cables crossing dry areas like clotheslines on windy days.

Indigenous teenagers paddled nearly 500 km by kayak along the Klamath River after 4 dams were removed, salmon returned to ascend the waters, and the United States celebrated the largest removal of this kind in its history.

Sewage returns into homes in a poor city in the USA, residents lose furniture and live in fear of rain while a $30 million repair attempts to contain old network failures.
