Trans Acreana operates world's longest bus route from Rio to Lima

The bus route operated by Trans Acreana, which connects Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to Lima, Peru, has been recognized by Guinness World Records as the longest bus journey in the world. The trip covers more than 6,200 kilometers, traveling from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean.

The journey takes approximately 126 hours and 30 minutes, crossing six Brazilian states and six Peruvian regions. Departures from the Novo Rio Bus Terminal occur every 15 days on Thursdays at 11:00 AM, arriving at Lima's Atocongo Terminal after five days.

Passengers experience significant landscape changes, moving from plantations and forests to the steep, winding roads of the Andes Mountains. The route reaches an altitude of 4,725 meters at Abra Pirhuaiany peak, where travelers may experience altitude sickness. The itinerary also provides proximity to the Nazca Lines and other tourist destinations such as Cusco.
