Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 лис 2024
- From Brazil’s Rio de Janeiro to Lima, Peru, the world’s longest bus ride takes 100 hours and spans 6,300 kilometers. Hop aboard for an unforgettable journey along the South America’s Transoceânica highway!
The first leg of the journey starts on the Atlantic shore, exploring the Costa Verde, one of the most beautiful coastlines in the country. But it’s not long until the bus crosses into Mato Grasso, the agricultural heart of Brazil, where soy fields and sugar cane plantations dominate the landscape.
The region is also the home of the rodeo, a regular event in the villages along the Transoceânica route. We even find female rodeo riders here in spite of all the cultural prejudices.
Parts 2-5:
Part 2: • From Rio to Lima - Tra...
Part 3: • From Rio to Lima - Tra...
Part 4: • From Rio to Lima - Tra...
Part 5: • From Rio to Lima - Tra...

Great documentary, can’t wait to watch the next episode tomorrow when I get home from work. Well done!
Wow what a great documentary...
DW Documentary cool
I just keep on watching this documentary over and over again, I've no idea why it makes me so happy 😊 it's like accomplishing an unfinished task. Love from Mumbai, India 🇮🇳 ❤
Same feeling here 😍😍😍
@@ethiopia9782 So glad that some stranger from a far away country feels the same as I do ❤

Reminds me of my bus journey through Assam.

Went from são paulo to bolivia, then to chile and back to brazil through argentina all by bus. It was by far the coolest trip I've ever done, have seen so many things and so much nature and culture. Some people are used to travel only to famous cities and places but that's not all there is to it. Go see the most remote places, know the people and their daily lives, their stories, eat and laugh with them it will worth your while. These places feel like home.
Hi @Victor Gabriel,
Sounds like an impressive trip! Thanks for sharing your experience and taking the time to comment. Check out our travel playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLovlAKbQVz6BE-32_-Q5ojt-Pgqap-Ye9.html
We hope you find something you enjoy!
Best,
The DW Documentary Team
Exactly same way I used to visit places. Visiting remote places, cultures and people sometimes give me more contentment than visiting famous tourist places.
My very first trip ever was from Santiago to Sao Paulo. Brazilians are super friendly and the trip was amazing and unforgettable. Respect for Brazil.
Naive to think brazil as an viable option.
No way!!! I am Peruvian, and I have some family in Brazil as well. I had no idea this bus route existed!!! I am so excited to look into it!
after completing 5 consecutive episodes, I am again repeating. How beautifully the whole journey has been depicted by DW team. Most importantly, DW team is making an appeal for environmental conservation. You guys did a noble job without even realizing you are too good on your purpose. Hats off to you DW.
What a beautiful documentary, I'm a bus driver in South Florida, DW you did a great job, best of success for Peru and Brazil!
Saludos mi amigo.
I'm from Sao Paulo and seeing that bus around here heading to Lima was so mind-blowing. These guys are heroes!
I am from Bangladesh. We love Brazil mainly for it's football. Wish one day i will travel around this country.
and you will be very welcome!

What a fantastic human story!! I have now binge watched all 5 episodes... just couldn't stop. In general, this is probably more substantive than watching Planet Earth, Human Planet or other similar documentaries. Despite having been to Peru, I felt I learned lot more about the people, their culture, politics, socio-economic issues and life in general in these 3.5 hours.
Dear DW - Thanks for making this wonderful documentary. Kudos to the producers, director and crew... each one of you involved here is a great storyteller... an art-form that is dying out in the over-commercialized world of American reality TV. You must keep making such documentaries because there are still lots of people like us that revel in this. Thank you!
Thank you for the kind words!
Thank You Friends
Sourojit Dhar MP for your
The documentary shows the deep southamerican.
Sourojit Dhar i am from the philippines. I wish one day i could ride trhat bus
Embarking on this epic 6,300-kilometer bus journey from Rio de Janeiro to Lima is like chasing a dream across stunning landscapes and cultural diversity. It's a reminder of the incredible tapestry that is South America. Thanks to the documentary for sharing this incredible voyage!
I remember traveling some 40 years ago from Buenos Aires, Argentina to Asunción, Paraguay and finally to San Paulo, Brazil. It took several days through then many part unpaved roads. Each night we would reach the stops with restaurants with live local music by the bonfire. While driving through Paraguay the soldiers guarding the highway wouldn’t let the bus go through for a whole day because of rain afraid the bus tract will ruin the muddy highway. What a trip that was!
Brazil is beautiful. Love from India.❤️🌺
Thank you DW for this. Now i have traveled and gone through Brazil without even leaving my house. Love it! 😉💛
Hi @Jayb Ministros, we're really glad you enjoyed the trip! 😊 Thanks for watching and commenting.
I crossed South America by bus in 2000-2001. It was the most amazing journey.
I once worked for Greyhound bus company in australia while i was at university. I worked in Canberra, where i studied. An older lady maybe 65-70 needed to get to Perth for her sons wedding, and couldn't fly due to medical conditions or perhaps fear of flying (i didn't pry), and she didn't drive. Greyhound stopped running a direct east/west route due to low demand. She had to bus all the way to far north queensland, across to darwin, and down the coast of western australia. Pretty much a coastal round trip of half of Australia. It was close to 10,000 kilometers and was to take well over a week, and was about an $800 return fare. She booked it and took the trip at least i saw her depart canberra. For her it was the only option, the train from Sydney to Perth is a luxury service only, costs about $3,000, there are no boats, if you can't drive or fly its the only way over there.
Definetely, this is the best documentary from this German channel. Beautiful people, beautiful touching stories. I've been in more than 40 countries and this trip is in my bucket list thanks to you guys.
So u Have takes this Bus ? 1 day I would take this trip
I started watching DW first of all for international news then came across the documentaries shown on it. The scale of variety and variation are unique and unmatched as well the camera work.. After a very long time I feel that I am watching something so articulated, refined and touching. I don't know why but I have a very keen intrest in Central Asian countries, Mongolia, Chile, Peru. But till now I have hardly came across good quality and neutral-balanced documentaries about them, now I have a lot of them, thanks to you people. For past three days I am watching DW documentaries only, here on UA-cam as well as on television. Keep making them.
But Chile and Peru are not in Central Asia, they are South America. Greetings from Ghana.
Well said!
My name is Balu and I am from India. Now working in Kuwait. I am a big fan of DW documentaries
DW has some amazing documentaries. This did amazing justice to the people involved!
One day 🤞🤞I have to take on this incredible journey.
DW has the best documentaries. Salute from Uganda
Thanks for the support! Greetings!
"From Rio to Lima" deserves a documentary award--well done! 👏
You’ve got to give respect to those drivers and the people making those journeys, such an insightful documentary and I’m only just starting this journey with episode 1
Hi @graham bishop,
Thanks for watching and for your positive feedback so far! 🙂 Let us know what you think when you reach the end of the series, we always appreciate hearing from our viewers.

@@DWDocumentary hello team!
Loving this series so far I’m currently on episode 4, it feels like your on the bus journey with them it’s brilliant, I really hope you do a follow up documentary on where these people are today I really hope they made a home for themselves again and those German travellers are they still there?
So I’ve just realised that these documentary’s are 3 years old do you guys have any updates on the people who featured in them
This bus takes the coast road from Rio to São Paulo, along the seashore. It takes much more time between these two cities than traveling the land road, but it is really gorgeous. Better than meet heavy trunk traffic. The cost of a flight Rio-Lima is much more expensive than all the expenses of this long road trip ( bus ticket plus the meals, and the load of patience). If one doesn't have to make this trip as necessary, on the other side, it's an opportunity to travel through the farlands of Brazil and stop at some of the western main cities. Of course, the regular traveler won't have that kind of deep experience shown in this documentary. "The bus will be your home for six days". After all, I guess (as a southeastern brazilian) it must be an unforgetable way to know Lima and meet the Pacific Ocean. The Andes mountains seem to emerge suddenly in the plain landscape, in a kind of geographic magic.
Wonderful documentary. Shows the humanity of the people and the beauty of the landscape. I live in the US and we just don’t have the depth of culture that exists in South America. This film makes me want to visit again! Thanks!
A very nice road documentary, thanks for sharing such journey. From Malaysia.
I have learned to love the world!!! Thanks DW!! ❤️🤗 Love from the Philippines! 🇵🇭
Wonderful documentary! I highly recommend it! All 5 parts! I live in Brazil and no TV station here could do such a beautiful series!
Belize central America sending love to Brazil!!✌🙏🌎🇧🇿🇧🇷🤗💖💯
Its beautiful documentary and i keep on watching it again and again
Thanks for watching! Be sure to check out our channel for more content. :-)
This is absolutely amazing ..It's feels like me myself traveling along with other amazing passengers and the bus driver. Really enjoying this documentary.
Have watched the doc a dozen times. I can not get enough of it. Beautiful human story.
What a beautiful travelogue documentary.
I would love to take this journey before dying.
South America the most romantic and mysterious continent and to start from Atlantic coast all the way to the Pacific coast must be a spiritual experience.
I live in Asia has never been to South America but would love to visit the most mystical continent on the planet.
Dw ..great stuff ...reminds me of traveling through Eastern Europe on a bus in the mid 90s ....hopes, dreams .....I will always empathize with those traveling bus in all parts of the world .....sons daughters ..mothers fathers ......the eternal circle of life .....
I really like the bus driver Daniel. He seems to be really nice.
Absolutely love South America. I've been to Peru (lived there!), Chile and Colombia. Argentina and Brazil are next on my list!
story of south america: the bus drivers start off talking about leaving early and end up leaving an hour late.
First trip ever... Ya fuck it, we'll just go and see Copacabana beach. Doesn't matter if we're a couple of hours late.
Lol all bus drivers even me
Hehehehehe Priceless
hugues pamphileygggvv

Probably one of my best docs on UA-cam, I saw it when it premiered, now I watch every year.
This is just gorgeous - the people, the scenery, the lives - and of course just that it is possible to cross South America by bus! As an American although I've never been to Eurasia, I have been to Sao Paulo - twice - visiting friends I met online and seeing it as a native rather than a tourist. Fantastic.
Doctrine Monroe, mate, America to Americans
I once took a bus from western to eastern Newfoundland in Canada. It was a 13 hour trip with 25 stops. I’m not sure, but we were either 10 minutes ahead of or behind schedule. Amazing!!!
Once I traveled from Vitória, Brazil, to Maceio, Brasil. 30 hours! When I get there, I was almost died. hated it! Hahaha
I love DW documentaries honestly .
Me too!
Watched ALL 5 episodes and enjoy all of it...thanks for sharing very educational, different cultures, food....the people are so humble, Bus Drives are very caring, good people,
I love this documentary series so much! This is my second time watching it. I really want to visit South America one day, and see all these amazing places.
Going addicted for this series ... Being a traveller... Hoping to be part of this long journey sooner.. thanks dw for your great efforts to make it so lively and lovely
Was in Brazil during the Olympics, what a magical country. Ill be back someday.
kirillka please be aware Brazil put on a show by hiding their bad side.
magical country until you live here...
SethMethCS like any other country

Beautiful south America, love from India
South America is so beautiful.
we call URSAL . union of the socialist republics of south america . huehuehue...

South America is beautiful but countries are horrible!
@@marilynwillett804 only you guys do, if you guys show us flint and chicago gettos you'll have no one at your door

DW is the best
I love Brazil, and i would take that journey to Peru, thats an adventure in a 1/2. kinda like the South American version of the Siberian Express. bucket list worthy.
I love these eye opening documentaries from DW. This is my 3rd for the day! Please keep uploading!
Amazing documentary!
You learn a lot in an hour as you live there
I will visit Brazil inshallah
I have been to RIO in 2012 for about 2 weeks. . Its an amazing city.. Wish to go there again.
I am from Srilanka , really enjoyed the all 05 episodes , and got to know lot about south america
so am i Sir, even your beautifull country .. many times i viewed it ... good evening here in the Philippines
Watching from Southern India, Kerala
Outstanding Documentary .
I like DW documentaries, they are honest in their presentation and easy to understand.
I have already been in this fantastic trip. From Sao Paulo to Lima. It was one best experiences in my whole life. I highly recommend it. Greetings from Brazil! ✌
Artur Britto how much does it cost in dollars if u buy the ticket in lima
joe-dirt 11 according to the video, 160 euros, equivalent to 182 USD
Im asking 2 years late but did you do not all one way nonstop or did you take off in between cities? Is it even possible to stop for a night and catch another bus by the same company going forward?
i have watched it already but i keep coming back to watch it again for travelling to other side of the globe is fantastic and the spectacular scenery along the way ... then we are living in a wonderfull world
humanity as i always see ... DOMINO THEORY we lean on each others shoulder for no man is an island
Make a sidetrip to Copacabana slam a few and head out to Peru. Tell the Grandkids about my 34 years as a bus driver after I retire. That gentleman has probably seen it all. Wonderful video.
