From Rio to Lima - Transoceânica, the world's longest bus journey (3/5) | DW Documentary
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
- From Brazil to Peru via the Andes, the bus crosses its first international border as it continues its trip through the Amazon of South America. This section of the Transoceânica highway is known as the “Gold Road”, where fortune hunters and adventurers illegally pan for gold.
A raid on illegal gold prospectors is underway. The Peruvian government estimates that 20,000 people are panning for gold here - illegally. At the end of May 2016, most of the region of Madre de Dios was declared an emergency area after mercury used in gold extraction threatened to poison 50,000 people.
Every few months, raids are carried out - but with limited success. The panhandlers return to their sites soon after the police have left. During the raids, the prospectors sometimes block the highway for days.
But the Transoceânica bus passes through this region without incident.
Parts 1-5:
Part 1: • From Rio to Lima - Tra...
Part 2: • From Rio to Lima - Tra...
Part 4: • From Rio to Lima - Tra...
Part 5: • From Rio to Lima - Tra...

driver is living legend god bless dw giving him the lens and time for his story
Such a wonderfully positive guy.
Belize central America I'm from sending love!! Respect to the driver!! He's a legend!!✌🙏🌎💖🤗💯
Now i'm halfway done in my journey from Rio to Lima, what an exciting trip it is so far, i'm not only seeing the roads but also the great sights and sceneries along the way. And not only that but you also meet people however indirectly, you know about their cultures, traditions and their way of life. Transoceanica 3/5 done. 💛
So this bus is still running? How much was it?
@@Sunrise_Sunset355I think that now another company operates the route, TransAcreana, but you can try to find Ormeño
I watched the whole documentary in spanish. i didn't know there was an english version until I began to deeply research this channel. You guys do a great job to provide valuable information. Giving many people without a voice, an opportunity to let the world know how their lives are being affected. You guys deserve more credit and a much bigger audience! The german people continue to amaze me with your involvement to help others. My family was once sponsored by a German woman, through a program in Ecuador. I was a kid then, I am now very thankful I found your channel because it has inspired me to help others in the near future. I will keep watching your videos to learn more about this obscure world.
Actually it's the simple people that need to help the westerners. Not the other way around. Money does not equal happiness or contentment. Money only equals luxury. Luxury does not equal happiness. Only the spirit of the Lord gives that. Westerners need to learn this lesson. They need to see the happiness and contentment of simple living people. It shows that more money doesn't mean happier. This is a deception. It's evil. One day.more people will begin to understand this
Excellent DW!
The documentary stands out in many ways --- especially how you present people who usually have no, or little, voice.
Hi Hari M, thanks for appreciating the details with regard to professional documentary work! We keep on working to convince you
Episode 3 and I already feel like I’m one of the passengers on the bus. I feel like they’re all my friends and we’ve had an adventure together. Thank you DW for your amazing stories of everyday people this the bus driver and his passengers
On a rollercoaster journey ...viewing this just made me grow wiser as a person.❤️
In Canada, Mercury poisoning was rampant at Grassy Narrow Native Reserve, in Ontario, as a result of Mercury contamination from local paper mills discarded into local rivers. Fish, an important food for Indigenous communities, caused an outbreak of Minamata disease, damaging many people. The same thing may happen in Peru as well, sadly.
Wow, what a documentary👍😊!?
I wanna be on this bus - all the way from Río to Lima and, when arriving in Lima, I probably want more!! What a wonderful experience... absolutely ón my list of places I have to visit and try..
Thanks so much for sharing!!
DW your documentaries are amazing. This series is one of my favorites. Really interesting to know the daily life of working people rarely featured. The people were all connected by a bus route. Very well put together. 👏🏻
Hi @Resuri A.! We're happy to hear you liked this documentary. Thanks for watching :)
Fantastic job, thoroughly enjoyed it. But at the same time, so painful to watch the forests cleared up or destroyed by the illegal miners. So much destruction, seen on DW channel's courtsey. Thanks for your uploads..
They drove 5 straight days of nothing but trees and forests. It the crocodile tears and constant political nonsense of the programs narrator that makes the viewer think that all the trees are gone
@@todeotodeo140 you literally see a military raid in the video. STFU.
Great work, especially the camera work is amazing.
niteen kalyan only from Germany! I love German engineering..cars..technology!!!
No
the document stands out in many aspects - in fact the people in bus are so voiceless against the things unfolding , but taking it the way happily. the music solaces the watchers as if am in the bus traveller. well done, lifetime documentary forever in my list
solaces
Congratulations to DW for this amazing documentary, one of the best I have watched in years.
Only one episode to complete the series. Keep it up.
Greetings from an Spanish man!!!
Hi @ÁLVARO VEGA, we are glad you enjoy our content. Thanks for the positive feedback :)
The commentator ,picture quality are both the best.I'm a big fan of your page DW keep up the good work.
im not a fan of series but when I saw the first one, I just cant stop and will sure finish all 5 of this one great documentary... thanks DW for a great film!
Massive fan of this Channel and the documentary is awesome!
Beautifully done and, at times, painful to watch. Thank you.
I am Malaysians and my hometown was Kuala Kangsar in State of Perak glad to see the orginal Rubber tree from this video
Before 80s Malaysia is the largest rubber producer ib Malaysia and Kuala kangsar is the first Rubber tree were planted
after watching part 1 and part 2, i have never been this excited to watch other part, it's so thrilling to see what could happen on the road.
Phenomenonal quality on your videos! 👍👌👏
Great experiance.. Driver sir !!!Hats off... god bless you
I worked for the mining industry in Canada for 14 years, and I'm flabbergasted what I see in this documentary. Our mine had to be approved even before starting-up operations. It had to comply to a whole set of mining regulations including environmental ones. The effluents called tailings had to be contained and treated. The mine was subject to regular mine inspections to ensure compliance. Other thing is, that the government required the mine to set aside a considerable amount of money in escrow account each year, and collected there for future reclamation works, after the mine closed down. The differences from what is depicted here and what I experienced is enormous. The local government be it the Brazilian or the Peruvian, should've never let those enormous damages occur just like that.
The Canadian government has been corrupt in it's own way. Salmon farms for example. Well documented corruption. Stands to reason that the gold mining industry is corrupt also. Highly probable.
The gold mining was not approved by the government. Listen more closely
This a well put together documentary
Why does it seem like only Daniel who is already the oldest is driving🥺☹️. Only saw very few shots with the others. Pobrecito. Beautiful docu by the way.
11:56 buddy got a little excited on camera AHAHAHA
The longest passenger bus journey...and longest DW Documentary...
This was the most exciting episode.
Am planning to tour Peru too
daniel mancilla regarded most patient person to drive such long routes that has many uncertainty.
Thank you DW, your work is remarkable!
Keep watching DW for the last 21 years brillant...good job!!! Making the world smaller in bigger view..😊
Incredibly well made documentary. Bravo.
The documentary and the channel itself are very well made. Absolutely to recommend!
It's German. What did you expect?
lol my first time seeing what's inside a condom factory..
wonderful series.
Thanks for The Documentary on this incredible trip that I must take it one day!
waaaaaw really amazing.best series ever watched. thank DW

Perfeito documentário
Hi Francisco,
gracias! May be you´d like ua-cam.com/channels/Q1GpKa15ulyoQuxz7H4rng.html ?
Best wishes, DW Documentary
This breaks my heart
Wow! It's such a great documentary. I'm inspired to do a similar one here in the Philippines. But I still have to finish the rest of the episodes throughout the night.
If you do one, please don't complain and ruin the entire show and turn it into an environmental and political propaganda. Westerners need to realize that they don't need to help simple people. It's the simple people that need to help the westerners. Money does not equal happiness or contentment. It only equals luxury. Luxury does not equal contentment. Simple people that are believe in the Lord are blessed. They are happy and make do with what try have. It's the puffed up and high minded westerners that are unhappy. They are unthankful and ungrateful and assume that they are blessed more then the simple people of developing countries. WRONG!!!! They have much to learn and probably will be never learn this lesson. To watch simple people have contentment is beautiful and inspiring. Then to listen the westerner commentator complain the whole show and bring the viewers down with her garbage thoughts process. Did the film crew ride their bicycles to Rio de Janeiro? No. Is their film equipment made from plastics and metal? Yes. Did they fly in a plane to get to the film site? Yes. Please do not allow yourself to be brainwashed. Especially being from the Philippines. The most Christian country in the world. The most blessed country in the world.
Amazing work DW!!!!
Watching 11.27 on loop
Am actually surprised that there was only one border crossing, the rest of the kilometres were actually in between Brazil itself
most of it is protected indigenous lands, so there are not many routes
The level of the environmental degradation is really appalling!
@ 17.33. "Travellers have to pay import duty " . ( or slip them a brown envelope .). They prefer the latter usually . And it's much quicker ..
Awesome documentary. Keep it up.
Amazing series showing the true extent of the destructiveness of humans in the forests and the disregard for the animals and the children by cutting trees and poisoning waters and rivers
Awesome journey...Thanks DW.....
I will share this such beautiful country indegnious secrate grounds should be protected by all means
When it got to the condom part I just totally felt like I had no idea what I was watching anymore lol
They put on a big show a couple of times a year but I’ll bet bribes are what really prevent any serious crackdown on the gold mining.
Great Documentaries DW Channel , well done edited this is my new ,,netflix" thank you
Excelente documental muy bien por la persona que narra.😁
Wonderful documentary.
There must be some mordern ways to mine the gold without polution.
The parade part is reminiscent to small town parades here in the Philippines
That's because of the Philippines' historical contact with Mexico under Spanish rule.
39 illegal gold prospectors disliked this video.
DW great work.. Already subscribed.
Thank you! I really want to visit the place of Bangladesh
this documentary deviates from the main topic lots of time
Mom got admitted to hospital and stayed there for three days, that's why i skipped watching DW yesterdays. But now I'm back. This weekend I'm going to binge watch all these docu. Yas!
This episode taught me to advocate people to have more sex and use condoms, so people can keep their jobs in condom factory. Plus, i like how the german guy nagged about the regulation in the border when he had to bring his bag to have it checked, the other one nagged about being late to the destination due to road blockage (in the previous eps)... lol.
I also noticed one of the cameraman got to be in the helicopter, which is kind of SUPER COOL!
Btw, this one eps has too many ads. But I watched them anyway, because I love DW and that's the only way I can support them.
the driver should be a Cabinet Minister for his experienced ... see different world's of South America's capitals ... LIMA of Peru, Quito of Equador, Guatemala of Guatemala and their beautifull and spectacular scenic views customs and traditions where only books gives you that access free before ...the hard copy now the soft copy of modern technology ... gracias
I found this treasure too late!
Nice Trip
I'm now addicted to DW documentary lol
I love Oscar. Thank you DW Documentary
What a shame it happened to my dear Peru. Rain Forest looks like some day will disappear.
So bad for the next generations, those wastelands are like hell.
Yeah, and they blame only Brazil. Bunch of idiots
Viewing from Kenya
It's creativity. condom ❤️
Crossing over. (16:00)
6:36 Tapping rubber.
30:40 Police response.
100m condoms is 1/5 of the total demand, so that's 500m. There is an adult population (15-69) of roughly 145m, which would mean each adult uses about 3.5 condorms a year. I doubt it.
Yeah, maybe they were talking about the public free condoms demand. Most people buy their condoms in drugstores from big companies. It do not make sense that the free condoms from the government fulfill 20% of the total demand.
I suggest doing a documentary about how a fertile, virgin, and awesome natural ecosystem and National Park like Canaima, in Venezuela. It is sad, pathetic, outrageous and tragic how the narco government of Nicolàs Maduro lead the Colombian guerrillas such as ELN, as long with local and Brazilian criminal mafias and the illegal gold digging has destroyed such a natural reservoir and killed hundreds of natives of the region. The damage is unknown, from the satellite view the world can appreciate the devastation. The Venezuelan government does not care about the situation, it is only interested the gold and coltan production to pale the critical economic crisis and the money devaluation, the highest of the world. This is a topic of huge importance to the world. DW should do a documentary about it. The Venezuelan people and the world will appreciate it.
Note: Crew special protection is needed. The criminal mafias (Iranians, Russians, Chinese, Brazilian, Colombians and Venezuelans) are a serious concern in the area. The destruction and corruption is the highest level.
What is the upstairs of the bus look like?
i think it might have berth

so much lost in translation.
Hi Ronaldo,
are you aware that we just opened "DW Documental"? ua-cam.com/channels/Q1GpKa15ulyoQuxz7H4rng.html
Thx for being with us - Dw Documentary
I think that they shorten it, otherwise the documentary would be very long.
From which of the four languages involved in the production?
👋Hi..I am from India.I like Traveling 😘😘
In my imagination..I am also journy with you..
🤝for it
300 to 500 euros a day.wow that's quite a lot.
This is heart breaking
Sadly there is no version in Portuguese of this doc, oder ich habe es nicht gefunden... achei isso bem decepcionate! I 'd like to show it to friends who can't speak English or Spanish ...
Very interesting. ❤❤
35:54 wouldn't destroying their property cause them to mine more because now they have to replace something they had
Very very nice film
The bridge at the 20:17 min mark looks like the "Golden Gate Bridge" in San Francisco, California.
I love Patrick and Fernando from Germany. Where can I see them again?
So they wanted to chase the miners and when there was a drizzle they hid under a hut built by miners XD
bravo
Kinda weird that Iberian America doesn't join a union together
there´s two... one on the sulth corner called Mercosul and other union of the andes. Its because the
andes mountain range cut the sulth America in two parts...
The Junks ya
Hell no! Brazil already did it with Argentina and Uruguay and keeps getting fucked by Argentina.
That part send their worst to the US of A we don't need them
Some communists wish for something called URSAL: Union of the socialist republics of Latin America. I doubt anyone will accomplish anything though.
Anyone who owns or uses a mobile Phone knows that there are small gold wires and chips made with gold inside his Phone. So who do you think is also guilty now with gold digging up in the Amazones?
So is this route still operational?
An they are very right in doing so
This destruction must stop these are secret grounds indegnious
I find Human's unlimited wants and greed to be the biggest threat to the Planet Earth .
Really ? I suppose you live in a hut in the forest ? No internet or mobile phone ! You eat only food that you catch or gather yourself ?
Make your own clothes ? If not -
then please spare us the Hypocrisy !!
why do the authorities not stop the gold mining destroying and polluting the forests....
condemning gold mining in south america while tearing up the earth for oilsands (legal)...
20:05 double lane! :o
11:20 So what do you do for a living?.... Uhhh
" They can't pin it on anyone ". Never heard of joint enterprise? Pin it on all of them acting together.

Nice 👍🏽
