How Bus Crews Eat, Sleep & Survive 120 Hours on the World's Longest Route (Rio to Lima)

How Bus Crews Eat, Sleep & Survive 120 Hours on the World's Longest Route (Rio to Lima) Right now, somewhere between Rio de Janeiro and Lima, a bus has been moving for four straight days. Six thousand two hundred kilometers. Two countries. Five drivers, across the whole trip, split into two separate teams. At this exact moment, in the thin air of the Peruvian Andes, at four thousand seven hundred fifty meters above sea level, one of them eases into a curve. He has not made the whole trip. He boarded a shift back, in a city he will not see again on this trip. For the next several hours, getting several dozen sleeping passengers over a mountain pass is his entire job. Nobody on board has any particular reason to know his name. #bus #rio #lima
