I'm assuming that says the trip takes 5 days. Eh, probably wouldn't do it. I imagine the sightseeing would be very nice though, assuming you don't get held up by narcos.

I don't do buses.
I only do planes and taxi, thank you very much.

There must have been at least one couple in that group. Imagine what the guy felt as he saw his girlfriend being carried off by force. Imagine him listening to her screams.
one good thing about buses is with luggage there is ample room for it. (though their overhead shelves are often laughably short in height
Now maybe you go somewhere dodgy - it is out of sight.
but some trains if full -there is not enough room for luggage.
the death road is now a mountain bike route. they built a new highway that is vastly, vastly safer.
I have biked the death road and its fine on a bike but would be a nightmare in a car. people still get themselves killed biking it, or at least the guide said they do. i think he wasn't lying since he was pretty unwilling to talk about it.
either way, peruvian buses are pretty comfy and an eighteen hour ride is pretty manageable. this seems out of control though, and I'd rather just spend the money to fly that route.
>Same. 3+ hours in a bus sucks.
No it doesn't. You can sit there, no cares in the world, look out the window, listen to your headphones. It's one of my favorite parts of travelling.
how in your absolute room temperature IQ mind is that even close to the same thing? Airplanes are being checked before and after each flight by highly trained personnel, flown by highly trained personnel who use state of the art computers and communication to ensure a safe flight. And that is somehow basically the same as Jorge the busdriver making 500 bucks on a 5 day coach ride fighting the urge to sleep and crossing some of the most dangerous roads in the world.

LMAO if Jorge made 500 bucks for a week of work, he would be paid twice what a doctor makes in Buenos Aires

Same. 3+ hours in a bus sucks.
I think I've watched. But wasn't São Paulo - Lima?
>does not know camino de la muerte
Literally called death road in Bolivia.
the death road is now a mountain bike route. they built a new highway that is vastly, vastly safer.

>now
There was a fricking Deutsch Welle documentary on youtube about this bus service back in 20fricking17
>2 front axles, 2 back axles
what is even going on there. Do all 4 front tires steer independently?
There is no fricking way I would ever ride on a bus over the Andes
But flying 5 miles above the earth is okay? Lmao

Jorge the bus driver probably doesn't even make $500

Pussy

Why the frick would you want to go to Lima?
