Transoceánica - Die längste Busreise der Welt

Through the desert to Lima (1x5)

:

In the final installment of Transoceânica, the bus goes from the Andes to the Peruvian coastal desert and then on to the capital Lima. On the high plateau of the Andes, we find vicuñas, a type of lama, which produce the most expensive wool in the world. However, a parasite has recently decimated vicuña stocks, attacking the animals' skin, leaving them unable to cope with the cold and rain. The western slopes of the Andes mark the start of the Peruvian coastal desert, where the Nazca culture developed over 2,000 years ago. All that remains now are the famous Nazca Lines, enormous geoglyphs etched into the hard floor of the desert. The road then turns north to Pisco, where the local fishing trade has been badly hit by the El Niño weather phenomenon. Finally we arrive in Lima - just two days late.
