Leaving Recife (PE), Brazil, the route follows the coast, and as much as possible, we will cycle on the beach's sand until Belém. From there, we will take a 4 days boat through the Amazon River to Manaus, where we wil cycle toward the Transamazonean Highway (a highway intended to reduce the isolation and promote the economic development of the Amazon Basin, thesedays largely abandoned because of controversy over the environmental hazards following deforestation). It goes through Porto Velho (RO), before it meets the brand new Pacific Highway from Rio Branco (AC), through the peruvian amazon around Puerto Maldonado (Madre de Dios), where a fantastic transitional scenery goes up to 4800 m altitude before it goes down to magic Cusco, Peru. From Cusco, we will roll hills until Lima, the capital of Peru.Together, the Transamazon and the Pacific Highway become the Interoceanic Highway, linking the Atlantic in Brazil to the Pacific in Peru.
Beaches + Amazon + Andes. From the Atlantic to the Pacific.
