Express bus from Lima, Peru, to Bogota, Colombia

Great news! Cruz del Sur just opened up a Lima to Bogota route this year. It leaves every Wednesday. The trip takes 3 days 3 hours and 45 minutes and costs $180 US. Now, I just have to find out how to get from Bogota to Turbo (the end/beginning of the Darien Gap) to complete the South American portion of my Pan-American Highway trek.

I took Cruz del Sur from Lima to Tacna, near the Chilean border, and it was by far the nicest bus I have ever ridden in. The deluxe seats recline 160 degrees, they serve three hot meals a day (with your choice of beef, chicken, or vegetarian), and there's bingo every night!
