The longest way in the world on foot without the need to cross the ocean or any other significant barrier is from Cape Town (South Africa) to Magadan (Russia). There is no need for planes or boats and there are bridges. The total distance is 21,808 km and it takes an average of 4,310 hours to walk. It would be 187 days walking non-stop, or 561 days walking 8 hours a day. Along the way, you pass through 17 countries, six time zones and all seasons.
