Terrestrial Operations/BiOceanic Corridor
Located on the non-reclaimed part of the island will be the terrestrial port. It will be located near the airport. This is where all the parking, transit, buses, subways, micros will be located. Most importantly however, it will be the link between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. From the terrestrial port hundreds of freight trains every day will originate to be transported cross-country to the city of Pucallpa where they will be shipped via the Amazon River to the Atlantic. From the port it will go through the tunnel under the ocean and keep going underground for 15 kilometers until it leaves the Lima Metropolitan Area at around Lurigancho. From there it will cross the Andes then into the Amazon until it reaches Pucallpa in the Ucayali Region. From Pucallpa it will travel up the Ucayali River until it merges with the Amazon River and will pass by the city of Iquitos, the nation's fifth largest city. There it will pick up cargo and continue on the largest river in the world to the Atlantic Ocean.

Famous quotes containing the words operations and/or corridor:
“A sociosphere of contact, control, persuasion and dissuasion, of exhibitions of inhibitions in massive or homeopathic doses...: this is obscenity. All structures turned inside out and exhibited, all operations rendered visible. In America this goes all the way from the bewildering network of aerial telephone and electric wires ... to the concrete multiplication of all the bodily functions in the home, the litany of ingredients on the tiniest can of food, the exhibition of income or IQ.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“And now in one hour’s time I’ll be out there again. I’ll raise my eyes and look down that corridor four feet wide with ten lonely seconds to justify my whole existence.”
—Colin Welland (b. 1934)
