This distance of three hundred and thirty-five miles may be shortened 

 twenty-eight by going direct from Lima to Cerro Pasco. (We passed 

 round by Tarma.) The traveller will find that the distance is divided 

 in the table into days' journeys nearly. Thus it will cost him, with 

 loaded mules, twenty-one days to reach the head of canoe navigation 

 on the Huallaga by this route, and nineteen by the other. The last 

 thirty miles between Chihuangala and Tingo Maria are travelled on foot, 

 though there would be no difficulty in opening a mule-road. «
