lowing pracVical information respefting the time which is required in ascending from 

 the lake to Quito, and in the return. From the lake the traveller enters the Mara- 

 non by the Huallaga, and ascends in four days to the mouth of the river Pastasa. 

 Proceeding by this river, he reaches in one day the port of Santander ; in twelve, 

 the town of Pinches; in two, that of Andoas ; and in twenty, that of Canelos*. 

 He travels thence by land, in eight days, to the baths ; in one and a half, to Ham- 

 bato ; to Tacunga, in one day ; and in two, to Quito. The return is much shorter, 

 seeing that it does not require more than twenty-seven days and a half: the twelve 

 and a half, as before, by land, to Canelos ; thence, descending by the Bobonaza, 

 to Andoas, seven days ; to the mouth of the Pastasa, six days ; and to the lake, 

 two. It may hence be inferred, that it requires much less time to proceed from 

 Lima to the lake, than from the lake to Quito ; and the same observation applies 

 to the return. Accordingly, in the route from Lima, twenty-three days only are 

 employed! ; and I did not require more than thirty-nine for the return, in the manner 

 following : from the lake to Yurimaguas, three days ; to the jun£tion of the Moyo- 

 bamba with the Huallaga, seven ; to that of the Huayabamba, three ; to the Port del 

 Valle, two ; to Sion, one ; to the port- of Pampa-Hermnsa, three ; and to Playa- 

 Grande, eight. From the above town, the journey overland to Huanuco was per- 

 formed by me in four days; and proceeding thence, at the expiration of eight others 

 I reached Lima. 



ENTRANCE INTO THE MOUNTAINOUS TERRITORY FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF 



HUAMILIES. 



By this department the traveller may reach the river of Huanuco, by directing 

 his route from Chavin to the haven of Chicoplaya, distant twenty-eight leagues. 

 Twenty-six of these leagues are performed, with the help of mules, in five days, 

 the following baiting-places intervening : namely Tantamayo, Carpa, Santa Rosa, 

 Chipaco, Monzon, and Chicoplaya ; and the other two are travelled on foot, from 

 the latter town to its haven : thence to Playa-Grande there are nine leagues, which

 navigation by the river Bobonaza.
