La Paz to Sorata by coach or mule-back, 2 days.
Sorata to Guanay, a hard trip on mule-back, 7 days.
Guanay to Rurrenabaque, on the river Beni, by raft, 4 days.
(In the rainy season, that is from January to April, there are very few rafts to be had. The route then would be from Sorata direct to Rurrenabaque, an interesting but rather difficult trip that would take fourteen days on mule-back.)
Rurrenabaque to river Alto at the junction of the Beni and the Madre de Dios by steam launch, 4 days; or by boat, 18 days.
From river Alto to Port San Antonio by boat, 6 days.
From Port San Antonio to Manaos on the Amazon, by steamer, 5 days.
Total: La Paz to Manaos, not counting time lost in making connection, 28 to 45 days.
