Walking it in three days is not possible as 60 miles is the best they could have hoped to have covered.
- Julius Caesar is said to have been able to travel 100 miles a day, but that was with horses.

Secret paths might help, but in the mountains "short cuts" usually take longer. Most good trails or roads follow the best and quickest way through the mountains.

Rafting on the Urubamba River might solve the problem although there some fairly mild white water. Practice for the Maya country river? However, another problem is that the river seems to be flowing in the wrong direction as it flows to the northwest.
