Cheapest way to move goods: Ocean, coasts, rivers Overland travel very expensive, slow
40 mile overland journey across Panama : 4 days
Sugar: low value Sugar plantation within 15 miles of coast in
order to be profitable Silver:
High value of goods outweighed high cost of overland transport
Potosí to Lima: 4 months by mule
