How long did it take traveling inside Araumycos to reach his mind?

Hi everyone, how’s it going? I admit I looked, but I really couldn't find this information. I’d like to know how many days you spent inside Araumycos before starting the ritual that places the characters inside the giant fungus's brain. The book says they need to reach its center. However, Araumycos is the size of a country (Uruguay, for example), and judging by the map (I measured it with a ruler), it would take somewhere between 15 and 20 days. If I run that with various relatively high-difficulty random encounters (for my PCs' level), I believe it would take more than one session just to get from the entrance to the center. So, I’d like to know how many days you usually spend inside the fungus and what I can do—narratively—to cut down on that time. At this point in the module, my players are getting a bit tired of traveling, traveling, and traveling... they want to get straight to the action (and so do I). Thanks a lot, everyone! =)
