Which trade route took the longest (in time) to travel?
score:1
Accepted answer
The Manila Galleon might be a contender if you add the overland and transatlantic parts of the trip. Manila to Acapulco or Panama, Panama to Havana, Havana to Seville.
Do you count the round trip, if each leg waits for once-a-year seasonal winds?
