How long would it take to travel through the mantle?

The mantle is 2884 km deep. If I were to travel through the mantle, how long would my journey be?

By the way, I know this sounds stupid. No one could ever travel through the mantle, it’s way too hot (4,000 degrees F), but I have to write a paper about traveling through the different layers of the earth.
