Massive video games have never really managed to really convincingly sort out how to make characters travel from one side of a vast world to the other while keeping the player in the experience.

How to Fast Travel in Horizon Forbidden West
Horizon Forbidden West utilizes a system of campfires to traverse between. Once you have visited one, you can fast travel back to it pretty much whenever you want, cutting out unnecessarily bland journey times. Campfires are where you can save your game and you should always do so when one is in the vicinity.
You will find plenty of campfires around and this actually makes travel a breeze as you get further into the game. It is important to understand what type of fast travel is going to cost you a Fast Travel Pack.
If you open the map and select a previously discovered campfire and hold down your right trigger you will zoom to that location for the princely sum of one Travel Pack.
If however, you are already at a campfire you can hit your Circle button to fast travel to another campfire and it won’t cost you anything, saving a Travel pack for a more useful moment in the future.
