In Quest for El Dorado can movement from cards be interspersed?

For example with a 3 machete and 1 sailor could I move forest-forest-sailor-forest?

If you have left over power on a card it can only be used for **the next space**. if it is not then then the power is lost. As soon as the sailor card is played to move then any power left on the card with machete symbol are lost.

I did not see any indication in the rules that would allow you to use unspent power on a card after a new card for movement has been played.
