The weeks before you fly.

Practical first. Sort your insurance, check your passport, book the Lima connection with room to spare, and start any conversation with your doctor early rather than the week before.

Then the rest. Tell someone at home where you are going and when you will be back in contact. Finish what you can finish at work. Arriving with an unresolved crisis in your pocket makes the whole stay harder.

The specific preparation Qinty asks for, including any dietary guidance and how far ahead it starts, is sent to you after your application is accepted.
