Medical trips last two week, leaving the UK on a Saturday and returning 2 weeks later.
The following tables gives an indication of the trip timetable:
| Day No | Day of Week | |
| 1 | Thursday | (Leave UK in the morning) Arrive in Lima later same day. Some people may choose to arrive earlier (tourist activities). The team will gather and stay in a Lima hotel overnight (name & address of hotel will be advised). |
| 2 | Friday | Fly to Iquitos. During Friday and Saturday there will be the opportunity to visit some other Vine Trust projects in and around Iquitos and to have a team meeting (with Peruvian medical staff). |

| 14 | Wednesday | Fly back to Lima. We would anticipate arrival back in Lima by early / mid afternoon. In some cases this would allow people to start their journey home or to start any tourist activities arranged. Otherwise stay overnight in Lima |
| 15 | Thursday | Leave Lima- travel home or start tourist activities. |
Work days are usually 9 till 5, with an hour for lunch - but this will vary depending on the location and whether the ship will visit one or more communities in a day.
Many of our volunteers stay on and travel further in South America after the medical trip has finished.
