| Evaluation and testing | 1–3 days | Tests required and cycle timing. |

| IVF or egg freezing | About 10–14 days when monitoring is local | Confirm which stages will occur in Mazatlán. |

| Follow-up | Often remote | Symptoms and results. |
ARRIVAL
Planning your arrival in Mazatlán
Mazatlán International Airport (MZT) has domestic flights and connections that may vary by season. Confirm routes, schedules and baggage rules directly with the airline.
Use authorized or pre-arranged transportation. Travel time to Marina depends on traffic and time of day, so allow extra time for early appointments.
WHERE TO STAY
Compare proximity, flexibility and services
Marina: logical for repeated clinic visits. Cerritos: a residential setting with more attention to transportation. Golden Zone: extensive accommodation options with potentially longer travel to Marina. Historic Center: suitable for fewer appointments but farther away.
Prioritize flexible cancellation, a refrigerator, elevator, food options, delivery access and straightforward transportation.

INTERNATIONAL PATIENTS
Coordination can begin before the trip
Review immigration requirements, passport validity, airline policies and insurance coverage. If medical records are in another language, ask whether a translation is required.
Travel conditions can change. Review official guidance from your country and request updated logistics from ViaFERT before confirming travel.
A CALM STAY
Activities by level of effort
A meal in Marina, a short visit to Plazuela Machado or the Historic Center, or viewing the sunset from an accessible location.
A short section of the Malecón, galleries or cultural activities when your care team considers them appropriate.
Climbing El Faro, water sports, long beach walks, island excursions or prolonged heat exposure.
A beach setting or rest alone does not increase implantation probability. Follow individual medical instructions and adapt activity to your symptoms.
