High School Homestays Programs in Peru

The greatest benefits of my daughter's program in Peru were learning about another culture and gaining independence traveling abroad. Pay attention to documents sent to you from Arcos prior to the program as you will find them helpful for preparing. Amazing trip!

Everything went extremely smoothly on my son's program in Peru with his teacher and classmates from York Prep. The greatest benefits were exposure to a new culture, camaraderie with classmates, teachers and host family. The pre-departure documents provided were excellent as well. Thank you Arcos!

This program is a great opportunity! A key benefit was staying in a foreign country and having to speak a different language. While getting sick was a challenge, I would advise future students to be mindful of what they eat and drink. I wholeheartedly recommend this program.

Arcos provided a wonderful study abroad experience! The directors were great. The overall benefits, like seeing Machu Picchu and meeting my host mom, were highlights. I wholeheartedly recommend Arcos. Be genuinely interested in the country's history and be adventurous!

I highly recommend this program for the opportunity to experience new cultures. A constructive tip is to spend more time exploring the city of Lima. Just be mindful of your food choices. This program truly has a lot to offer to see sights like Machu Picchu.

I highly recommend going to Peru with Arcos! My homestay experience was wonderful, and I absolutely loved my host mom. The activities were divese and engaging and gave a lot of insight into Peruvian culture. Overall, it was a truly beneficial experience.

I cannot recommend this trip or this company enough. Peru had been on my to do list forever and I was fortunate enough to go on this trip and do everything I wanted to do! We learned about the history of Peru in various archeological sites, took a chocolate class, helped a local community with service projects, and of course, visited Machu Picchu. The service aspect of the trip was incredible. The group stayed with a village in Misminay, up in the mountains, assisting with house repair, tree planting, and whatever else they needed. TFT has a long history with the people of this traditional Peruvian village and the people were so welcoming and kind, showing us pictures of previous TFT groups! The city of Cuzco was full of exciting restaurants, shops, and places to explore. There was never a dull moment! Machu Picchu was a truly magical day which exceeded even my wildest dreams. If you're looking to learn about Peruvian culture, eat amazing food, and make great memories, this is the trip for you.
