A perfect first experience abroad!
December 27, 2023by: Sheila SullivanProgram: Camino de Santiago: Hiking the WayArcos gives your child just the right amount of challenge and support for a first experience traveling abroad. They set the stage for our son to be excited to do more traveling and learning abroad in the future! Be sure to encourage your child to train for all the walking using the shoes they plan to wear. Encourage them to meet people beyond their group-mates, as there are pilgrims on the Camino from all over the world.
Far more affordable than other programs
December 16, 2023by: Amanda TurnerProgram: Camino de Santiago: Hiking the WayMy daughter came out of the Camino de Santiago with a sense of accomplishment and a boost in confidence! Encourage your child to train ahead of time, which will make their hike that much more enjoyable. That was a key part of my daughter having a positive experience. We are very happy with Arcos and will definitely look into future programs with them. Far more affordable than many other travel programs for teens out there!
Strongly recommended

I strongly recommend this program for anyone who would like to experience northern Spain on foot.
