Exposure to a new culture
October 20, 2025by: Patrick WalshEverything 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!
Be adventurous!

I wholeheartedly recommend Arcos. Be genuinely interested in the country's history and be adventurous!
