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!
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.
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.
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.
