In February 2012 he joined the AP as a correspondent in Honduras, where he reported on a prison fire that killed more than 360 inmates his first day on the job. Since then he has ventured into many hostile environments, from gang-controlled prisons to the barrios of Tegucigalpa for stories about gang terror and police death squads. After that, he joined AP’s Mexico City bureau, where he continues to cover Central America. Arce graduated from the University of Santiago de Compostela in Spain and earned his masters from the Latin American Faculty for Social Sciences in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He won the 2012 Rory Peck award for his coverage of the Battle for Misrata in the Libyan civil war and reported before that from Lebanon, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran or Syria.
