Info about www.LatinAmerica4less.
Hello, I just started to plan my next year vacation to South America (Brazil, Argentina and Chile).
I notice some inexpensive deals on LatinAmerica4Less.
Anybody who used this travel agency please share your experience. Are they any good, reliable?
Thanks

I don't have any direct knowledge but have seen discussions here about this company - there seems to be a similarly named company (latinamericforless.com) that contributes to confusion. Here is a link to search results for this company - you can click on the threads to read the comments

RUN RUN RUN. See the other posts on this company and check with the Better Business Bureau (F rating).
I had booked a package for an August trip that I paid for in full in January. I have been spending the last month trying to get my itinerary and reservation numbers for a trip that I have to leave tomorrow night for. I was trying to make one simple change to my domestic flight back from a Wednesday to a Monday on the same airline to another flight with plenty of availability. After I sent an authorization for this agency to charge me a $50 reservation change fee they told me that I would have to pay an additional $150 to be on the flight I wanted bringing my grand total to $200 to change only my return flight on a $287 round trip flight. I went directly to the airline's website and found a one way ticket on the same flight for only $122. I had to call the airline (paying international phone rates) and the agency at the same time and have the airline tell my "agent" that the difference was only $39.17 not the $150 they are claiming and that since they still had not actually paid for my ticket it would cost nothing more to make the change. My agent then said she would call me back. It has been two hours and I am still waiting.
I traveled in 2008 to Costa Rica with a package from LatinEscapes.com and had a wonderful time. I received everything I paid for, airfare was a breeze and the hotels were great.
I booked with this agency because I thought it would be inexpensive and less time consuming than booking on my own. Never again!
Let's hope I can actually get on that plane tomorrow night.

10/19/2010 - I had booked and paid for a trip to Panama, leaving this Friday. I just got a call today (Tuesday) saying the company is bankrupt. Not only did they not book my trip, they said they are not refunding my money. STAY AWAY
