Don't know anything about them, but until you know for sure that they are a reputable company, I would never us Western Union. No recourse it they run off with your $$.

Not all companies accept credit cards or Paypal, but to me those that do appear a little more stable, and you do have some recourse if they don't come through as promised.

incalandadventures.com Flavio my fav yours ok another

Cusco based local www.saexplorers.org/clubhouses/cusco

pmexplorers.com culturalimmersion.org are the top 2 Cusco

travel agents on the board...

All reputable agents take CC I NEVER wire money have

Always use Visa or other good CC all companies including yours

do and insuremytrip.com also lots of strikes cancellations


Happy Planning!

The company that used for my trip to Machu Picchu asked me If I was able to use Western union to send money for my deposit but I used my credit card because I think credit card is safer, using a credit card is that you can dispute charges if services are not delivered. For my trip to Machu Picchu I used http://mythicaltrailsperu.com/index.html and I didn't get any problem.
