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

All reputable agents take CC I NEVER wire money have

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.
