What kind of currency should I take to Mexico? |
Travel Info I am going to go on vacation in Cancun for a week, but what kind of currency should I take, and how much? Should I take some of each (Canadian and American dollars, and Mexican Pesos)? Should I just take one, or two? Travel Tips Most places accept the American Dollar, but I would suggest exchanging to pesos to get the best deal. Shops usually will use a 10:1 conversion, when actually it is closer to 11:1, so if you are looking for a good deal, shop around for the "casa de cambio" with the best rates...if you aren't looking for the best deal, the US Dollar will be just fine. Have a great vacation :) Source(s): I live in Canc煤n! Other Travel Tips I have found that American currancy works best in Cancun. A big tourist place like Cancun will accept American Dollars everywhere, if somewhere doesn't all you have to do is step into a bank there and they will convert your Dollars to Pesos. Just check on the conversion rate before you go it is usually like 1 dollar: 10 pesos. Don't take Canadian money. Just my opinion Don't bother with the Canadian money. Most places down there will take American dollars so I'd suggest just bringing that, you can always change it for some pesos down there if you need to but I've never needed pesos in Mexico, even most of the little tiendas take American money. US dollars are fine. How much? Up too you. Don't carry large amounts of cash with anywhere. Use travelers checks too. Safest way and if you loose them they can be replaced. Also, don't expect change back in US dollars. Most place will give change back in Pesos. If you need to exchange US dollars for Pesos most if the larger hotels and resorts will have a foreign money exchange desk in their lobbies. |
