And how much should be exchange ahead of time to have on hand once we land at the airport to pay cabs, etc?
Travel Tips
You can exchange at the airport if you are flying. Then I think most any bank or hotel can exchangethe moeny for you. A lot of the debit/atm cards are accepted down there in the ATMs. So I would get large amounts of money out at once and only have to pay the fee one time. Better than having a ton of US (or whatever) money stashed away in a drawer.
In order to do an easy conversion for cabs and stuff, just think about what you would pay in the US (5 dollars?) then multiply that by ten. Then you would have to have 50 pesos on hand. When I studied in Guanajuato I think the taxi rides across a kind of smallish town cost about 20 pesos... Everything costs just cheaper than it does here. I think a 30 min cab ride to the city from the airport cost would cost about $30 american, so that would be 300 pesos. |
