Travel Tips
I found out the best thing is to use a credit card and if you need cash get it from an ATM. The ATM gave the best exchange rate.

Most banks can exchange currency for you, but your best bet is probably to bring American money with you and exchange it there.
Use American Express
Whenever travelling abroad, always use your credit cards whenever you can. You will get a MUCH better exchange rate than you would exchanging cash over the counter.
I would get a prepaid visa card. They are better than travelers checks. There are many ATM麓s in Miraflores that give dollars or Soles. http://usa.visa.com/personal/cards/prepa...
When you travel outside your own country you may need to exchange your currency for that of another country.
Since currency exchange rates vary from place to place and day to day, where and how you exchange currency can make a big difference in your wallet.
Using a Credit Card to Exchange Currency
As long as you have a working PIN number, you can also use your credit or debit card to get cash overseas. Find out if there are credit card ATM machines where you will be traveling:

* American Express ATM Finder
* MasterCard/Cirrus ATM Locator
* Visa ATM Locator

Having a credit card is especially useful when you travel. With one, it's unnecessary to carry large sums of money. Use a credit card rather than cash to pay for larger expenses, such as hotel bills and major purchases, since you will have a receipt of the transaction. If a bill is disputed, your credit card company may be able to help you settle the matter when you get home.

Do keep in mind, however, that credit card companies may levy an additional fee for overseas usage. If you're not sure, check with your company before you leave home.
