Question

Pesos

Answer

We recommend going to your bank a week or two before your trip to Mexico and getting about $150 USD worth of Pesos. This should come out to about 3,000 Pesos if the exchange rate is 20 Pesos per 1 USD. That’s more than enough to see you through your first few days in the country, and then after that you can pick up some money in Mexico at a nearby ATM. This is great for tipping cab drivers, appreciating street performers, and buying street food. The more physical pesos you are comfortable getting ahead of time, the better!
