Question

What should I be aware of when traveling to Mexico?

Answer

Here are a few travel tips: Water: Do not drink any unfiltered water from the tap. We recommend purchasing water bottles. Traffic: Like any major city, there can be traffic getting around. We recommend buffering your timing as traffic can increase time estimates. Pesos: Many places accept debit/credit cards from all major banks, but we suggest taking some Pesos as some local stores/markets only accept cash. They will accept USD, but you're better off paying in the local currency. Pesos can be exchanged at your bank by ordering them a few days in advance, through currency exchange store, or at the airport (although airport currency exchanges generally give the lowest rates). Restrooms: Doors marked with an "M" are actually for Ladies, "Mujeres". Don't make the same mistake Zach did! For men look out for "Hombres" or "Caballeros"; for ladies, look out for "Mujeres" or "Damas".
