Question

do I need pesos?

Answer

It's always a good idea to carry some local currency. The best way to get the most competitive exchange rate is to use an ATM of a local bank upon arrival. Most hotels and restaurants take major credit cards. You WILL need pesos for taxis, tips, meals not provided by us, and anything else you might want to buy. Don't forget to call your bank to let them know you are traveling abroad. Tip: The exchange rate general rule is 1 dollar equals 20 pesos.

Question

is Zihuatanejo safe for tourists?

Answer

A google search about the safety of Mexico can always lead to some uncertainty. Despite Zihuatanejo being in the Guerrero state, which is known for having a high crime rate and violence, the city still has kept it's little town safe. As the town is frequented by many tourists every year, Zihua has managed to keep violence and crime at bay from their town. During our visit early this year we had zero issues with safety. But as a general rule of thumb when traveling anywhere, it's a good idea not to bring lots of valuables and of course be aware of your surroundings.

Question

how much will this trip cost?

Answer

We understand that this is a big cost for people will do our best to make this trip easy and affordable for everyone. The biggest cost will be the flights, so again please book early to get the best deal. The rest of the trip is flexible depending on where you stay and what you would like to do. We found the town to be super affordable - think nice meals for $20 (for 2 people), $2 beers/$4 mixed drinks, $3-5 taxi rides, and many cheap or free activities.
