#1 Mistake when flying in...

I have had several people visit me, and they always make the same mistake.

They change their money at the first booth they see, only to find out that the amount of pesos they get for their dollars increases as they move out of the customs area and nearer the door.

The last person to visit me, calculated that his mistake had the same result as if he had thrown 900 pesos in the garbage (about 290.00 dollars).

Before you leave go to dolarhoy.com and check what the current exchange rates are.   You should get somewhere between the compra rate and the venta rate. The following should be accurate.



Don't worry. If you can't find a comparable rate at the airport, all taxi services accept dollars, and there are plenty of honest currency exchanges (casa de cambio) in the city.

Just a friendly tip.
