When and where do you recommend exchanging US currency for Mexican?
You may want to bring a little with you from the States just for any emergencies
that might occur before you get to the Lakeside area. It’s always best
to be prepared! However, if you get in early enough (no delays), we will take
you by SuperLake (a grocery store in the area) where you can exchange traveler’s
checks or money. SuperLake has one of the best exchange rates in the area.
Since we go to Guadalajara the next day, it’s good to have extra pesos
(even though a lot of shops in the Tlaquepaque area accept credit cards).
Also, if something happens and your plane arrives late, we can also stop at
an Exchange House in Guadalajara to exchange money. We suggest you bring at
least $300 with you for incidentals during the eight days that you’re
here. By the way, you should inform your credit card company that you are
going to Mexico.
