    When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Use pesos.

    I would agree with Henry because I find it annoying when people dont use Canadian currency when they are up here, however, I am hopeless at converting so I use USD in Cancun. I might get ripped off a couple dollars here and there but I try not to worry too much about money down there...until I run out

    The peso is your friend. Can and usd are about 12.3 to 1 right now, use simple math in pesos and think 10 pesos per dollar and you'll have a good general idea of cost.

    U.S or Pesos

    Hey all,

    What would be the wiser thing to do with the exchange rate and currency being used in Mexico..would getting cash converted to pesos be the smarter thing to do?


    Thanks
