Money Matters
|
| The currency in Mexico is the Peso.
It's best to bring US-dollar denomination travelers checks and some US dollars in cash. You can exchange money in banks or in casas de cambio.
Major credit cards are accepted by airlines, car rental companies and more expensive hotels and restaurants - but take extra care when using them, as credit-card fraud and theft is common in Mexico. In heavily touristed areas such as Acapulco, Cancun and Cozumel, you can often use US dollars as easily as pesos at hotels and restaurants.
Tipping is expected, generally 10-15% for restaurant service. Haggling at the markets is common, just be polite.

Packing Tips
|
| The Mexican climate doesn't vary too much year round, ranging from hot and humid in the coastal regions to hot and dry inland. Its best to determine the climate for the time and regions you'll be traveling.
For the most part, pack light, comfortable clothing such as cottons or linens, and a light jacket in the higher elevations.

Passports and Visas
|
| A valid passport is required by all foreign visitors to Mexico, except United States citizens, though it is recommended.
Citizens of many countries - including the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Argentina, Chile and virtually all Western European countries - do not require visas to enter Mexico as tourists. However, if they are staying longer than 72 hours, or are traveling beyond the Border Zone or certain exempted areas, they must obtain a 180-day Mexican government tourist card (tarjeta de turista), available from embassies or at border crossings.
