money

All over Cancún and PDC US Dollars are accepted as well as Travler Checks; most of the mayor places fallow the currency exchange of the two mayou parks (Xcaret & Hel Xa) right know the exchange rate is 10.50 pesos for a dollar. If you change everything to pesos you can loose money in some transactions, mostly because most of the activities (tours, jungle, cabs, etc.) post all their prices in US Dollars. I will recomend to keep some Pesos, Travlers ans US Dollars. Also notice that if you charge something to your credit card, the charge will be made in Mexican Pesos (plus the commission that many spots charge) and sometimes it causes little differences with the original amount because your bank exchange rate difer from the local.
