Get pesos from an ATM
A lot of restaurants and shops only take cash and you’ll often get a better deal with cash. We suggest that you use ATMs at the airport to get local currency when you arrive in Puerto Vallarta. Make sure you decline the conversion that the ATM offers; your bank will automatically give you a much better conversion rate.
