I am going to PV May 25th and was wondering if I would get a better exchange rate in PV rather than in Canada, right now it is 0.17 in Canada at the bank!!
Do you exchange money in Can or PV??

Re:Do you exchange money in Can or PV??
What we usually do is exchange a little money, maybe $50 at our local bank into pesos before going to P.V. That way we have some local currency when we first get in for cab fare, quick eats, etc. Then we exchange the rest of our money in Mexico. You should watch the exchange rates carefully in P.V. They will vary from place to place. The banks even vary from one to another, but generally the banks provide the best rate of exchange.

Best rate of exchange is usually the bank at the airport, closed Sunday. The ATMs at the airport & town will also give you a good rate, far, far better than what you will get at home!
Make sure your PIN# is only four digits.

I just got back from PV today and found the rate of exchange better at the airport in Vancouver than in PV. Also, the rate is better downtown than at the resorts and you have more places there to shop around. I found that at Vancouver airport I received $6.3CD/peso. At our resort in PV we received $5.1CD/peso and in town it was $5.4CD/peso.
