Local Information The official currency of Mexico is the Mexican Peso. American funds are widely accepted, though we recommend buying some pesos, especially for shopping at the local markets and tips. Currency can be exchanged at casas de cambio (exchange houses), banks, and hotels, though the latter usually have the highest rates and tack on a service fee. ATMs are readily available and accept foreign bankcards. Major credit cards are widely accepted.
Airport
Information American Airlines, Continental Airlines, and AeroMexico offer service into Huatulco year round. Air schedules are reduced in the summer months. Please be advised that many destinations charge a departure fee. Generally, most airlines include this fee in the cost of your airline ticket. We recommend you contact the airline directly to review the details with the carrier.
Entry
Requirements The U.S. Department of State and Homeland Security requires all travelers to and from Mexico to have a passport to establish the bearer's identity and nationality. Non-U.S. citizens should contact the airline they are traveling on, or their local consulate regarding the specific entry requirements that apply to their nationality.
