Plugs: The plugs in Mexico are types A or B. Type A has two flat parallel pins, and type B has the same two flat parallel pins plus a round grounding pin.

Currency: Mexican Pesos. The abbreviation is MXN. For a quick conversion check, my go to’s are Google and XE Currency Converter. XE also has a great app.

Cash or Card?: I would bring a combination of cash and cards. You will find that in most circumstances a card will work fine, but in small exchanges, you will need cash.

Best Time To Visit: April to May and September to October has the best balance of good weather and smaller crowds. The ultimate time is during their dry season, which runs from November to April.
