The peso is Mexico’s official currency, but almost all purchases in town can be paid in US dollars.

Dollars are accepted almost everywhere in Puerto Vallarta, however large bills (Franklins, etc.) can be difficult to break and can cause you hassles. We recommend you bring plenty of $1’s, $5’s, and $10’s.

If you go on an adventure way out of the main tourist areas, it will be best that you bring enough pesos along.

Before traveling to Puerto Vallarta it’s a good idea that you exchange 30 -40 dollars so you have change for the taxi, tips, etc., upon arrival, though all will accept dollars too, the rate they’ll give will not be the best.
