IIRC there was a small bank at the airport at Puerto Vallarta but we haven't been since about 1998 ... is this still there and still a good place to change $$ to pesos?

TIA

I don't think there's a cambio there any more(?) but there is an ATM.

I paid for an airport taxi with USD, then waited to get downtown/my hotel & either changed money at a street casa de cambio or found an ATM (June this year).

Thanks Suze ... we weren't going into town this trip, just heading north to a much smaller town that wants pesos, not $$, so was hoping to do the exchange at the airport.

Hopefully someone else will chime in and say for sure.

If not, ask over on the PV board at Trip Advisor (on the forum section, not the hotels reviews part). It is very active lately with lots of Vallarta folks posting there.

Hi Bill: I am wondering how far North you are going and to what town. If you are driving--La Penita, about 50 miles north, has a bank.

Bill_H

Blondlady, the town we're driving to has a bank but it's just soooo much easier to handle this at the airport

There is an ATM machine in the PVR airport.

blondlady

hummmmm Bill, do you have some secluded, quiet and quaint hideaway with a beautiful beach, not yet obstructed by tall condos and such that we should know about??? Have fun.

suze

anyone? I still want to know the answer to this one

so *IS* there a bank window at PVR or just the atm machine(s)???

I bet I know where Bill is going

Bill_H

You're right Janet, you do

If it turns out well I'll post a report.

The last time I was there (May 2005) the bank with the multiple windows was still there. When you go through security, make a left. I always exchange currency there before I head into town.

No bank anymore at the airport.
A Casa de Cambio and two ATM machines.

Bill, since you are going before us, I hope you'll post a report whether it goes well or not!
