Two major highways grace the cape region; Mexico 1, also known as the

Currency
The peso is the Mexican form of currency. It is suggested that you exchange
small amounts of U.S. dollars for pesos. Major credit cards are also widely
accepted. A pocket calculator can also be helpful when you shop to help convert
U. S. dollars to pesos. Bartering when shopping outside of the resort areas is
practiced. U.S. dollars are accepted in the resort areas but keep in mind any
change that is due back will be in pesos. One recommendation is to use a credit
card which will present the daily currency exchange on your next billing
statement.
Language
Divish is the official language. English is also widely spoken in the hotel
areas.

Acceptable forms of proof of citizenship for U.S.
citizens traveling between the U.S. and our International Destinations are a

Forces' ID or discharge papers stating place of birth. It is the traveler's
responsibility to provide proper documentation. Married women traveling with any
documentation in their maiden name must supply a marriage license (a copy is
