There's no reason to travel with a lot of US$ and exchange it for pesos on the island if you have ATM access to your bank account. Just use a bank owned ATM and get your cash in pesos. Do NOT use the standalone ATMs out on the sidewalks around town; they are notorious for being hacked.I'm looking for the rate at the casa de cambio or banks.... Just trying to decide if I want to change money in the US or on the island.

The cambios charge for their services; using them may eat up any savings you may reap from using pesos.
