Once I get to Puerto Escondido, can I pay by credit card or travelers checks for the homestay and services provided by the language school?
Instituto de Lenguajes Puerto Escondido is a cash only business, as are most businesses in Puerto Escondido. We accept, pesos, dollars, yen, lira, pounds, colones, quetzals, sheckles, pieces of eight and gold doubloons but the homestay families only accept pesos. However, there are exchange houses and banks all over Puerto where you can change travelers checks. Also, there plenty of ATMs if you want to withdraw money from your credit or debit cards. We recommend that you advise your bank that you are going to be traveling in Mexico or sometimes they refuse out of country withdrawals.
