Renting a car is highly recommended, as there are no taxis, Ubers, or public transportation options in our area.

Having a car will provide the flexibility to explore the town and surrounding areas at your convenience.

The most convenient way to reach Todos Santos from Los Cabos International Airport (SJD) is by private shuttle or rental car. We recommend arranging transportation in advance to ensure a smooth journey. The drive from the airport to Todos Santos takes approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes along a scenic coastal highway.

For stays of up to 180 days, U.S. and Canadian citizens do not require a visa to visit Baja California or other parts of Mexico. However, a valid passport is necessary for entry. ​

Upon arrival, travelers must obtain a Forma Migratoria Múltiple (FMM), commonly known as a tourist card. This document permits stays of up to 180 days and is typically issued upon entry. ​

It’s advisable to ensure your passport is valid for the entire duration of your stay. While Mexico does not mandate additional validity beyond your departure date, some airlines may have their own requirements. ​

Before traveling, always verify the latest entry requirements and recommendations for your nationality by consulting official sources, such as the U.S. Department of State or the Government of Canada’s travel advisories. ​

​As of February 28, 2025, the exchange rate was approximately 1 USD to 20.546 MXN.

While U.S. dollars are widely accepted in Baja California, paying in Mexican pesos often provides better value, as local vendors may offer more favorable prices in the local currency.​

For the most current exchange rates, consider checking reliable financial sources or using currency conversion apps before your trip.​

​When exchanging currency in Baja California, consider the following options:​

ATMs (Cajero Automático):

• Availability: Widely available in most towns and cities across Baja California.​
• Advantages: ATMs typically offer competitive exchange rates, often aligning closely with official rates.​
• Considerations: Be aware of potential fees, including those imposed by your home bank and the local ATM operator. To minimize costs, withdraw larger sums less frequently.​

Currency Exchange Houses (Casas de Cambio):

• Location: Commonly found in major cities and near border crossings.​
• Advantages: They provide a straightforward process for exchanging foreign currency, and rates can be favorable.​
• Considerations: Exchange rates may vary between establishments, so it’s beneficial to compare rates at different locations.​

Banks:

• Services: Offer currency exchange services during business hours, typically from 9 AM to 1 PM.​
• Considerations: Some banks may require you to have an account to exchange currency, and the process can be time-consuming. Additionally, they might offer less favorable rates compared to ATMs or exchange houses.​

Additional Tips:

• Avoid Airport Exchanges: Currency exchange services at airports often have less favorable rates and higher fees.​
• Use Credit/Debit Cards: Major establishments accept credit and debit cards. However, inform your bank of your travel plans to prevent potential blocks on international transactions.​
• Carry Some Cash: While cards are widely accepted, it’s advisable to have some pesos on hand for smaller vendors or in areas where electronic payments aren’t available.​

For the most current exchange rates, consider using reputable online currency converters or financial apps before making transactions.​
