City advice

Getting around

Transportation

We love walking. Uber is good. If you take taxis, I love them but is hit or miss… if you don’t speak Spanish…Uber might be the best. There r not many taxis… There is city bycicles and bycicle roads. That can be fun. But be careful, drivers are not that careful…
Getting around

Safety

We were there September 2022. Felt safer than New Orleans…where we live. Be smart. Look around. Be mindful with the phones And counting money…Don’t exchange dollars to the people offering Cambio on Florida St. There is a pago fácil on Peru & Humberto Primo. They change. Highly recommend.
