Ways to save
Change currency
Always change your money into the local currency. The rates change daily. You will get more for your money using local pesos.
Getting around
Uber Taxi Moto Taxis
You can use Uber which is economical, they will try to ask you for cash , be adamant and say credit card only. The drivers tend to cancel when they don't get cash payers. Be prepared to have a few cancel on you before one arrives. You will not be charged the cancelation fee if they cancel the ride.
Moto Taxis are the cheapest about 50 pesos a ride. This may not be the safest way. If you are not comfortable , I recommend using taxis.
