Travel Tips
Expert advice from our travel specialists
Use Copa for Connections
Panama City is a great hub for reaching multiple Latin American countries. Copa offers competitive fares and good connections.
Book Internal Flights Separately
Domestic Latin American flights are often cheaper when booked directly with local carriers than as add-ons to international tickets.
Carry USD as Backup
US dollars are widely accepted or easily exchanged throughout Latin America. Useful for emergencies and when ATMs fail.
Use ATMs Wisely
Withdraw from bank ATMs inside buildings, not street-facing machines. Wise/Wealthsimple cards offer best exchange rates.
Get FMM for Mexico
The FMM tourist permit is required for Mexico—fill out online before arrival for faster processing.
Learn Spanish Basics
Even a few phrases (hola, gracias, cuánto cuesta) open doors throughout Latin America. Apps like Duolingo help.
