Mexico entry rules vary by nationality. In general, bring a valid passport and expect an entry permit process at immigration (often referred to as an FMM visitor permit), with the length of stay granted at the officer's discretion. Arrivals by air, land, and sea can have different procedures. Always check the latest official guidance for your passport country and your specific entry route before travel.
Mexican Peso (MXN)
Cards are widely accepted in La Paz hotels and restaurants. Carry pesos for small vendors, taxis, tips, and protected-area entry logistics.
ATMs are common in Centro and along major roads. Have cash before early boat departures and remote beach days.

Idioma
Spanish is the default. English is common in dive shops, hotels, and tour operations, but learning basic Spanish helps with taxis and local dining.
