Hi Nomads,
I'm going to Baja soon for a few weeks, I'll spend a few days in Mulege and other places. When I travel I generally don't bring cash with me, I just
withdraw it at ATMs, will I be able to do that at Mulege or should I bring cash?
How much cash can one person legally bring in when crossing from the US?
Gracias a todos!

There is an ATM--a bank, even--in Mulege now.DENNIS - 12-11-2007 at 06:00 PM
There are ATMs almost everywhere. Don't carry any more cash than necessary.
Welcome to BajaNomad and have a great trip.Al G - 12-11-2007 at 06:00 PM
You don't need cash in Mulege...unless you want to buy something.. in that case
go to the bank downtown...easy to find they are on the street that goes under the bridge.
Second question $10,000...carasapo - 12-11-2007 at 06:05 PM

Oh yeah...that's important. If they see a bunch of international activity on your card, they'll take it upon themselves to freeze your account
untill you call them. What a pain. It has happened to me five or six times. Your first call goes to India, then.......... Well, you get the
picture.osoflojo - 12-12-2007 at 05:09 AM
Actually you can bring more than $10,000 you just have to declare it with CBP.bajadedom - 12-12-2007 at 07:57 PM

MAKE SURE YOU CLEAR YOUR ATM CARD WITH YOUR BANK BEFORE YOU LEAVE .IF NOT CLEAREDWITH THE BANK , THEY WILL LOCK IT OUT WHEN YOU GO TO USE IT.
in that case
go to the bank downtown...easy to find they are on the street that goes under the bridge.
