Anyone know of an ATM on the highway in San Felipe?
Somewhere on Mex 5 so I don't have to go into town? Thanks. Also , what do Mexicans call ATMs?

I've heard cajero, although if I remember correctly, the 2 ATMs in Todos Santos are labeled "ATM".

The best way to avoid a rip off is to use an ATM at a bank, not on a street. The bogus ATM’s can copy your PIN and other info on your card and then
drain your account.

There was a HSBC cajero inside Calimax on the right side of the highway going south. That was last May.

We've used the machine Paul refers to - and it's five or six miles before S.F. - just tell the fellow at the gate that you'd like to use the ATM
machine and he'll let you in. Easy as can be.

Avoiding town? Not if you are going past San Felipe
You cannot go beyond San Felipe (on pavement) without going to the 'center of town', the traffic circle with two gas stations, opposite each other
(there are many 4-way stop signs crossing town, but not a big deal). That traffic circle is just a few blocks west from the main commercial street
along the coast. The traffic circle is where you turn right to coninue south on Hwy. 5.

SF ATMs
Better image
5 or 6 at Bancomer, never have to wait. Short walk from parking to the bank from the NE. Advantage during banking hours there is always an English
speaking person for help. English display
3 at Calimax crowded as it a very busy place with no privacy?
1 each at both military places. No wait at either.
I forget if other than Bancomer if they have English display?

Yeah the northern Pemex that is now an ARCO, right after the "Rockodile" sign used to have one but it is no longer there (it was inside the OXXO).
In that pre-Google Earth and social media epoch, The Code was adhered to. It was based on a simple verity: if a locale had been transformational for
you, and you had put the hard yards in to get there and to learn it, to know it, why in god�s name would you broadcast the news, thus ruining the
future experience not only for yourself, but for future adventurers?

Quite right. If something goes wrong with the transaction, the required fix will be much easier with the bank located atm .
