Well, sometimes there are issues with ATMs
I know there are some in Guerrero Negro and some in Vizcaino
After that would be Mulege
I presume Loreto, but I dont know the location
And then La Paz.
Those are the ones I know of.

I've seen signs for them in San Quintin area, but have not used them.
I have only used one in GN, in a kiosk next to the first Pemex on south side of road as you enter town. It worked fine with my credit union debit
card.

There are absolutely no shortages of ATM's on Highway #1.

To my knowledge all of the big stores have them...Sorianas...Com Mex....Walmart...Costco, just to name a few. Plan your budget accordingly. Don't
carry too little or too much.
Are you familiar with Baja?

The Vizcaino BanComer cajero automatico is frequently grouchy. Haven't seen too many machines between Lazaro Card##as and Guerrero Negro. And that
distance is no joke.

Sadly you can't trade a couple of dog eared Playboy magazines for two kilos of shrimp anymore. Cash is king in Baja just like the rest of 'merica.
Baja has entered the 21st century and ATM's abound. Look for other links here for warnings and wise use. We check Oanda.com for the daily rate and
never pay more than 7 1/2 cents for a peso.

They are all up and down Baja. I like to use the Banamex in San Vicente. It is a quiet town and easy on and off the highway, there is a grocery store
next door. On left as you head South.

We used this one and the alarm/siren went off, very loud. No one in the bank seemed to care. But we were able to get pesos

as soon as you pass the 3rd toll gate at San Miguel heading south park on the right. there is an atm kiosk right there to the left of the store and
bathrooms. we use it everytime we head south. there are usually federal cops in the toll line looking all official so it gives a sense of securiity.
either way, we've never had an issue with that one.
the bank in G Negro is the only other one i trust, or have used.....

That may not be happening for a while, Woody, what with the big detour in place. He'll miss that last booth.

yeah, but there are no such big stores on the stretch that he asked about. It's better to carry at least some pesos - but not too much, agreed.
Midsize towns along Mex1 would have banks with ATM, though I hate paying 3 or 4 USD every time.
Paying in USD when the price is quoted in pesos, usually results in a huge mark-up, so it's better to pay pesos when they ask pesos.

In Loreto there is as of Wednesday a Banamex ATM at the Ley Grocery Store. Don't know how much longer that will be there since the bank itself closed
3 weeks ago.
In Insurgentes there is a BanNorte ATM at the Ley.
The Pemex at the corner there took it's ATM out.
There are many ATMs in Constitucion.
Then none until La Paz. 212 KMs.

Most definitely.
Besides......the almighty dollar isn't as revered as it used to be. Unless the person being paid in US bucks has a need for them, such as shopping in
the states, they are just another problem for him to get rid of without seeing a loss.
Use "Coin Of The Realm." It's the respectful thing to do.

There is an HSBC and Banamex in San Quintin that I have used a few times. The HSBC is around the north corner of the park, and Banamex is on the east
side of the 1. I have also seen a sign to another HSBC a few km south of San Quintin next to the Pemex but haven't actually verified it exists.
Also, the gas station in El Rosario can give you limited cash(<1000 pesos) against your ATM card for a 3% fee.

How about Cambios? I'm heading from Mulege North later this week and have more US bucks than pesos. I've been hitting about 50% trying to use a VISA
credit card at Pemexes.

No Cambios that I know of going north until Ensenada or so.
Also be careful when planning on using ATM's anywhere on the 1st and the 15th of the month. Most of the smaller places' ATM's run out of money for a
day or 2. Happens every month almost in Insurgentes.

Any updated list of ATM machines in Baja?
South of Ensenada, is the above (and added below) still valid?
San Vicente, San Felipe, San Quintin, Guerrero Negro, Vizcaino, Santa Rosalia, Mulege, Loreto, Insurgentes, Constitucion, La Paz.
Any more?
Baja Blanca reported an issue at the Vizcaino ATM, all resolved?
